  Kid rock: gone and forgotten

    Pretty much all of the NAGA celebs are “people who you hadn’t thought about for least 20 years who are bitter no one cares about them anymore”

      I forget, did Hulk Hogan die? I can’t be assed to look it up.

        Like I’m going to look it up. Feel like he went MAGAing recently and I haven’t heard he died, so I’m guessing he is still kicking.

        What would shock me is if someone pointed out a MAGA celebrity that has actually been relevent in the last 20 years, other than as a MAGA personality. Only one I can think of is Kanye West, but he clearly went deep off the end of crazy very publicly.

  I honestly can’t remember the one song he’s semi famous for…

    Even on his highest high, it took me some time to figure out that kid rock is a musician and not just some other sub genre.

    Didn’t he do it all for the nookie or something?

      No, that was Freddie Deftones.

    I remember Cowboy from Shangai Noon.

      I think the only reason I bought the CD was the line: ‘Paint the town red and paint the sheriff’s wife white’ which vibed with my teenaged wannabe anarchist pubes.

      I regret what I was, but I have grown. Kid Rock hasn’t.

    He did a half decent cover of sweet home alabama? I think?

    source

    • BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      No, he took the great song Sweet Home Alabama, stole a hook from it, and used it to create a new, awful song. It’s the MAGA way, steal something good, and replace it with an inferior version of it.

      source

      • RhondaSandTits@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        The music sampled Warewolves of London by Warren Zevon but the lyrics referenced Sweet Home Alabama.

        It was fucking cringe, basically the country music equivalent of a Will Smith song.

      His buddy Uncle Cracker did a popular cover as well. Makes me physically I’ll when it pops up at work.

  Bawitaba was big on the radio back in the 90s when I was a dumb kid.

  We liked it because it had an anti authoritarian sound on some tracks:

  ‘Paint the town red, and paint the sheriff’s wife white’.

  That got a giggle from us.

  The tracks in between were lack luster, even alt-country.

  The next album was a no-buy.

    He had a bit role in Joe Dirt as well, that my friend group was super in to the year it released for some reason. We weren’t even southern or country, I think we just liked mocking the aforementioned designations.

  I am serious!

  I know the name kid rock. I don’t know a single song of his, like I don’t know that it is his at least. And while I have seen his face recently, I couldn’t tell you who that people in the meme was without the label.

  I seriously don’t know that guy at all. I am not denying his legend title to be mean or rude to him. I just think I would know a music legend.
