      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 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.

            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.

    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.

      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 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.

            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

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.

Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.

Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.

If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners.

The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
