G-Lo Booed In Denver
Posted on the newsgroup alt.comedy.standup, a former fan speaks:
From: Manny
Subject: George Lopez at the Magness Arena in Denver, CO
Newsgroups: alt.comedy.standup
Date: 2004-06-12 03:06:35 PSTHello fellow standup fans. I just saw George Lopez perform stand up at the Magness Arena in Denver, CO. As usual Mr. Lopez was funny till he got boo’d for mentioning his attendance at a LA Lakers game. With the current case in Colorado against Koby Bryant and the Lakers rivalry with Denver it’s understandable that Mr. Lopez would get boo’in from the audience. What Mr. Lopez failed to see was that we were boo’in the Lakers name and not Mr. Lopez.
Mr. Lopez took this boo’in so personally that he proceeded to tell the audience to fuck off. He attempted to continue with the show but then proceeded to make statements like “I don’t need this shit. I have my own show and I don’t need to do stand up. I’m quitting stand up cuz of this shit (boo’in). I’ve been talking about chicanos and blacks stereotypes and this is what upsets you ?” He then proceeded to try to continue with the show but then continued to get upset about the boo’in. Mind you the audience was sitting there astonished at this immature display of childishness.
I would like to tell Mr. Lopez that he took the boo’in too far. He fucked up and never should of had taken the boo’in as a personal attack. The man has been doing stand up for many years and this is what upsets him ? I think Mr. Lopez has lost touch with his true
audience and thinks his show is the shizznitz. I spent $70.00 to see G-Lo. There were many other chicanos there that could not afford to see him but did it anyway to support a Latino comedian. I have numerous friends that wanted to see him but could not afford it. I think that his ego has gotten out of hand and he’s lost touch with his audience and his roots. I know that I will never pay to see George Lopez again. It’s a shame because I really enjoy his comedy and being that I’m latino I can really relate to it. Good Luck G-Lo. You’ll need it. I used to say great things about you but you fucked up. I turned on alot of people to your comedy but as of now your history in my book.
Good luck with that ego of yours.Manuel F. Roque

Traci Skene Kindle Single hilariously skewers traditional social and sexual mores as well as modern feminism. "This book is a prime example of quality over quantity."

The attitude you saw displayed at that concert really wouldn’t surprise many of the people who have shared the stage with Lopez very much. I know that my reaction to the green lighting of his show was that he would be even more impossible. G-lo’s attitude has always reflected an ego driven by insecurity. My personal belief is that ALL ego is driven by insecurity. That said, these are the very components that create stars. The desperate need to be viewed as superior is rarely fed by anything other than a feeling of extreme inadequacy. The need to convince a large number of people that you are acceptable and loveable is what drives most people into showbiz. Sometimes those very self-same people gain their lessons of acceptability in other ways that either settle them comfortably into their lives in the spotlight or allow them to remove themselves from the pursuit of it. I close the latter. I know these are generalizations, but as Lenny Bruce said, “We’re all the same schmuck.”
wow did that really happen?

Manny is right on target, this actually happened and my husband and I both being loyal fans of George Lopez, this was a stunner, definitely a lack of professionalism, and loyalty to his fans! We are now loyal “Un-Fans” of Mr. Lopez’s…….after spending $106 for tickets to see him throw a childish temper tantrum!!!
I’m in total agreement with you Manny. My Family and I were looking so forward to seeing G-Lo doing what he does so well, but after what happened at the Magness, we and anyone else who has heard my story will no longer support him in anything he does. I think he went to far with his comments and rather than being professional about the situation, he cried like a baby. I think the title “why you crying” fits him well, and now I understand why he was told that growing up. I don’t wish him the best of luck.
Insecurity I understand–I’d forgive G-Lo with the advent of an apology. If no apology, then I reiterate what my Latino friends and I said at his exit:
“Why you Cryin’ George? Cuz of the LAKERS??!!”

I feel the same way about the childish temper tantrum. Poor guy. I feel betrayed by this attitude after paying 140 dollars! There’s no professionalism in this guy. An ex-fan.
