    When I get offstage I never see the audience again

Much the same with most public interactions.

    also I don't typically run the risk of being detained by police if I'm misinterpreted.

Well, we all have our styles. I think you get what I was saying, but for others reading through, I really believe that public interactions are a lot more open to personal influence than people might think. I learned early on that if you can make a scene and get a crowd laughing, then you have a lot of power over perception. Like, scarily so. You can be the rudest motherfucker on the block, but people will let you get away with all kinds of outlandish shit if you can make them laugh or otherwise connect with them emotionally. Part of being a man means learning how to say, "hey, that's not what I meant and you know that, so stop being a cunt about it . . . sir/ma'am."
