Also doesn't help that they apparently gave a bunch of half-truths to every other artist on the card (like Shinedown), and potentially just added some names they thought they could dial last-minute (Ludacris).
I hear snoop might take them up on the offer if they paid him well, he went maga. Dre too someone said but idk, don't know and don't care all that much I'm not much into the raps anymore. I do like ludicrous still though. Word of Mouf was great.
That's "Rock the Country," aka "MAGA Fest." It was a different show held in South Carolina, where all the other artists started dropping out when they realized it was promoting MAGA.
Kid Rock was headlining that show, but it's separate from Turning Point USA's halftime show starring Kid Rock. As far as I know, that one is still happening.
No, there are probably about 5-10M fans out there. I have a coworker who loves him.
Nobody with an IQ above 90 likes Kid Rock. Nobody with any actual musical taste likes Kid Rock. Nobody worth having a conversation with likes Kid Rock.
Every Super Bowl there is a competing halftime show from other channels or websites. This year we have right wing lunatics acting like they’re the first and only ones to do so. Maybe year they’re do a puppy killing bowl to rival the regular one since we all know how much they love doing that.
There’s 300 million+ people in the US. While Football is extremely popular, and having a Super Bowl watching party is almost a holiday style event, not every one appreciates the sport.
As the day became more holiday like, they added a show at half-time which usually is a mega-music production in and of itself that many people want to watch.
Capitalism being capitalism, commercial spots during that time are expensive and in high demand, so companies started making hilarious commercials because of the extreme amount of viewers during that time. What this ends up being is kind of a day that has something for everyone, music, sports, comedy, companionship etc.
It’s weird if you just look at from top down view but in context and with a little history it’s actually a pretty nice not holiday
i dont even think kid rock bothered to write any new songs he's just playing the "hits" from his 26 year old album and he doesn't even have twisted brown trucker anymore
I mean we can be sure the Super Bowl staff are very good at choosing people that are culturally relevant and will make people spend on ads. Not into Bad Bunny myself, although not really tried yet, but I believe he’s massive.
They said the same last year about Kendrick Lamar, someone I do love, and it was a great show.
I mean, the original's not great either, it's a bunch of guys wrapped in Confederate flags singing about how Watergate wasn't even a big deal actually, and guys who criticize racism like Neil Young should just shut up
These people are so used to talking in their echo chamber and responding to things they lied about us saying that we are lost if we just wander into their posts.
They are freaking out because kid rock. What? Nobody gives a shit about kid rock, how old is that asshole now? Him and ted nugent can front a half time show about fucking children all they want, no one in reality cares.
And no one cares about the half time show, tv executives don't particularly care either, it's a bit piece, something for the people that don't watch football normally. None of the fans give a shit about the half time show particularly.
He is still out there. In fact someone just dumped like a hundred murdered goats on state land near where he is one of the biggest landlords. Naturally I thought of him, made a joke about it, the conservatives all took it as a real accusation and freaked out demanding evidence to the point where I'm now convinced it actually was him and his people, and their whack em and stack em canned hunts.
They raise animals in captivity and put them in a fenced in area so they can blow them all away en masse with assault rifles. Because killing things is fun, none of the pesky sportsmanship or tracking to get in the way of the sheer joy of slaughtering captive animals, apparently.
I mean, I won’t watch this trash, and I really do hope it flops, but I feel like the caviler dismissal of the possibility of it going well is exactly how Trump won when he has.
There’s a lot of idiots out there, and everyone sits in their bubble, smuggly talking about how these people don’t exist, and then get really fucking surprised when they turn out in droves.
Ted nugent might not be in the epstein files either, but to be fair he was fucking children before it was popular, a real trend setting in that regard. (One of his hit songs is about banging a 13 year old or something the sick fuck.)
Ya, I already only sorta liked watching pro sports. Betting and the incessant babbling by the commentators about it have ruined it. I used to enjoy listening to the twins games on the radio, but no more.
Lmfao.
Also doesn't help that they apparently gave a bunch of half-truths to every other artist on the card (like Shinedown), and potentially just added some names they thought they could dial last-minute (Ludacris).
In what world would Luda be at that shit show?
Please don’t tell me I missed him turning red hat.
Both dropped out.
Luda said it was a mixup and never intended to play
Shinedown was worried it'll cost them fans
Different show. I assume the “Rock the Country” thing happened because of bad press related to the Super Bowl stunt.
I hear snoop might take them up on the offer if they paid him well, he went maga. Dre too someone said but idk, don't know and don't care all that much I'm not much into the raps anymore. I do like ludicrous still though. Word of Mouf was great.
Indeed, why.......kid rock.........why
They would be so much better.
Kid Rock is music for dudes who can only see their kids on the weekend, but don't.
Kid Rock makes music for people who know what the age of consent laws are for every state in the country.
Kid Rock makes music for guys who jack off to the memory of that time they saw their sister's nipple.
Kid rock makes music for people who’s teeth (or tooth) count matches or exceeds their iq.
Kid Rock makes music for guys who know the age of consent laws for each country
… and still end up buying more than that
This comment is a goddamn masterpiece
Kid Rock is the guy you call when everyone else said no and you can only pay in Bush Light.
Who is Nick Adams and was he born stupid or does he have to keep in practice?
Conservative commentator, sounds like he gets lots of practice.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Adams_(commentator)?wprov=sfti1
Ah, professionally stupid and racist. Salary must be nice
I have always seen him as an absolute unapologetic grifter in it for the love of the game.
Im still not convinced that he isn't just the most committed-to-the-bit satire account on the internet.
All his tweets are written by AI
They can’t always have been though. I’ve been aware of him since the pandemic. I thought it was satire until recently.
I had hoped he was the current version of Ken M.
Turns out he's just another "alpha" MAGAss.
You mean the Kid Rock show that they just cancelled?
Yeah.
That's "Rock the Country," aka "MAGA Fest." It was a different show held in South Carolina, where all the other artists started dropping out when they realized it was promoting MAGA.
Kid Rock was headlining that show, but it's separate from Turning Point USA's halftime show starring Kid Rock. As far as I know, that one is still happening.
And it was one show, not the tour.
That’s probably why he said “show” when posing the question, no?
Which tour?
The devil has a cause now, it's fixing elections, not going platinum though it's a piece of shit.
Nobody likes Kid Rock.
No, there are probably about 5-10M fans out there. I have a coworker who loves him.
Nobody with an IQ above 90 likes Kid Rock. Nobody with any actual musical taste likes Kid Rock. Nobody worth having a conversation with likes Kid Rock.
Conservatives are very protective of their rock stars too. You should see them act like the fairy godfathers for ted nugent too, it's pathetic.
So absolutely nothing has changed since the 90s :D
Can we not post this ragebait shit here?
Some maga chud said something idiotic now let's all fume about it has 0 worth.
It's know it's shitpost but it doesn't have to be this bullshit.
That's what gets upvotes on Lemmy, sadly.
This is how Voat (another Reddit clone) died. Political shitposts and clickbait tabloids crowded out every niche, so all the interesting content left.
As it turns out, doomscrolling twitter troll reposts with the same few comments in each one is quite depressing.
I don't know a good solution, either. Clickbait works. Maybe some structural changes could help, though?
What ever happened to the corn? I'm a very political person, but can we keep it out of shitposting?
I just want one community where it isn't infected with it.
That is all this user posts if you want to block them to help your feed
2/10 shitpost bro. try harder.

