If only Kid Rock’s dad would’ve pulled out.
Came here for this. XD
So did his dad
My favorite Kid Cock moment was when the video of him shooting a case of Bud Light with an AR was immediately followed by a video of him drinking a Bud Light at his club a week later. Fucking rage bait sissy cowboy wannabe.
It was an mp5. Just fyi.
Edit for clarity: guy is still a complete tool despite having good taste in guns.
Who cares what video format it was on?
How have I never made that connection before‽
Because it's the successor to the mp4!
I legit lost track after mp3.
Jeebus fuck.(Very funny tho)
I'm so old I remember MPEG-2.
(MP3 is actually used for audio in the MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 standards.)
(As for current codecs, basically Opus is all you need. It's especially fit for voice, like in podcasts and audiobooks, which it can encode pretty well with a very low bitrate.)
MPEG or bust.
I always think of his Kid N' Play hair when I think of Kid Rock....
He's always been full of shit and a cokehead
Let's not get all of the Kid Rock fans excited.
Kid Rock is the human form of that amalgamation of nasty grease and juices that collect at the bottom of a neglected trash can
Kid Rock is what happens when your dad owns a bunch of car dealerships and you're raised on an estate with an orchard but want to cosplay being a poor white kid.
I'm not even joking.
In that privileged and sheltered context gotta imagine the sewage of rhetoric that indoctrinated him as a child was constant. Racism is inherited.
It's like the Duck Dynasty grift.
B-b-b-but... he's a cowboy... baby?
He's just a low-talent, modern-day Alice Cooper, but with even fewer morals. He figured out what sells and sold it. He's a musical car salesman.
Did Alice Cooper do something that I'm unaware of? My impression was that he's much, much less terrible than Kid Rock.
He's not awful, but his entire schtick is 100% manufactured and not indicative of who he is whatsoever, much like Kid Rock.
Whatever's left in those liquid dump boxes at airports. X_X
I can smell this image.
I am so sorry 😞 lol. XD
🤮
Or diarrhea
Man that’s brutal
Sudafed pe is the fake one that doesn't contain any pseudoephedrine
Gonna need to see your playlist now haha
Also that fake shit was proven to not even work as a decongestant
Too nice, IMO.
Can someone explain why Ludacris would want to do this show?
He did not, his people said he was put on the list without his knowledge.

