So, Bam Margera's playing at the O2 Academy tonight in Liverpool. Honestly, I was never really into Bam Margera. He was probably my least favourite member of Jackass. Remember the sad losers who joined the show in the later seasons? They were the ones who were always doing the most humiliating and degrading things, apparently in the hopes of being initiated as an official member of the team. They were the best thing about Jackass. The real-life subtext of their hazing was what made the show hilarious.
"So... if I let the pig fuck me, I'll get as much pussy as Johnny Knoxville? OK! Ha, we're so crazy, aren't we guys?"
Bam Margera on the other hand, just wasn't funny, and his spin off, Viva La Bam, was just too obviously contrived. The comedy didn't work, because his parents were obviously in on it. You could almost see them smugly thinking about their big, fat, MTV paychecks while they were pretending to be angry because their naughty, late-twenties, ADHD man-child was jumping on his bed or playing music too loudly. He was probably supposed to be some sort of liberating role-model for, like, thirteen-year-olds, but I could never shake the fact that he was clearly too old to be acting like one. Don Vito was the saving Grace of that show, until he went to jail for molesting those young girls.
"Gaddamafackadangawheredahellbamat!?"
Moreover, his music is apparently nothing to write home about. I haven't listened to it, and I'm not going to. But if you're interested, Tickets are £16.78 (rip off, if you ask me) and he's playing at the O2 Academy Which is at 11-33 Hotham Street, in Liverpool City Centre. The doors open at 7:00pm.
