I believe that you, my friends at Rock Town Hall, would be best able to help me truly appreciate this man’s quest for glory and understanding. Is he a true believer? Is he above the law? Is he yet another obsessive rock nerd? You be the judge:
Heh, I’m an alto sax player who knows his way around a horn. This guy is a pop-nerd, not a rock-nerd. Kenny-G wanna-be (hey, that rhymes!). Dude, buy a shirt, kill the mullet, go home, and learn how to play some real blues on that thing. Then find a blues or soul bar that’ll be kind enough to let you in. You might discover what a sax is really for.
That Sasha Baron Cohen is one multifaceted dude!
My daughter was just talking about his guy. He’s doing his own version of the SNL skit called Sergio.

My favorite part comes around the 3:45 moment where his cameraman is arguing that because he’s famous, he’s above the law. Well, I guess fame is relative, but don’t more famous musicians consider this as a way to duck out of more problematic crimes?
He’s a performance artist, and I’m all for it. Much better this than eating mayo until you barf or smearing chocolate over your naked body and pretending it’s poop.
Yes, I enjoyed this when I first saw it. He is being a nuisance, but it’s harmless and amusing. Why take it seriously?
He’s an attention whore, but I just don’t complain about people playing music. The classroom one was funny as hell! The mall cops are way overboard. How long is the guy going to play? Five minutes? Let it go and worry about someone stealing crap in the parking lot. Where no one ever gets caught. Because the mall owners really don’t care about your property, just the people that pay rent.
Ha ha ha! Maybe the vinyl pants are left over Borat wardrobe wear.
