Kid Rock pouts, refuses to see F9/11 storms out on Russell Simmons

[wndycty]

A stubborn Kid Rocks the Bush vote

It was a lazy afternoon at Russell Simmons ' spread outside downtown East Hampton.

The hip-hop and fashion mogul, his younger brother Joe (aka Rev. Run, who's filming a pilot of his own reality show for the ABC Family Channel), movie director Brett Ratner and his girlfriend, Serena Williams (recovering from her defeat in the Wimbledon final), were getting a little antsy on a rainy Monday, wondering what to do with themselves.

Then Kid Rock arrived.

So they all decided to drive into town and take in a movie.

They jumped into various vehicles and headed for the United Artists East Hampton theater on Main St.

Standing in front of the box office and perusing the titles, Simmons suggested that everybody catch the 7:15 showing of "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Kid Rock balked.

"I don't want to see that, it's all propaganda," the rock star said - sparking a prolonged political debate right there on the sidewalk.

"Russell, don't you understand, everything we got in this country, we got from fighting," Kid Rock argued, according to Simmons' account. "It's just a movie. ... I'd rather go to the bar across the street."

Kid Rock refused to see the movie, and said goodbye. The others bought tickets and went into the theater.

A couple of hours later, Simmons returned to his parked car. On his windshield was a scribbled note:

"Vote Bush . Bush Rocks," apparently written by Kid Rock himself.

Only in the Hamptons, kids, only in the Hamptons.

[Bozita]

1. Maybe the Repugs could auction off Kid Rock's crayon

fundraiser, you know

[trumad]

2. What a brilliant political mind....

[Corgigal]

3. Sounds good

I bet Kid Rock thinks he's too precious to put his butt on the line for all this "fighting". Lets draft him first.

[lanparty]

112. Ted Nugent "The Next Generation"

Another advocate of systematic violence and warfare who has no intention of doing it himself.

I tell you what. I challenge Kid Rock to a submission cage match. The loser has to vote for the others candidate. He won't die in the action, but I'll beat the shit out of him until he squeals "I'm a violent pussy".

[ellie]

4. Hardy har har

Kid Rock is an idiot. He comes across as a guy that pulled himself up by his bootstraps to be successful. It's a total crock. My friend Cori went to school with him and his sister in Michigan. His father owned a car dealership and was well off. I laugh every time he sings about being "straight out the trailer." What a poser! He did live in a trailer for a while, but he wasn't raised in one.

As for F9/11, we are all waiting with bated breath for Kid to join the military and join the "fight." Come on Bob, put your money where your mouth is!

[GOPisEvil]

5. Perhaps Kid Rock would rather desecrate the flag instead.

Wearing it as a poncho always seems to go over well. :eyes:

[Atman]

6. Kid Rock has too much...

...money and testosterone. A dangerous mix. The testosterone makes him want to kick anyone's ass who messes with his stuff. This is a very common situation when young men get wealthy too fast, with no sacrifice on their own part.

[CrispyQ]

29. Sound like anyone else we know?

"The testosterone makes him want to kick anyone's ass who messes with his stuff. This is a very common situation when young men get wealthy too fast, with no sacrifice on their own part."

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

7. Anyone want to break the news to Kid Rock that he's irrelevant?

And that his music sucks?

[sendero]

8. I used to have.....

.... a tiny bit of respect for Kid Rock.

That all evaporated when he appeared on Stern a couple weeks ago.

Playing a Charlie Daniels song, one with distinct racist overtones IMHO (long haired country boy) made it clear what kind of thinker he is.

Fuck Kid Rock.

[Tsiyu]

28. Distinct Racist Undertones?

Huh? Yes, KR is a moran and if he really believed what he said he'd have his ass in Iraq. Who the hell really cares what an idiot like him thinks about anything?
But calling "Long Haired Country Boy" racist? Unless they changed the lyrics significantly, I recall it's about a laid back country boy camplaining about the "War on Drugs." Where do you get racism from any of the lyrics?



People say I'm no good
Crazy as a loon
Cuz I get stoned in the mornin'
get high in the afternoon...


"Drunkard wants another drink of wine
Politician wants a vote
Me. I don't want nothin' at all
But I will take another toke...

And I ain't askin no body for nothin
If I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way I'm livin'
you just leave this long-haired country boy alone...

[sendero]

43. Yes....

... distinct anti-welfare-queen racist undertones. Just cuz you don't see them don't mean they aren't there.

