Doobie Doo
Veteran
PM was in Durham tonight so I went out to see him. I never seen Paul live and I figured with him being sick this could be my last time see him 
.
I knew his last couple performances I've seen on Youtube weren't too good so I went in with very low expectations. His warm up comedian was funny and at the end of his set he gives Paul the five minute introduction naming everything Paul worked on. Then the curtain closes for a couple minutes and it rises again and Paul is sitting in a white recliner with a mic in one hand and a cane in the other. I'm glad my expectations were low I prevented myself from failure.
Paul's funniest material were some of the jokes he performed from previous sets but most of his performance were just these random ramblings with long pauses of awkward silence (up to 10 seconds) between thoughts. Plus he kept using all these 50 and 60 year old pop culture references.."I saw this white girl yesterday with great big ol' tittes. She looked like Mae West." Old people were like
while young people were like 
. Then he was just forgetting names of the people he was talking about "She remind me of that ol black sister from back in the day, what was her name? Ol' beautiful sister...uh,....uh...(starts snapping his fingers)...gorgeous sister....uh...uh." I'm thinking this is going to be vintage Mooney where he says a funny name or punchline or something but this nikka was just pointing at random audience members talking to them "C'mon now, you know the sister's name I'm talki8ng about, don't act like you dont know." 
This went on multiple times for like 3 minutes a piece
After about 60 minutes of ranting his intro/outro music (the theme from shaft) slowly starts to creep in during one of his rants then he stares behind the curtain and says "Well what do you want me to do?" He shrugs his shoulders
and drops the mic as the Intro rises full blast and he tries to stand up out his chair while his two openers run out on stage and grab him by each arm and pull him out the chair and drag him like some old nikka scarecrow off stage then one comes back and grabs the mic "Paul will be in the lobby signing your autographs and taking photos, thank you." Then everybody claps, I walk to the lobby he's sitting there signing autographs being propped up in the chair by his handlers.
I was disappointed, but I didn't expect much. I was shocked he didn't say anything about Ferguson or any current events except Joan Rivers "I bet that ol white bytch will die before I get off stage."
I know he's dying, which was the motivating factor in me seeing him but I hope hes choosing to continue stand up on his own free will and not for money or someone forcing him to do because this is a travesty and not a fitting way for a legend to go out as
