Also doesn't help that they apparently gave a bunch of half-truths to every other artist on the card (like Shinedown), and potentially just added some names they thought they could dial last-minute (Ludacris).
I hear snoop might take them up on the offer if they paid him well, he went maga. Dre too someone said but idk, don't know and don't care all that much I'm not much into the raps anymore. I do like ludicrous still though. Word of Mouf was great.
That's "Rock the Country," aka "MAGA Fest." It was a different show held in South Carolina, where all the other artists started dropping out when they realized it was promoting MAGA.
Kid Rock was headlining that show, but it's separate from Turning Point USA's halftime show starring Kid Rock. As far as I know, that one is still happening.
No, there are probably about 5-10M fans out there. I have a coworker who loves him.
Nobody with an IQ above 90 likes Kid Rock. Nobody with any actual musical taste likes Kid Rock. Nobody worth having a conversation with likes Kid Rock.
Every Super Bowl there is a competing halftime show from other channels or websites. This year we have right wing lunatics acting like they’re the first and only ones to do so. Maybe year they’re do a puppy killing bowl to rival the regular one since we all know how much they love doing that.
There’s 300 million+ people in the US. While Football is extremely popular, and having a Super Bowl watching party is almost a holiday style event, not every one appreciates the sport.
As the day became more holiday like, they added a show at half-time which usually is a mega-music production in and of itself that many people want to watch.
Capitalism being capitalism, commercial spots during that time are expensive and in high demand, so companies started making hilarious commercials because of the extreme amount of viewers during that time. What this ends up being is kind of a day that has something for everyone, music, sports, comedy, companionship etc.
It’s weird if you just look at from top down view but in context and with a little history it’s actually a pretty nice not holiday
i dont even think kid rock bothered to write any new songs he's just playing the "hits" from his 26 year old album and he doesn't even have twisted brown trucker anymore
I mean we can be sure the Super Bowl staff are very good at choosing people that are culturally relevant and will make people spend on ads. Not into Bad Bunny myself, although not really tried yet, but I believe he’s massive.
They said the same last year about Kendrick Lamar, someone I do love, and it was a great show.
I mean, the original's not great either, it's a bunch of guys wrapped in Confederate flags singing about how Watergate wasn't even a big deal actually, and guys who criticize racism like Neil Young should just shut up
These people are so used to talking in their echo chamber and responding to things they lied about us saying that we are lost if we just wander into their posts.
They are freaking out because kid rock. What? Nobody gives a shit about kid rock, how old is that asshole now? Him and ted nugent can front a half time show about fucking children all they want, no one in reality cares.
And no one cares about the half time show, tv executives don't particularly care either, it's a bit piece, something for the people that don't watch football normally. None of the fans give a shit about the half time show particularly.
He is still out there. In fact someone just dumped like a hundred murdered goats on state land near where he is one of the biggest landlords. Naturally I thought of him, made a joke about it, the conservatives all took it as a real accusation and freaked out demanding evidence to the point where I'm now convinced it actually was him and his people, and their whack em and stack em canned hunts.
They raise animals in captivity and put them in a fenced in area so they can blow them all away en masse with assault rifles. Because killing things is fun, none of the pesky sportsmanship or tracking to get in the way of the sheer joy of slaughtering captive animals, apparently.
I mean, I won’t watch this trash, and I really do hope it flops, but I feel like the caviler dismissal of the possibility of it going well is exactly how Trump won when he has.
There’s a lot of idiots out there, and everyone sits in their bubble, smuggly talking about how these people don’t exist, and then get really fucking surprised when they turn out in droves.
Ted nugent might not be in the epstein files either, but to be fair he was fucking children before it was popular, a real trend setting in that regard. (One of his hit songs is about banging a 13 year old or something the sick fuck.)
Ya, I already only sorta liked watching pro sports. Betting and the incessant babbling by the commentators about it have ruined it. I used to enjoy listening to the twins games on the radio, but no more.

That's what gets upvotes on Lemmy, sadly.
This is how Voat (another Reddit clone) died. Political shitposts and clickbait tabloids crowded out every niche, so all the interesting content left.
As it turns out, doomscrolling twitter troll reposts with the same few comments in each one is quite depressing.
I don't know a good solution, either. Clickbait works. Maybe some structural changes could help, though?