[Tsiyu]

48. Well

I believe the lyrics suggest a man who is telling everyone to get off his back because he lives how he wants to. I sing it as a "Long-Haired Country Girl" ( with John Ashcroft in mind). The term you just used (which I will not repeat) is not in my vocabulary, so perhaps you'd better rethink your own terminology. I find that term offensive. Just my opinion...

[uncle ray]

60. what the cheney are you talking about?

i'll just have to believe you're joking. anti-welfare queen racist undertones??? sounds like a made up issue, just like welfare queens.

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

81. He was too chicken to state his real opinion to Howard

He pretended to be an undecided voter. He obviously knew he couldn't defend his views.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

107. or even knew what his own views are

before this thread I did't know much about Kid Rock, but I do now.

[JHB]

9. So is Kid going to start "Grungy No-Talent Dirtbags for Bush"?

Time to send Kid Rock some fan mail: if he's a fan of Bush, mail him an Army enlistment form.

[sniffa]

38. very good

[Enraged_Ape]

109. I thought Ted Nugent already started that organization.

But Kid Rock could be Secretary.

[Lars39]

10. Anyone have contact info? He needs an enlistment form ASAP.

[wndycty]

17. He also has a blog!

http://www.kidrock.com

[e-mail]

[sniffa]

11. just when i think kid rock

couLdn't disgrace the white maLe more....

i'm gLad he's aLways sickened me.

he totaLLy soLd out after grits sandwiches for breakfast

[ugarte]

12. Kid Rock's gotta look out for his base

The Hank Williams Toby Keith crowd. He's nobody in hip-hop.

[sniffa]

16. pLease don't caLL him hip hop

that's just disgusting

[JHB]

18. He's more like "Hippety-hop"

...just playing at play'n.

[Bridget Burke]

61. What the hell does Hank Williams have to do with Kid Rock?

Hank Williams Jr--maybe.



Not Hank Williams.

[ugarte]

73. Yes, H.W. Junior

The original H.W. was an original and truly great. Junior has the bravado but not the soul.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

105. Here's verification from Junior's "official" Web Site

http://www.hankjr.com/newspress.htm

[Blue-Jay]

13. Fuck that punk.

We don't need his no-talent stupid ass anyway. If your entire knowledge of politics consists of "________ rocks", you should stay home and masturbate all day instead of opening your mouth and exposing yourself for the idiot you are. He's not a kid and he doesn't rock, so fuck that punk.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

14. kid rock, lol

all the good musicians die too young and all the crappy ones stay around way to long.

what i am wondering is why the hell those other guys hang out with kid rock?

i understand that kid rock is a well versed rap fan, but he is sure no artist with the mike, he is a walking cliche

[LizW]

15. "We" got from fighting?

"We"??????

I await the Kid's enlistment and deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan.

:eyes:

[lumpy]

31. "everything WE got in this country,

WE got from fighting." Another Ass that should take that turd named WE out of his pocket.

[tandot]

19. He should have scribbled "Vote Bush. Bush is smart as a rock"

What is he afraid off? Having to admit that he was wrong in supporting an incompetent ass?

This is great: "Russell, don't you understand, everything we got in this country, we got from fighting..."

Hey, Kid Rock: Get your ass over to Iraq and fight for your President.

He proves my point that only ignorant idiots support Bush.

[greenbriar]

20. Kid Rock

can go Cheney himself

[sus]

21. what do you expect..

i'm not surprised at all. he's a piece of trash.

[underpants]

25. He is actualy from the 'burbs

The VH1 Behind the Music totally blew away his "White trash made it from the gutter of the streets" story showing him to be a poseur and from a lower (not too low) middle class family.

When he first came out the story was that he had run an "escort service" from a hotel room starting when he was 15 or so. Turns out he was in high school like everyone else.

[sus]

32. i didn't say poor white trash.

i said TRASH. :)

this country is littered with well-to-do wanna-be white boys. it's the "poor white trash" who are actually dying in Iraq.

to state the obvious.

[underpants]

41. Sorry my words

old habit.

[sus]

apology accepted.

now where are my cookies?! :)

[underpants]

57. No cookies for you!

[sus]

63. I confess that I am currently wearing underwear with Cookie Monster's face

screen-printed on them (on the ass) and "yum-yum" printed on the waistband. They're like reverse Underoos. instead of making little kids feel big and powerful and superheroic, they make me forget my responsibilities for a second while I feel giddy and giggly thinking about Cookie Monster on my yum-yum ass.

you're welcome in advance for sharing.

