    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.

      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 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.

            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.

      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.

          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.

          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.
