    Had season tickets to our local amphitheater last summer and Kid Rock was one of the shows. I went and was not surprised how many folks had LETS GO BRANDON t-shirts as well as ones that said what was actually being said when the LETS GO BRANDON phase was coined.

    Lots of kids walking around and grown adults wearing shirts saying blank Biden. I can't believe how low class the MAGA crowd is.

    :DSo, you were triggered by Kid Rock being triggered by AnnBusch …. and thought it warranted a topic on Too Woke For Swamp Gas …… hoping the thread and resulting bashing of republicans would trigger some Trump supporters or Kid Rock fans?? :monkey:

    I am not real sure how one figures shooting up beer cans with an automatic weapon makes you a snowflake but if that is the way you honestly feel you are welcome to feelings.

    Fox News and other media ran stories on it, and I am a bit perplexed and curious if he's actually that enraged, particularly given his history of sex, drugs, and rock & roll, his mockery of others for being snowflakey, and what I thought were libertarian leanings on his part. For what it's worth, I actually like some of his songs (Kid Rock's - not Trump's prison choir). There are smart and cool Republicans on here, and we have interesting discussions. If you felt my post was a personal attack on you or MAGA members, generally, I sincerely apologize.

    I didn’t take your post as an attack on Republicans but I believed it would generate responses from the 1-trick ponies that regularly attack republicans, conservatives, and conservative values regardless of the subject matter.

    AFA Rock is concerned, I would guess any act by him is just that ….. as he sees himself as an entertainer and likely embraces the argument that any publicity is good publicity.

    Can one of the gun . . . errr . . . enthusiasts tell us if that is a fully auto weapon that he's shooting? If yes, since when are they legal?

    And to Kid Rock . . .

    Guess which historical figure first used the term, "fake news."

    It was Joseph Goebbels.

    Thanks. I wondered about this legality, so a quick googleing suggested that five states regulate the use of automatic weapons and five other states have no regulations wrt fully automatic.

    After reading my post, again, I realized I misunderstood the OP by mrhansduck and my response was that of a real jerk. I'd like to publicly apologize to mrhansduck. I was recovering from being under the influence of general anesthesia but that is not an excuse as I can be a jerk on this message board even when I'm not feeling a bit impaired.

    To better respond to the OP, I think Kid Rock is a bit over the top and likely engaged in this behavior to generate publicity and hopefully sell tickets for his upcoming performances. A lot of us rednecks and crackers do respond positively to videos of "stuff" being shot and blown up!!

    I really do think its a case of some people who don't drink bud light thinking "this is what all those oafs and hogs like in the 'real' America, how dare they"

    I started to say that Kid Rock needs a good slap in the face. But that was Chris Rock, not Kid.

    Still, where's Will Smith when you need him?

    When a "C- celebrity" makes a living off popularity why would anyone be surprised that they act in a way to draw attention to themselves? Im filing under WTFCs

    Completely unnecessary, but I still appreciate the gesture!

    Bud Light sucks with or without Kid Rock. So there's that.