[playahata1]

44. LOWER middle class?

I think it should be a little HIGHER than that: his father owns a car dealership.

[Kid_A]

22. Don't underestimate the man who wrote these lyrics:

"Bawitdaba da dang da dang diggy diggy diggy wit da boogie said up jump da boogie."

If there's a more powerful artistic mind in the world today, I don't want to know about it.

[sus]

37. on top of that,

he is butt ugly.

cut that hair, dude. and let me introduce you to this new fangled thing called a razor. try shaving. why don't you start with your throat?

[markses]

72. He didn't even write that

It's a citation, mostly, from the classic "Rapper's delight" (1979) by the Sugar Hill Gang:

i said a hip hop the hippie the hippie
to the hip hip hop, a you dont stop
the rock it to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie
to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat

[Loonman]

23. When's Kid Rock going to enlist to go to Baghdad?

????

[lanparty]

114. He did do a USO tour ...

... so he deserves a little bit of credit. He was willing to do free shows for troops in Iraq.

[Hubert Flottz]

24. Who the Cheney is Kid Rock?

Never heard of him?

[JHB]

27. That gives you some measure...

...of the gravitas of his opinion.

[Lars39]

30. Self-described "Pimp of the Nation"

Don't you feel better now THAT slot has been filled? :eyes:

[Hubert Flottz]

39. I guess with the plethora of HOs in the Bush Admin they need a

good pimp! I quit buying any CDs from anyone who supports Bush in any way shape or form in 2000! Anyone who backs a fool like Bush must also be a damned fool, is the way I see it!

Edit}}}}I'm a Dixie Chicks Fan!

[Lars39]

40. And you'd be right!

:)

[porphyrian]

26. Someone still listens to Kid Rock? - n/t

[Lavender Brown]

33. Damn, I was really hoping Kid Rock was on our side

:eyes: What a loser.

[hatrack]

34. Wow, is he still alive? Who knew? nt

.

[JHB]

36. More to the point, Who cared? n/t

[Khephra]

35. I'M SHOCKED, I TELL YAH! SHOCKED!

That is shocked to find out that Simmons, Ratner, and Williams were hanging out with Kid.

[liveoaktx]

42. I like the *Bored on a Saturday Afternoon* angle

May be a lot of people who are going to be looking for a movie to take in, F911 won't be their first choice, but they will still go.

[Bombtrack]

45. Kid Rock is a typical upper middle class douche. The O'Reilly of the rock

world and another gold-old-boy poser greedy fuck. He's said that he won't be happy until he has "Elvis money".

When he was on Howard Stern Howard asked him a bunch of questions about where he was on the election, and Kid just said he couldn't decide. Howard asked him a bunch of things he "had to be" for. Abortion-rights, stem-cell research(which he said could have saved Joe C), etc., all of which Kid responded that he was for, without offering any reason not to vote for Kerry.

I read on freakrepublic people talking about how "he came from the absolute bottom, absolutely nothing, to the top" apparently neglecting the fact that he's the son of a rich car-dealership chain in the wealthy detroit suburbs.

[louis-t]

120. He grew up in Romeo

I know the city (and his Dad's dealership) well. At the time he was growing up there, Romeo was definitely middle, middle class. Small town that has recently (last 10 years) grown with large infusion of cash. Ritchie family was not always well-to-do. But they weren't dirt poor. I really don't like his music or his attitude, just trying to help with perspective.

[LittleApple81]

46. Seriously, WHO IS KID ROCK? I have never seen him or heard him..

And judging his intelligence and intellect I do not want to.

[wndycty]

49. He is a musician. . .

. . .although many consider him a rapper he is more of rock and roll artist.

[JHB]

54. I'll take offense at that...

...since one has to make music to qualify as a "musician".

He's a Johhny Bravo: he fit someone's suit.

[JHB]

51. If you MUST know...

...look here (http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/kid_rock/bio.jhtml) for more.

Otherwise, chalk him up as another one-hit wonder (if that).

[Warren DeMontague]

53. He's the son of Mom and Dad Rock

...And I think he was recently romantically linked with fellow brain trust Pam Anderson.

[LittleApple81]

56. Oh... the brain trust of North America... since Pamela was born in Canada!

Thanks.

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

82. Pam dumped him

He was pretending on the Stern show like he didn't care, but it sounded like he did.

[fujiyama]

98. He's the idiot

that performed during the superbowl half time show (the other really crappy act other than the Janet thing).

