Diceman May Not Cometh: City officials can’t stop comedian Andrew Dice Clay from performing in Portland, Ore., so they are trying to cancel his audience. The city council released a letter this week urging residents to return their tickets to Clay’s show tonight. Clay is barred for life from MTV for obscenities uttered at the 1989 video awards ceremony and he has come under fire because his raucous act uses women, minorities, homosexuals and the handicapped as the butt of jokes. “We must raise our voices in protest against ‘entertainment’ that perpetrates negative attitudes and stereotypes,” the council’s letter said. “We urge Portlanders not to go to the concert.”
