Question
[edit]It is listed that Mickey has a daughter. Is this the little girl in the 'Mr. Right' video he drives to school? Just curious... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Limonns (talk • contribs) 02:32, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
"He is also a Yahoud." - isn't this an inappropriate remark? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.171.191.60 (talk) 03:41, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Shouldn't "My Dick" be cited as a Dyslexic Speedreaders track and not Avalon? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessejb (talk • contribs) 03:23, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think so. The song was released on Mickey Avalon's self titled album... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.245.36.36 (talk) 23:31, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Alleged Homosexuality
[edit]I'm not a huge Mickey Avalon fan or anything -- I liked that one song off of Harold and Kumar, so I checked this page out. My understanding is that he dresses and acts atypically, and has some suggestive lyrics (see "Dipped in Vaseline") ... but that doesn't necessarily mean he's gay. Especially since it's a living person, there shouldn't be anything on here that isn't 100% sourced and verified. 214.13.24.91 (talk) 04:42, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
He's a former street hustler from hollywood (a gay male prostitute if you don't kno). Most of his lyrics are about that (like the song Waiting to Die). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.155.173.166 (talk) 06:30, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Incorrect. He was not a GAY prostitute, but a bisexual one. He even mentioned in interviews that he was never...um... sodomized, but instead would rob the people who asked to do that to him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Limonns (talk • contribs) 04:31, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Orthodox Jew
[edit]It reads, "Before a rapper, he was drug dealer, then a heroin addicted male prostitute, then an Orthodox Jew." Does this mean he's no longer jewish? Did he stop when he became a rapper? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.175.211.45 (talk) 07:57, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Controversy in Oklahoma City.
[edit]What sources are quoted in the main article, Controversy in Oklahoma City? The comment in question is,"Avalon was booed off the stage while opening for the Red Hot Chili Peppers at a March 2007 concert in Oklahoma City. During his set, Avalon threw his microphone at the audience in frustration, and walked off stage angrily."
I attempted an edit and was not allowed citing lack of source. I purchased 23 front row floor tickets for this concert which was held on March 12, 2007. Gnarls Barkley was the scheduled lead in band but had to cancel for whatever reason. Avalon was a late stand in. Most the fans in my group, including me, had never heard of Avalon. Many of the fans there including myself were and are fans of bands such as Wu Tang Clan. It isn't about not liking rap, etc. The concert was originally scheduled on January 12, 2007. It was cancelled due to an ice storm and rescheduled for March 12, 2007. The fans were expecting Gnarls Barkley and got Avalon instead. Some people booed but many more did not. Nobody in my group near the front booed Avalon. Avalon finally said, "I tried" and then left the stage. He didn't seem angry.
John Frusciante spoke to the fans near the end of the concert. Among other things he said everyone there that night in five years would be bragging they had seen Mickey Avalon in concert. After and absolute perfect show, the Chili Peppers left the stage and did not appear for an encore. As a member of the Chili Peppers fan club, I read a letter posted on the Chili Peppers website the next day written by Frusciante. After spending $10,000 purchasing 23 front row tickets, I personally felt insulted by the treatment Frusciante gave his fans. There were far more who didn't boo than those who did. But, after traveling to the show in January through an ice storm only to find out the show was postponed and then showing up again in March, it was a let down to not get and encore from one of the greatest bands in the world. My edits were not allowed. But to set the record straight, Avalon did not angrily walk off the stage. After the concert, at the Marriot Hotel next door, Avalon had drinks with fans, including myself. He made the comment that he wasn't upset and he understood the fans were expecting Gnarls Barkley. Daqcraig (talk) 03:45, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
While that may be, it is all is original research which is not allowed by Wikipedia. Your personal experiences are not encyclopedic and I'm not sure being booed off stage is either controversial or relevant. Lemonjuice1020 (talk) 02:33, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