[spanone]

47. You hang with rednecks, you might become one.

[playahata1]

52. And once upon a time he PRETENDED he was BLACK.

His own child is bi-racial, BTW. Yet he claims to support an administration whose policies are nothing but racist.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

50. THIS KID ROCK

http://www.metal-sludge.com/ExposedKidRock.htm

[Monte Carlo]

55. Hey, some people just aren't ready to accept the idea that Bush is crooked

They don't want to believe that the President, the leader of America the land we love, is an idiot prince.

I still like Kid Rock, though I would want about ten minutes to explain to him what Bush is all about.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

58. Kid Rock Sucks...

I'm sorry...


Anybody that is reduced to faking street creds is pathetic...


He claims to have lived in a trailer when his daddy owned a car dealership...


He also got so caught up in the Lakers- Pistons championship series that he threatened to punch out Jack Nicholson...

[Room101]

59. Kid Rock didn't know what stem cell research was

When asked on the Howard stern show if he was for Stem Cell research he replied "what's that?" that sums this Jingoist up.

[proud patriot]

62. Kid Rock is so weak minded , that he can't watch a movie he dissagrees

with ....Studip is as Stupid does .

[Killarney]

64. Kid "ChickenHawk" Rock

He's 100% for all wars, as long as he can stay home and fuck porn stars instead of fight.

[goju]

65. He is washed up anyway

I thought his career was over by now, what is he still doing in the news.

[ContinentalOp]

66. He really is Ted Nugent Jr.

Isn't Kid Rock from Detroit too? What's up Detroit? Why do you keep creating these guys?

[fujiyama]

99. Neither are from Detroit

They're from SUBURBS of Detroit. I don't even think Nugent is from anywhere near the city.

That too, while I find Kid Rock a moron and brain dead, I don't think he's necessarily racist like Nugent (who is blatantly racist).

Detroit itself had probably the largest margin of any city voting for Gore (it was around 90%).

[DemocratSinceBirth]

106. But Not My Man Eminem

He's from Eight Mile which is a beat up strip right outside of Detroit...


I forgot the title of the song but Eminem busts on Vanilla Ice for living twenty miles from Detroit...

[noonwitch]

116. I live a couple miles from the trailer park where 8 Mile was filmed

I live just north of 8 Mile, in Warren, and I lived in Detroit for 12 years. There is a much bigger connection with the city when you live on it's border. There's more of a realization of the connection between city and suburb and that success for one is tied to the other's success, and vice versa. That doesn't go for all of Warren, however, there are still a lot of rednecks who can't afford to live in northern Macomb County.

The people in Ferndale understand that to some degree. There was a move by Oakland County to demolish the Woodward bridge over 8 Mile Rd, which would have led to more difficult traffic problems in getting from Detroit to Ferndale. The citizens on both sides of 8 Mile spoke up and now the state is going to repair the bridge.

[West Coast Democrat]

67. Who is "Kid Rock"?

I'm not familiar.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

68. See Post 50...

[West Coast Democrat]

71. He looks like the sort of person who would support Bush....

his eyes have that look.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

74. He's Actually Quite Popular...

He does a remakes of bad 70's songs...


Kind of like Johnny Bolton with a tude...

[playahata1]

76. You mean MICHAEL Bolton.

[AntiCoup2K4]

69. Fuck that no talent poser

Ever seen what that moron looked like when he started out in the rap music business.....



Of course that's before he realized that he'd make more money trying to look like David Lee Roth.

And now that the other talentless poser white rapper has taken the title of 21st Century Vanilla Ice unto himself, this douchebag now thinks he's a country singer

Fuck it, the Freeps can have the dumbass. :puke:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

70. Check Out The Website I Cited In Post 50...

Fuck him and fuck his fake street creds...


Say what you want about Eminem but his street creds are real....

[playahata1]

75. I kNOW you're not talking about EMINEM here:

"And now that the other talentless poser white rapper has taken the title of 21st Century Vanilla Ice unto himself...."

Eminem has more rhyme/lyrical skills and flow in his little finger than Vanilla Ice ever had in his entire body. Ask DR. DRE.

And unlike Vanilla Ice and Kid Rock, Eminem HAS NEVER PRETENDED THAT HE WAS ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHITE.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

78. That's Kid Rock's Picture........

Eminem never makes any bones about the fact that being white has helped his career....

Listen to his song "America" on the Eminem Show CD where he sings "nobody gave a fuck about me until they knew I was white"


He's also very anti-Bush, anti-Cheney, and anti-Iraq War in his lyrics...

[playahata1]

83. I know that's Kid Rock; I have seen this picture before.

And I am quite aware of Eminem's politics.