why is the halftime show the most watched part of your grand final?
Because the sport part is boring as shit.
Some people watch just for the commercials. And every year, they say "meh, they used to be better."
You can just wait a day and watch a top ten Superbowl commercials 2026 YouTube video while eating wings.
when i was like 14, i found that kind of fun.
the idea of willingly watching advertisements now nauseates me to my core.
you are a strange country

Sorry we send all the bad matchups to Europe every year. If that was my primary way to watch American Football I would think the sport sucked too.
So it isnt usually 20 seconds of play followed by ten minutes of elderly men with clipboards shouting at each other?
Hey, ummm, isn't Football Manager like the top selling game there? The virtual clipboard one.
i dont even think kid rock bothered to write any new songs he's just playing the "hits" from his 26 year old album and he doesn't even have twisted brown trucker anymore
Is that the little person that sang with him?
joe c was in twisted brown trucker; twisted brown trucker was the backing band. i sadly liked kid rock back in 2000 >_>
Nah dont be revisionist, Bawitaba was a hell of a jam when it came out, pretty much that whole album went hard.
I'll listen to it still, but only through a medium where he doesnt get paid royalties because NOW he is a piece of shit.
it's it illegal to say I hope someone hacks the show and makes them watch the bad bunny stream instead?
Or we could get a man in a Max Headroom mask instead.
C'mon, it's the superbowl. We should get Max Headroom himself.
This seemed almost plausible right up until the "Kid Rock."
I mean we can be sure the Super Bowl staff are very good at choosing people that are culturally relevant and will make people spend on ads. Not into Bad Bunny myself, although not really tried yet, but I believe he’s massive.
They said the same last year about Kendrick Lamar, someone I do love, and it was a great show.
Fuck you Kid Rock you waste of skin
I mean, the original's not great either, it's a bunch of guys wrapped in Confederate flags singing about how Watergate wasn't even a big deal actually, and guys who criticize racism like Neil Young should just shut up

Kid Rock is this generation's Ted Nugent
So nearly the same generation almost
They're 22 years apart, literally different generations. Nugent is a boomer and Rock is GenX.
Actually, yeah you're right. Those are nearly the same generation almost in practice.
Hey now, don’t lump us in with the fucknut boomers
Yeah that's what I meant. I'm GenX, they both exist in the same part of my brain

Isn't he just doing a bit? It's bad satire but I think it's still satire.

Kid who?
One of the few kids associated with the republicans who’s (probably) not in the Epstein files.
Ted nugent might not be in the epstein files either, but to be fair he was fucking children before it was popular, a real trend setting in that regard. (One of his hit songs is about banging a 13 year old or something the sick fuck.)
They’re worried people are going to watch the methtime show instead? Lol
Wait who the fuck is Jan
Super bowl outcome will be decided before the players take the field. Sports betting has ruined any professional sports.
Sports betting founded professional sports.
That may be, but the concept of sportsmanship has left the building.
Ya, I already only sorta liked watching pro sports. Betting and the incessant babbling by the commentators about it have ruined it. I used to enjoy listening to the twins games on the radio, but no more.
Joke's on them, I don't like either of them, or sportsball.
