    Jesusfuck, 250th year Anniversary of this country and this is the “talent” we have to show for it. Fucking Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli…

    My ex wife’s mom was a kid rock megafan. She had kid rock tshirts in heavy rotation, had kid rock bumper stickers on her car, and went to concerts as often as possible. She even had limited edition, rhinestone encrusted kid rock shoes. She was one of the dumbest people I’ve ever encountered and a real piece of shit person.

    Several years after divorcing my wife she still texts me asking for money (she’s a dirtbag gambling addict) despite fact I’ve ghosted her. I will never block her, because getting those texts is a sweet reminder that I’ve escaped my shitty ex’s shitty family. Fuck you Linda, you hateful garbagemonster

      I used to be a huge Kid Rock fan.
      But in my defense, I knew nothing about him, I was 10 years old, I’m German, and I understood none of the lyrics.
      (My biggest dream was one day being able to move to the US. Yeah, that changed, too.)

        Yeah, I liked him when he came out, but I was literally 12. In my 20’s I used to half ironically bust out Bawitaba when I was hanging with the boys as a throwback, and we used to half jokingly have it be our anthem. Then 2016 came and he started fondling Trump’s balls daily. We haven’t played it since.

        This is so tough. My partner’s mother is a vicious manipulator and abuser, still tries to put her hands on her grown children. I love him so much and want to do my best to support him but I can’t have a relationship with her. She’s not permitted at our house because every time we’ve tried, she starts a toddler tantrum over whatever comes to mind and gets violent.

        I worry it weighs heavily on him and I wish I could stomach more interaction with her, I imagine it would make his life easier in some ways. But I’ve hit my max when it comes to abusive people. I’m a domestic abuse survivor and I simply don’t have any more space for folks who behave that way.

    Milli Vanilli performing at a maga festival is just perfect. AFAIK the German guy is dead already, which leaves the French guy to lipsync to someone else’s singing. Or did they find someone else to complete the duo again? Maybe a Scotsman this time?

          According to this NYT article, Morris Day, Young MC, Martina McBride and the Commodores have all dropped out now, claiming to have been signed without understanding it was all a Trump thing, and the singer of the group currently using the Milli Vanilli name says they were not asked to perform at all. (No one’s heard from the original Milli Vanilli guy, Fab Morvan.)

    One would think that he is most embarrassed that he looks like that now

    I’m 47, but I look almost identical to how I looked when I was in my mid 20s. (I realize that I am exceptionally lucky, but he’s extremely rich, and has access to plastic surgeons and such)

    He looks like shit

        I didn’t realize it until I got into the second paragraph, but I read this when it was originally published.

        It is exactly as upsetting as when I read it originally.

        The Rolling Stone is an extraordinary publication.

        It’s worth mentioning these are not the only times Ritchie drops the n-word during my visit. It’d be easy to label this as the rantings of a drunk racist, but as with everything that Ritchie does, it’s hard to know how calculated it all is. Is he just trying to get a reaction? Is he begging to be pilloried when this story comes out so he can launch into a very public tirade against “cancel culture”? Is this all just a play for more attention? Would any of that make it less shitty?

        The strange thing is, despite his rhetoric, Ritchie’s politics aren’t uniformly regressive. He considers himself socially liberal. And the longer we argue, the more I can see the faint outlines of reasonable stances on things like immigration, government regulation of corporations, and tax policy. But here’s the thing: Nobody will ever hear any of that over the shouting, the name-calling, and all of his other attention-grabbing bullshit. I don’t think he really cares because the shouting, the name-calling, and the attention-grabbing bullshit are who he is now. It’s as if the blurry line between Kid Rock and Bob Ritchie has disappeared entirely.

        It’s textbook alcoholism. Super simple.

      Why do you care, and why do you think because people have money they would get plastic surgery?

      Maybe he’s actually comfortable with who he is and doesn’t care to impress American twats.

        If he was comfortable with who he was, he would not constantly keep trying to get the approval of others, especially the Titanic pile of shit called Donald Trump and his followers.

        I care because he is an insidious tool of fascism. And that tool is being used to destroy what little is left of democracy in this nation.

        The question is: why don’t you care?

        Never thought I’d be defending the guy…

      It was rock music for kids, Kid Rock even has a song about it.

      Young ladies, young ladies, I like ‘em underage,” Rock sings on the track. “See some say that’s statutory.” His sidekick at the time, the late Joe-C then chimes in, “But I say it’s mandatory.”

          Except for Flo Rida, Bret Michaels, and Vanilla Ice (known Trumpers), your list of “white supremacists” is complete horseshit.

          Almost all of the names you listed have dropped out now, claiming that they did not know when they signed that it was for Trump’s concert.

          Also, it is laughable to even suggest that the Commodores, Young MC, or Morris Day and The Time are “white supremacists” in any way. These three acts all have a certain special something in common. Can you guess what that is?

          EDITED TO ADD: Bret Michaels has now also dropped out as well, leaving only Flo Rida, Vanilla Ice, and possibly C+C Music Factory who are now “apparently weighing whether to perform,” according to the updated article I linked above.

            The save thing Kanye West has in common.

            Edit: apparently people think Kanye is an anomaly. Enrique Terri, Nick Fuentes, Clarence Thomas, Candace Owens, just because people have color doesn’t make them not supremacists, any less than Nikki Haley, Usha Vance, Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi are male supremacists.

              Kanye West is representative solely of Kanye West, and that’s only on his better days.

              So if you have ANY evidence, no matter how sketchy the link, of these non-Trump-linked specific acts that you named and/or their individual members’ participation in and/or adjacency to “white supremacy” aside from their already cancelled appearance at Trump’s concert, I invite you to bring it forward, because it is literally fictitious.

              Your assertion is ludicrous to the point of being actively offensive. Naming proudly Black people and acts who have already disavowed any intention of supporting Trump, not to mention “white supremacy,” is a slap to them and to their good names. It’s a truly shitty thing to say.
