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.

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?
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 months 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.

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.

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

No, that was Freddie Deftones.

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.

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.
jj4211@lemmy.world 4 months ago
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.
