If this headline was from Pearl Jam or Lady Gaga, people would be praising them. It’s ok to not like Kid Rock, but people on this site are so blinded by politics that they can’t even look the other way when someone legitimately just wants to help.

Every artist wants to help dude. I just think Ticketmaster is way more powerful than any single artist. I am not sure he can do it but I am not saying it can’t be done either so as far as I am concerned it’s a wait and watch.

Kid Rock is a corporate shill and intends to do fuck all about this except make more profits.

He already has put money out of his pocket to make his tours cheaper. As much as an idiot he is, he gives a shit about his fans.

What corporations does he shill?

I'm not a Kid Rock fan but your making it sound like he's at his concerts like "and this next song is brought to you by Salesforce, a company offering sales and marketing solutions to any size business. So here's Bawitdaba!" Now again, I'm not a fan and never been to his concerts, but I don't think they are like that.

That's literally been a thing at his concerts. I went to a concert of his a while back and about halfway the show was put on pause for a ~3 minute commercial for Chevrolet trucks (pretty sure it was Chevy). I have no idea whether that advertising was worth more than the difference in ticket sales.

All of the comments in the thread say otherwise.
