return2ozmaKid Rock-Led 'Rock the Country' Festival Canceled in SC After Nearly All Performers Pull Out
vegetaArticle doesn’t say what the fuss is about, but there’s enough context to make reasonable guesses. Meh.
HellsBelleRock 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, TX · May 1-2
- Bloomingdale, GA · May 29-30
- Sioux Falls, SD · June 27-28
- Ashland, KY · July 10-11
- Hastings, MI · August 8-9
- Ocala, FL · August 28-29
- Hamburg, NY · September 11-12
That looks like a list of major tour stops for sure…
vaultdweller013The only one that I’ve ever heard of is Sioux Falls SD if only because it’s a city in South Dakota. They don’t have many cities and even then it’s population density is eclipsed by even your average Idaho city.
Heh ocala is tiny.
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.
Bellville is also the home of Trump Burger:

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.
I completely forgot about that shit.
coalieHe did not, his people said he was put on the list without his knowledge.

Ludacris’ rep claimed it was “a mix-up” that he was ever part of the lineup in the first place.
FiniteBanjoI literally had already put his name on a list so I can keep track of which rappers were MAGA
Nelly
Snoop
Diddy
Kanye
Soulja Boy
Ludacris
Mac Miller <- took it back before he died
Vanilla Ice
NOT_RICKMac was never maga, he came out with the Donald Trump single when he was just the “business” guy on TV; his Obama birther bs coincidentally started nearly concurrently with release of the song. Mac was outspoken calling Trump a douche
Donald Trump has been a horrible piece of shit for over thirty years and his daddy funded the KKK, but regardless Mac took it back.
watson
Rhonda SandtitsYeah, Vanilla Ice is the only surprise in that list.
Wonder what the story is there.
Wonder what the story is there.
RustyShacklefordIf only Kid Rock’s dad would’ve pulled out.
So did his dad
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.
CharlesDarwinI always think of his Kid N’ Play hair when I think of Kid Rock…
Kid Rock is the human form of that amalgamation of nasty grease and juices that collect at the bottom of a neglected trash can
Man that’s brutal
Sudafed pe is the fake one that doesn’t contain any pseudoephedrine
Gonna need to see your playlist now haha
Also that fake shit was proven to not even work as a decongestant
Kid Rock is what happens when your dad owns a bunch of car dealerships and you’re raised on an estate with an orchard but want to cosplay being a poor white kid.
I’m not even joking.
It’s like the Duck Dynasty grift.
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.
He did the duet with sheryl crow too.
Did Pamela Anderson just make sex tapes with every Rockstar wannabe in those times? Because I definitely remember the one with Tommy Lee.
gidI don’t think there was a Kid Rock/Pamela Anderson sex tape.
And the Tommy Lee sex tape was stolen and leaked without either Pamela or Tommy’s permission. When Pamela tried to sue the distributor the judge basically said “Well you posed topless for Playboy before, so this sex tape is hardly going to further damage your career”. Massively misogynistic and it really messed her life up.
Oh, right. That was Tommy Lee, I guess. For some reason I thought they both had sex tapes with her.
Maybe he can unload lead into some Bud Light to blow off some steam.
Anyone know what the ticket sales are like on this event? I wonder if the are trying to make up a story to distract from abysmal ticket sales
