Kid Rock? Really?!!

[kentuck]

This is who they put up to compete with Bad Bunny's halftime show? A washed-up country singer who was never a country singer. He was never good enough to be a rock and roll singer. And the country music crowd never really accepted him. The only folks who gave a crap about him was the MAGA crowd. And they only accepted him because he had the Donald Trump stamp of approval.

And anyone is surprised that he bombed with his counter Super Bowl halftime show? What did they expect? The Super Bowl halftime show is a part of American culture. As much as they may desire, they cannot put out Kid Rock and expect it to disappear.

It truly shows how out of touch they are with reality.

Alternate name for Epstein Island

2. I completely agree.

They do have a few in their MAGA-star broom closet. There's a couple actual country stars, a few actors, and of course Charlie Kirk's widow.
Along with some rich people and celebrities they can really make a side show at the circus, but mainstream America still holds the big tent.
So lucky for them they don't mind using the gay anthem YMCA, or the one hit wonder Ice, Ice, Baby.

3. Kid Rock is only relevant now because he mooches off Trump's popularity.

Guarantee that when Trump goes, his moochers will have to get real jobs.

4. I don't get why they even tried this "alternative" half time show

Its "bush league" at best; ridiculously childish.

And Kid Rock is the poster child of a "has been" washed-up artist who's appeal is even more limited than Bad Bunny. He's one of the more vulgar acts with constant references to drugs and sex in his songs(even has a silly, vulgar rap about a fictitious encounter with Bill Clinton on a jet flight). Its hilarious now that Repubs are complaining about the SB show.

I'll admit, I was just out of college when Kid Rock's first album came out and I liked his stuff early on. I still like the song with Sheryl Crow today, but most of the rest doesn't hold up after 25 years.

10. To raise whatever money they could off of it

As for his ONE semi-popular song that ever got any airplay,
it always annoyed the hell out of me!

5. ...not to mention that he has lyrics about pedophilia and statutory rape:

6. They have literally no one else.

Trump's alienated all the good performers, musicians and entertainers, so they have to resort to scraping the bottom of the barrel, which is totally on brand for them.

7. I guess they couldn't...

Get wangotangoman, another pedophile, probably because he's not able to function at his age anymore.

And where is THAT fucking slimeball?

Is HE dead yet? 'Cause he's not in jail.

8. The Puppy Bowl hosted by Kristi Gnome had better ratings.

9. It was really sad

Not a professional performance at all. Something that should be relegated to a pig picking in the deep south. It was cringe and bad. Bad Bunny, who isn't even anyone I listen to, kinda dominated the performance and was competent and capable in his craft while Vanilli Hillbilly ended up sucking shit. But at least Laura Ingarahm had him on to explain away that "his DJ" was off or some shit. She never asked, "you stupid mother fucker you lip synched did you not?" No that boring hack said, "things were out of whack during that song". LMMFAO. Idiots.
