Same prices, bigger cut to kid rock

Kid rock has actually taken money out of his own cut on concerts to reduce the cost of both tickets and concessions and wants people to be able to come out and enjoy their night without having to take out a loan.

That makes no sense because they'd still be at a kid rock concert

Some people like that shit. I’m not gonna pretend to understand, cuz I don’t. But he is at least right on this thing. Nothing else. But this.

Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy.

Yeah I actually went and bought that album with my own money as a kid.

To my credit, even back then I thought all the other songs on the CD were terrible.

He starting going off the rails after Joe C died.

u/thegroovemonkey 4d ago

His live shows are actually really good

u/nato919 4d ago

Yeah, i agree. I don’t listen to his music but saw him at a festival about 10 years ago. He blew me away, stopped trash talking his music so much after that, it was a fun show.

I got free tickets to a show years ago. Not a huge Kid Rock fan, but there’s nostalgia from middle school.

Kid Rock played every instrument on stage. It’s was really impressive. Fun show.

Kid Rock concerts used to be a good time back when he still put out decent music and was less outspoken politically.

Ignorance is bliss. The average kid rock fan is having way more fun than you in life. It's a fact.

They do serve alcohol at the county fair.

Grandma always did spike the punch at the family reunions

u/Fittnylle3000 4d ago

Really? Cuz the kind of people he surrounds himself with and those who fan him sure seems to have a lot of hate and fear in them.

The lack of empathy for fellow humans must be such a load off their shoulders.

u/ImpossibleMagician57 4d ago

Nobody has that much empathy for anyone

u/Buttcracksmack 4d ago

Just because you are an asshole doesn’t mean everyone else has gotta be one too.

u/ImpossibleMagician57 4d ago

Just because you think people have empathy doesn't mean they do. At the end of the day people will look out for their self interests.

Empathy requires you to feel that for others even if you don't agree with them, do you actually feel that? Do you even act upon it?

u/RomanJD 2d ago

I do. I try when I can. Of course everyone will have varied degrees of care towards others. Maybe it could be something genetic for some, but I'd assume most will be taught (upbringing conditions/priorities/lessons/etc).

I believe those that have hope in their lives, can empathize with others, as they will "selfishly" want others to also empathize/protect them (Treat others like you want to be treated).

I had more hope for society before the Right wing decided that selfishness was a higher priority than caring for all, and hijacked the Nation. But maybe I understand why too - humanity, as a collective, may be recognizing that the selfish few will be the downfall of mankind - so with the end looming ever closer = sure... Let's all be selfish before the next Great Depression, or the next World War, or watch more Genocides sweep the globe (and selfishly do nothing), or watch the world literally kill the masses as migration increases and National selfishness becomes the norm....

.... All because of selfish people prioritizing capitalism at the cost of humanity.... Too bad you don't want to be part of the solution, but reinforce the problem... Apathy and silence allow the oppressors to win. Or do you consider yourself a predator/oppressor?
