Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I am sure all the fan that watched it were disappointed.

The only thing more distracting than a crowd booing you is silence with one person cheering for you in public.

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.

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.

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.

Quite in the line of expectations, to be frank. Fakiness is part of that country

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.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours ago

To be fair, groping his sister probably is his highest achievement.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 12 points 6 hours ago

It's also terrible lip syncing. He looks completely lost.

'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.

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Holy shit, this is the SAME kid rock from the 90s? i thought someone was reusing the name because that dude is forgotten.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

Cocaine has that effect

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 19 points 6 hours ago

More like Crack Rock

[–] mcv@lemmy.zip 10 points 7 hours ago

I was just wondering if we shouldn't be calling him Old Man Rock by now. But he's only 3 years older than I am? He looks at least a decade older.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

I used to hang with a lot of hard-partying night-owls. Combining poor sleep, cigarettes, and alcohol can age a person pretty damn fast. If you add hard drugs to the mix, or even some legitimate prescriptions, it just gets even faster.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 43 points 11 hours ago

He looks so fucking stupid, I can't breathe

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 8 hours ago

He forgot to take his meth today. No wonder he looks so burnt out.

That's an insult to Joe Dirt! (even if the character is a satire of Skid Mark)
