i expect his concerts were cancelled because the novelty wore off and he's not actually a very good musician.

a few years ago my buddy who is a comedian did an opening spot for Creed Bratton (Creed from the office).

after he did his 10 minutes, CB took the stage and did a little banter and then just did a straight 45 minute acoustic set in complete earnest.

the crowd thinned significantly.

I think there was a similar incident with Steve Martin where he gave an earnest lecture on art history and people walked out because he wasn't telling any jokes.

but with Kaufman the set up was that you were going to see Comedian Andy Kaufman, whereas I believe Steve Martin was saying "I am going to give a lecture on Art History, so don't come to this expecting to see me do my standup"

that's not a correction so much as just letting you know since it's objectively cooler to say "have you seen The Colossus of Lenin?"

constructing the colossus of lenin gets you communism early which can really be a boon for productivity in ancient times but you don't really get the benefit of communal corruption unless you already have a ton of cities

He also brings up the whole "actual, extant trad women are totally uninterested in trad fetishist men" dynamic, almost certainly as a way to humblebrag about his own sexual exploits.
