I saw tricky's first NYC show last year - what a bomb. Tricky actually
STOPPED two songs partway through because he seemed to forget the
lyrics, then he blamed the drummer for the whole show's ineptitude. I
don't mind musicians getting baked if they can handle it, but the
trickster becomes a retard when he's had some smoke in him. If you've
heard the Tricky vs. the Gravediggaz single "Tonight is a special night"
you'll hear Mr. Tricky deliver some of the lamest pot-induced rhymes
ever... "Are you really yourself? Are you someone else? Cuz I'm me! Ha
ha!" It's a great song when the RZA speaks, but the tricky pot-babble is
pretty sad.