What I am referring to is this line from your post:

"And now that the other talentless poser white rapper has taken the title of 21st Century Vanilla Ice unto himself...." I read that as being about Eminem.

Eminem is nobody's poser, and he has WAY more talent -- and SUBSTANCE -- than Vanilla Ice, Kid Rock, and, I daresay, many BLACK rappers out there. While a lot of these Brothas are spitting out nothing but bling-bling and pimpin' and cars and cribs and hos and "peeling somebody's cap," Eminem talks about family issues, race, politics, the decadence and hypocrisy of mainstream American society and (popular) culture. I give Eminem MAJOR props for his willingness to call "bullshit" on these things.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

89. I Didn't Imply That... Maybe It Was Anti-Coup...

I like Eminem, Dr. Dre, and Snoop Dog...

I also like P E

[Cleita]

77. A perfect example of Ostrich syndrome. If you keep yourself

ignorant of the opposition, you can vote for your candidate with a clear conscience even if he is a murdering, idiot war criminal.

[LynneSin]

80. What really baffles my mind

is what the hell is someone like Russell Simmons doing hanging out with a punk asshole like Kid Rock?

[playahata1]

87. If I have a problem with Russell Simmons,

it is that he thinks he can try to bring everyone together, bring everyone around to his way of thinking -- regardless of race and politics and ideology -- as long as they "represent" what he thinks is the hip-hop ideal.

[sampsonblk]

84. My suspicions confirmed

What an idiot!

[digno dave]

86. That kid rock is one American Baddasss!!!

[wndycty]

96. Kick

:kick:

[Rob in B_more]

88. He seems like the perfect advocate for Bush- rude,selfish, ignorant

Can we suggest to the Rove to send Kid Rock as Bush's personal emmisary to all the fundamentalist Christian congregations, in the swing states. Just let the man speak, and get him the right audience.

[John_H]

90. Like Chimp, he's a cowboy baby without the comma.

[tom_paine]

91. Kid Rock is a stupid Bootlicker and Fellator of Tyrants

I would LOOOOOVE to tell that Fake Tough Guy that TO HIS FACE!

Wish I had been in the Hamptons that night.

[Must_B_Free]

92. I have two words for Kid rock

ENLIST, PUSSY

[Oddman]

93. What a DORK!!!

Kid Dork

[Cats Against Frist]

94. Kid Rock is starring in "Core Amaricun Values" propaganda

He's in the four-wheeling video with that ho bag Gretchen Wilson (apparently I went to high school with her), so he's making the rounds in the "Shock 'n Y'all" circuit.

Screw him.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

119. Gretchen Wilson: EWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

The only thing smarmyer than her is Naomi (another "family values" girl) Judd! :puke:

97. Get in the bargain bin with Vanilla Ice, Kid.

I really want to keep this thread alive...


I despise Kid Rock as much as Vanilla Ice....

102. 'kid' was born rich/ will die stupid n/t

[VOX]

103. "It's all propaganda..." Kid Koolaid appears to have been watching Faux...

And getting his MDR of right-wing talking points.

That's right Kid, avoid any and all exposure to opposing viewpoints -- you might get a ray of clear light on that nice, dark, cozy shroud of brainwashing that's keeping you more stupid than usual.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

104. Kid Rock Knows Most Rap And Rock Fans Are On The Left

but by being a winger liker Ted Nugent he thinks he can find a niche.


He sucks and so did Ted Nugent...


Clapton, Hendrix, Jeff Beck could play better guitar than Ted Nugent on heroin...

[NicRic]

108. Maybe he and Ted Nugent...

can start a band .What kind of music would they play ,rap,country ,rock n roll. They could call the band ,The Know Nothings or Bodies without Brains. Actually Iam happy these idiots support bush ! It shows thinking people even more so ,what mentality the young bush supporters have . Ignorant bigots, who's small brains ingage a flapping jaw before the small brain takes the time to listen !

111. Music?

More like shit.

117. This Kid is a spoiled pretender!

He tryies to come off as a lowly bad boy when in fact he lived a very comfortable life trying on different images thru out his youth and beyond. BTW, isn't his 10 minutes up yet?

[PROGRESSIVE1]

118. Kid Rock is spending TOO MUCH time around Hank Williams Jr. and...

the "Nashville Mafia" to have an objective viewpoint!

Kid Rock is the NEXT Ted Nugent, a right wing bigot who spouts the right wing lines about nationalism and "good white "Christian" values".

:scary:
