    In this creep’s defense, If I could come out of retirement and make millions more off the absolute dumbest motherfuckers on the planet by putting in the bare minimum amount of effort…I’d have to seriously consider it.

    In a social media post made after the halftime show had concluded, Kirk’s widow Erika said that her husband “would have loved” the halftime show.

    Jesus, just dig him up and shoot him again. No need to say the guy would have liked Kid Rock…

    I think it’s hilarious that the MAGATs tuned out the real Superbowl halftime show in order to watch an old ass pedofile lipsink to his godawful songs.

      Everything about Kid Rock is fake.

      He is rich, privileged white boy, who came from rich family, grew up in a fuckin mansion, went to private school, etc etc.

      But he is obsessed with trying to cosplay as some low income, blue collar, trailer park livin dude, whose highest achievement in life was fondling his sisters tit when she was drunk and unconscious after a party when he was 15.

    Kid Rock sucks, and there was no reason for him to flail around on stage, but there’s a reason entertainers lip sync: Axl Rose 2002 VMAs. Other good reasons exist, but man…I remember watching that live and thinking he must have mocked the rock gods.

      I saw a clip of the performance… It was a really bad lip sync. As in he kept pulling the mic away from his head well before the lyrics were over. I’d heard the controversy and was like, I’m sure it wasn’t that obvious he was lip syncing, and was floored when I saw the actual performance.

      If you’re a decent performer there’s no need. If you’re not good enough without studio editing, you shouldn’t be performing live anyway.

        If you’re not good enough

        i apologize, but this is my hobby horse. so, here is my musician rant.

        have you heard stevie nicks lately? she’s just aged, same as the rest of us. her voice ain’t what it used to be, that’s no reason to ban someone from live performing. take it from someone who has been a very bad professional musician, the line of “are you good enough” is “do you have the chutzpah to stand up in front of a crowd”. that’s it. punk is full of musicians who are terrible at their instruments but they play together, they have the emotion and they have fun. The Gin Blossoms’ guitarist knew two chords and one strumming pattern on their first two albums and was really more of a country guitarist than a pop/alternative guy. Thousands of people remember their songs fondly. It’s not about good, it’s about emotion and enjoyment, and if you get that when you play that’s what people go to see. -source i’ve played with tower of power, afterglow, confunkshun, i’m not going to name my band or the actual local bands that i sit in with but sitting in with those 3 were the highlights

        anyways.

          Hell yeah. And I suppose my “not good enough” would be better stated as “if a musician or venue is insecure or uncomfortable with a real performance, they shouldn’t play live”.

    ‘Kid’ Rock.

    Holy shit, aging has hit him like a sledgehammer. The guy is apparently 55 but looks like he’s 75. Is it weak genes? Is it poor lifestyle? Or is it from having a curdled and hate-filled soul? Maybe all three I guess. But regardless, bubba looks like he’s about to head to the old folks home any day.
