If only Kid Rock’s dad would’ve pulled out.

    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.

    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.)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Ludacris' rep claimed it was "a mix-up" that he was ever part of the lineup in the first place.

    I literally had already put his name on a list so I can keep track of which rappers were MAGA

    Nelly
    Snoop
    Diddy
    Kanye
    Soulja Boy
    Ludacris
    Mac Miller <- took it back before he died
    Vanilla Ice
    Nicki Minaj
    Brad Arnold (3 doors down)

    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.

    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.

    I thought Snoop Dogg just played for him because of the pardon. But he was never actually maga.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Rock the Country has sparked backlash after social media users presumed that the festival is affiliated with the “Make America Great Again” conservative movement fueled by President Donald Trump. (Concert organizers have not publicly addressed its political affiliations.)

    And fyi it's only the Anderson, South Carolina stop that's been cancelled. It's still hitting 7 other towns/cities.

    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 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.

    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.)
