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

    The only song of his that i ever heard, is a bad cover song. Why is he even famous?

      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.

            No I think he means Werewolves of London by Warron Zevon.

            And calling it a cover is generous. He stole the music but replaced the lyrics with some boomer content.

      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.

    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.

      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.

        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.

            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.

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

                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 ‘you fired’ rich guy. Lots of rappers before Mac made the song also named dropped Trump as well.

            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.

      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.)

        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”

          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.

          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