Too late
What? Nah, His edit is 11 minutes after I said it.
Meaning "I'm not thinking about her"
Good catch, I'll add it to the list
Is there any comprehensive list like this for all boycotts? All art, brands, etc.
Was reading the 3 Doors Down singer who just died was also a Trumper.
Since I don't know the stance of their survivors I'll abstain from adding the dead to the list.
What do you mean by this? I think it's worth reminding the living that their reputation could irreversibly be tarnished for eternity if they don't wake up while living.
Fair enough, added.
Oh, sweet Jesus... Not Vanilla Ice!
The film "That's My Boy" is now ruined. And the Ridiculous 6 is on thin ice.
Yeah, Vanilla Ice is the only surprise in that list.
Wonder what the story is there.
He performed at the New Years Eve party for Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, etc. It went viral when people shared cringe videos of them dancing to "Ice Ice Baby".
Mac was never maga, he came out with the Donald Trump single when he was just the “business” guy on TV; his Obama birther bs coincidentally started nearly concurrently with release of the song. Mac was outspoken calling Trump a douche
Donald Trump has been a horrible piece of shit for over thirty years and his daddy funded the KKK, but regardless Mac took it back.
Mac probably wasn’t aware of all this at the time he made it when he was a teenager. Most people back then just saw Trump as the tv show businessman ‘your fired’ rich guy. Lots of rappers before Mac made songs that also named dropped Trump as well.
Sure, but I don’t expect a 19 year old to realize all that. He was never maga and never supported the guy.
I thought Snoop Dogg just played for him because of the pardon. But he was never actually maga.
I think on a moral level that Trump is not fundamentally different from Hitler, and I also think Diddy had the same reasons for supporting Trump, so I'm going to go ahead and keep him on the list.
Ugh his hair looks so stringy and greasy. How is that a look that one strives for.
Maybe he can unload lead into some Bud Light to blow off some steam.
Well that is what Bud Lite was made for. Its certainly not fit for human consumption.
It's one of the few beers I consider utterly not drinkable
It's the beer I drank before I learned to like beer
I mean, when you can't use birth control it is not your only hope?
The SC meth and confederate flag memorabilia economy is going to take a hit.
The only song of his that i ever heard, is a bad cover song. Why is he even famous?
In 1998, he released a Rap-Rock album with metal and southern rock influences called Devil Without a Cause that was widely considered an exemplar of rap-rock and played heavily into his then Redneck Pimp stage persona. It was critically acclaimed with most professional reviewers giving 4/5 stars or 80/100 and better scores while selling ultimately over 11 million copies. And it had some legit bangers (even if they're hard to listen to now with what a shit bag he's either become or revealed himself to be).
Later he transitioned away from rap-rock toward country, Southern rock, and blues while adopting shitty conservative politics to go with his new stage persona. This is what most people know him for now.
Bawitiba is a cover?
No, the Sweet Home Alabama one. I don't know the one you are talking about.
Ahh, the one I mentioned is the only one I remember hearing on the radio. Had no clue he covered Sweet Home Alabama.
No I think he means Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon.
And calling it a cover is generous. He stole the music but replaced the lyrics with some boomer content.
Yes thank you.Heard it long time ago I thought it was just Sweet Home Alabama with some lame ass lyrics, but he knocked off music from Warren Zevon. Either way wasn't written by Kid Rock.
Not a cover but a riff of Rapper's Delight.
I heard his album on repeat for one day while cruising with this kid that almost killed us driving like an asshole bottoming out the speedometer and blowing through a few country stop signs for good measure.
It's ok, it's nothing great, now that we know he's a piece of shit it falls even flatter though, he's a devil with a cause now, helping to fix elections to put the worst people in the world in permanent control.
He was a huge one-hit wonder (?) as far as I knew who later made a sex tape with Pam Anderson. I would think a few Gen X and Gen Y might remember that. Oh, and he had appearances in shows like Simpsons and cameos in movies. The only movie I sort of remember him in is Joe Dirt.
I doubt many boomers or Gen Z/alpha know him for anything other than getting butthurt about Bud Light.
Did Pamela Anderson just make sex tapes with every Rockstar wannabe in those times? Because I definitely remember the one with Tommy Lee.
I don't think there was a Kid Rock/Pamela Anderson sex tape.
And the Tommy Lee sex tape was stolen and leaked without either Pamela or Tommy's permission. When Pamela tried to sue the distributor the judge basically said "Well you posed topless for Playboy before, so this sex tape is hardly going to further damage your career". Massively misogynistic and it really messed her life up.
Oh, right. That was Tommy Lee, I guess. For some reason I thought they both had sex tapes with her.
He did the duet with sheryl crow too.
I was flabbergasted as to why Sheryl Crow would want to perform with Kid Rock, then I realized I have no clue about her music, despite having lived through the nineties. I just vaguely know her name and that she's supposedly a bit of an actress too.
His father should have pulled out.
Article doesn't say what the fuss is about, but there's enough context to make reasonable guesses. Meh.

And fyi it's only the Anderson, South Carolina stop that's been cancelled. It's still hitting 7 other towns/cities.
Future Measles outbreak epicenters
That looks like a list of major tour stops for sure...
The only one that I've ever heard of is Sioux Falls SD if only because it's a city in South Dakota. They don't have many cities and even then it's population density is eclipsed by even your average Idaho city.
Heh ocala is tiny.
Bellville is an hour west of Houston in a town of 5000. Houston has several very large venues that could host festivals. Either it was so poorly planned that they didn't get any of them on time, the attendance is expected to be so low that the venues wouldn't deal with them, or they're trying to stay out of the mainstream spotlight because they're embarrassed about something.
It's still close enough that people from Houston, especially on the west side, could easily go, but there's got to be a reason they went an hour west instead of up in The Woodlands at Cynthia Woods or right in the middle of everything at Toyota or even a smaller place like White Oak Music Hall.
Bellville is also the home of Trump Burger:

As a native Houstonian, it pleases me to see that the Houston Trump Burger was forced to close... after the owner was deported by ICE.

I completely forgot about that shit.
Live in Houston, and sometimes do several weeks of work in Brenham. Absolute eyesore on that drive.
Ocalas grown a good bit lately. It was blowing up locally pre-covid and was one of the cities that saw a lot of transplants when people started flooding the state in the last few years. The city proper only has ~75k people in it but Marion county has ~400k and a large chunk of that remaining population is likely within 30 minutes of the city
Bellville, Tx? That place is super small. If 1k people attended it would increase the population by 25%.
But not surprised, this is the place that gave us “Trump burger”
Lol Hastings is a 5 square mile city with a population of 7500
Anyone know what the ticket sales are like on this event? I wonder if the are trying to make up a story to distract from abysmal ticket sales
Possibly playing the victim? Those dastardly bands with morals don't want to play for real Americans. When likely they just don't want to be associated kid rock and racism. Artists will generally play for anyone if they get paid!
Does anyone know what the viewership numbers for the All Racist Halftime Show were compared to the official one? (Amazing performance by Bad Bunny, BTW. The choreography and props were so good it looked like a music video.)
Joke's on so if them, IDGAF about sportsball or its intermission.
If only someone had “pulled out” all those years ago …
