If it aināt Kenny Rogers and Linda Ronstadt it aināt music.
Kenny got the devil in him when he took to screwin Dolly on the island in the stream.
I don't listen to anything but taped speeches of Charlton Heston at the NRA convention. All of that rock n roll jitterbug music will turn a feller quair.
He came to town this past summer for the Grand Opening and to play Jack's new course American Dunes which is dedicated to the Folds of Honor charity for spouses and children of fallen veterans. My boy worked there. The night before, big dinner, lots of promotion and afterwards there was a hella celebration in the bar. Jack drinking with Kid Rock, Bret Baer, some pros, founders, and distinguished vets. Kid left pretty geezed at 3am. Grand opening tee times were at 9am. It was a Big deal. VIPS, Limos, speeches, the works.
Jack hit the very first drive, big military fly over, flag raising, Star Spangled Banner, lotsa hype. Rock shows up pretty hung and pretty much on time thanks to his asst. He was dressed, well, like Kid Rock - not a golfer. Fedora on backwards, shorts, white knee high athletic socks, you get the picture. Proceeds to shank his drive of the first. Instructs beverage cart girl to come visit every other hole or so. She made A LOT of money that day. Seems he was punishing the 16oz Buds better than he was golfing.
After the 18th green a crowd gathered around his cart along with the press. My boy is cleaning his clubs and says, Mr. Rock, you left a few unopen beers in the cart, would you like them? Rock says hey, you can have them. My boy says I'm not old enough to drink (with a wink), but I can give them to the guys in the cart barn. Rocks says, Right on dude! Fist bumps my boy, pulls out his wallet, and slips him a hundy.
He didn't get paid a dime to do that for the veterans. He's pretty cool in my book.
Wouldnāt have considered myself a āfanā per se. Wasnāt gonna run to the store to buy his CDās or anything, but wasnāt going to flip the channel if a tune came on the radio either. Kinda indifferent either way. Saw him perform live at Woodstock ā99 and was greatly surprised with the show he put on. Helluva a fun performance. Changed my opinion.

You boys realize he was all in on the baby-daddy ghetto scene before he found a niche, right?
Uh, it's called a brand...
We'll see in time I suppose. It's a quantum leap from having kids with black crack whores to being the darling of conservative honkys. I like some of his music, but it needs to be left at that.
Saw an ad for him and Foreigner in Pa this summer.
Daughter lives Foreigner, I was thinking we might go.
I heard 6 words come out of his mouth in th OP video. About 3 were enough, took a second to stop it. I won't be paying money to punish myself like that.
You all can fawn over whit trash posing as a Redneck. (There is a difference) You might love his music, I'm glad for you.

If itās a schtick itās one heās been rocking for a couple decades nowā¦.. heās badass. I donāt like all his songs but I like his attitude

You're just pissed that the most you could ever lock him up for would be DUI on a 4 wheeler. š

BC30cal; thank's... havn't heard "Slow Ride" in a coon's age (or two)... best friend had a 340 duster back in HS, glass packs, air shocks and cragers... must'a been in 77/78 i think... ust'a cruise the street by the HS where all the "cool kids" gathered on lunch break to smoke cigarettes... Of course we had Slow Ride on cassette blasti'n outt'a the stereo... Those day's were just like the movie "Dazed and Confused".. It's a miracle we didn't wind up dead or in jail... lol

If this is what you really think about The Kid you really don't know that much about the boy from Romeo.
Pretty sure I knew all of song on Lynryd Skynyrdās first two albums by the time I was 6.
šāļø
slumlord; Thanks for the reply sir, I hope the day's looking to be a good one out in Tennessee.
That makes sense about the tunes now sir.
Like it was yesterday, I can still recall the first time I felt really, really old...
One of the owner's daughters was working in the cabinet shop one summer and this song came on. She said she loved it and asked me if I knew it?
I replied, "Yah, first heard it on the radio coming out of Manitoba in the summer of '73. Loved it the first time I heard it, why?"
She looked at me like I was absolutely a living fossil!!!
As with 7 mm Loco, I listened to Foghat in a jacked up '71 T37 with dual turbo mufflers on it, the sound coming from a Craig cassette deck, through a 7 band Sears booster/equalizer and some big speakers which I can't recall the brand name now. That would've been '78 or '79 I guess.
It's been a faster ride than I'd anticipated slumlord, that much I can say for certain - but it wasn't without some very grand times indeed.

Pretty cool
Your cart barn story made me laugh. My best bud in highschool worked a cart barn after school, washing them, plugging them up, getting them ready for next day. He'd save all the unopen beers left by golfers in a big orange gatorade cooler, They'd keep them iced down of course and Friday afternoons we'd drink what the golfers left us.
Thatās why it floors me WHEN dudes that were of that vintage say stuff like:
āNever of emā āJust a bunch of long haired hippies, jumping around on a stage, screamin, making fools of themselvesā
I give you Mannlicker as an example
What in the hell was he listening too when he was 25ish years old during that period of music?
Pretty sure Mannlicher skipped his teen years, 20's, 30's, 40's and a good chunk of his 50's. One year 8, the next year 57. He'd be on the front porch, 9 years old, yelling "Get off my lawn" to his schoolmates...
