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.

Who cares what video format it was on?

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I always think of his Kid N' Play hair when I think of Kid Rock....

Can someone explain why Ludacris would want to do this show?

[-] coalie@piefed.zip 33 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

Big sigh of relief, thought we had another snoop lap dogg.

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

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.

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 1 points 1 month ago

Since I don't know the stance of their survivors I'll abstain from adding the dead to the list.

[-] watson387@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

Oh, sweet Jesus... Not Vanilla Ice!

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 1 points 1 month ago

The film "That's My Boy" is now ruined. And the Ridiculous 6 is on thin ice.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

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

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Sure, but I don’t expect a 19 year old to realize all that. He was never maga and never supported the guy.

[-] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 1 points 1 month ago

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.

Kid Rock is the human form of that amalgamation of nasty grease and juices that collect at the bottom of a neglected trash can

[-] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

Whatever's left in those liquid dump boxes at airports. X_X

[-] ugandan_airways@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

I mean, when you can't use birth control it is not your only hope?

[-] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Ugh his hair looks so stringy and greasy. How is that a look that one strives for.

[-] solrize@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

Article doesn't say what the fuss is about, but there's enough context to make reasonable guesses. Meh.

[-] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

  • Bellville, TX · May 1-2
  • Bloomingdale, GA · May 29-30
  • Sioux Falls, SD · June 27-28
  • Ashland, KY · July 10-11
  • Hastings, MI · August 8-9
  • Ocala, FL · August 28-29
  • Hamburg, NY · September 11-12
[-] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

That looks like a list of major tour stops for sure...

Future Measles outbreak epicenters

[-] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago
[-] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Lol Hastings is a 5 square mile city with a population of 7500

[-] ugandan_airways@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

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

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 1 points 1 month ago

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!

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Maybe he can unload lead into some Bud Light to blow off some steam.

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

The SC meth and confederate flag memorabilia economy is going to take a hit.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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.)
