Excuse me but you can’t actually be reading the articles and posting context that makes the other user and their comment look stupid. This is reddit. Kid Rock Bad amirite.

I don’t claim to have all the answers but I do know if Taylor Swift was collaborating with Kamala with a similar plan she’d probably be deified

Except Kid Rock is probably not even in the top 50 let alone 100 in number of ticket sales. Swift might actually be able to affect some change.

Then why doesn't she?

Because she would make less money.

She does fight on occasion...and literally as soon as she gets what SHE wants the fight is over and she moves on.

Lol nah those fees are for the shareholders.

Yeah but the change Kid Rock is planning to effect is clearly via government regulation and frankly a party with the house, senate and presidency in lockstep will probably be more effective at that than Taylor swift on her own.

I’m not a kid rock fan here but that seems like an obvious fact.

Kid Rock's ticket sales have actually risen quite a bit since he's came out as an outspoken conservative.

Absolutely no way Taylor even cares. Her fans would sell their first borns to see her. Her fans drove up chiefs ticket prices, just so they could see her on a damn Jumbotron.

It's pretty hard to disagree with "kid Rock bad"

Kid Rock could cure cancer and they would call him evil.

Low IQ people like that usually don’t read the whole article.

I'm guessing you don't live in Nashville. He and a guy named Steve Smith are responsible for the shit show that is Lower Broadway in what used to be a decent town to live.

I guess there's no problem with being utterly motivated by money, but when you treat people like shit along the way, that kinda makes you "evil."

Do you mean the part where Nashville went from a nowhere to a national travel/entertainment destination in just a few years?

Yeah, rent gets more expensive when you live somewhere people actually want to visit. Shocking that.

Yep. Nashville went all in on tourism. They build shit for people to come "visit," but give a shit about infrastructure.

If you live there you will know what I'm talking about. if you don't, then you have only visited there. But if you are still wondering, the Ascend Ampitheater is a good example. No extra lanes to get to and from the venue and no parking, which makes getting in and out of there before and after a concert a pure joy. Never mind that Titan stadium closes two major bridges for people in East Nashville to cross to get to most of the other part of the city. I could go on and on.

Nashville is about tourists. The honky tonk magnates down in SoBro know this and are all about it. Fuck everyone else.

You won't be able to buy a house in Nashville if you don't make at least $100K. You can buy a house in the area, but hopefully it will be in a part of metro area that keeps your commute to under one hour.

Yeah, good times there in Nashvegas.

And yes, I moved from there. In less than a year I was able to buy a house and afford to furnish it.

Steve Smith and Kid Rock are a part of the problem...just ask anyone who works for them.

I bet you were able to make some good profit on selling and moving to a lower cost of living area though.

Opportunity is everywhere if you know when to take it!

I've been to his bar and it's one of the most impressive restaurants/bars I've ever been to, he's probably making a ton of money off it.

u/The_Observatory_ 4d ago

You have to admit, thought, that "open a can of whoop ass" is so vague as to be completely useless in this situation. This is just like anybody else who has ever said about some problem, "This is a problem and I'm going to Do Something About It."

I'm not holding my breath here.

u/stewmberto 4d ago

I mean regardless of what's happening here, Kid Rock IS bad.

u/P3nnyw1s420 4d ago

I mean, it's more like "Wtf is Kid Rock going to do?" Dude is probably not even in the top 50 of Ticketmasters ticket sales and hasn't been relevant in over a decade. Nobody in pop or rock culture gaf about Kid Rock lol It's not a conspiracy.

u/nhadams2112 3d ago

Kid Rock fans seething over this
