Promoters for Canadian Event Cancel Notorious MSG Show Due to Content
The Notorious MSG were never really… how shall I say this… family friend to say the least. Their brand of musical comedy has always been contingent upon outrageous schtick and and general tomfoolery, none of which could be deemed politically correct. Love it or hate it, that’s what makes the MSG, them. Needless to say, it appears that some promoters/organizers for an event in Toronto didn’t quite do their homework and pulled the plug on their 2nd of 2 scheduled appearances after they deemed the 1st too offensive.
Honestly, I think discernment and foresight are two invaluable qualities. If the MSG’s material wasn’t appropriate, so be it… but that should have been determined long before they ever set foot on the stage. Someone dropped the ball here.
