Though his character acting is solid, Cullen's greatest skill is spewing inanities. "I just say whatever will come out and justify it later," he says. A slow-talking, lovable, heavyset Canadian, he gets away with continually threatening his audience with physical harm. In a song called With the Food of Your Choice, I Will End Your Life Tonight, he gets the audience to suggest foods to be used in disturbingly intricate murder scenarios. As a member of Corky and the Juice Pigs, he performs rock parodies on Fox's Mad TV. His mumbling Michael Stipe is perfect...
Past efforts show that Master P, who is executive producer of Snoop's album, knows his way around a studio. There are a few songs on his CDs Ghetto D and I Got the Hook-Up that have an earthy seductiveness.

Afterwards, the musicians did come out for two beautiful encores. The first, John Cale's "Gun," was a song Siouxsie and the Banshees had covered in the past. The second encore was the high-light of the evening. Siouxsie at her best sang as Cale strummed an electric viola for a stunning performance of "Venus in Furs," a song from the legendary 1967 album The Velvet Underground and Nico. Though originally Lou Reed had sung the lyrics, Sioux's appropriation of the words, "shiny shiny, shiny boots of leather," lent the song a sexy feminine air, which perfectly complemented Cale...
