Oh, he did and it was just as awful ... if not more.

I bust on Perry about as much as anyone here....but this is just absolutely sad, makes you feel bad for him. How could he put himself in a position to get anywhere close to a mic?
In all honesty, I was just goofing around. I'm certainly not going to rip on the guy for an an unscheduled, unpaid performance. But I will say this ... I thought about something for a long time. He said he was screaming and yelling for the White Sox and used that as one of the reasons that he sounded so awful, but I'm not buying it. That's just not him or his personality. I bet he sat there and watched the games rather quietly. The guy had been a fan of the team for, what ... a few fucking weeks?
And, sadly, I bet that's about what he would sound like, screaming all weekend or not. I also noticed that throughout that series and whenever he was interviewed, and even today, he can't pull that ball cap down far enough. It's almost like he's trying to hide. I think the dude has some major issues going on. But, in the end, I still give him major props for standing up there and singing. Or trying to.
