Oh, Kid Rock. We all know him as the greasy, craggy, country singer whose songs are all about drinkin’ cheap whiskey, Jackson, Mississippi, country romances, and the “Rock Bottom Blues” all while hailing from a rich family in Michigan.
He’s been getting more negative attention negative for being an ardent Trump supporter and purveyor of Trump merchandise, gun advocate, and for declaring “F**k Colin Kaepernick” at one of his concerts.
Kid Rock just had an interview on Fox and Friends this week in his Nashville bar as he was chugging bourbon. He also admitted later that he had been drinking coffee and Irish cream liqueur that day. Based on that information, the interview went just as well as you would imagine. Here was his most choice quote:
“God forbid you say something a little wrong; you’re racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, this that and the other. People need to calm down, get a little less politically correct. And I would say, you know, love everybody. Except, I’d say screw that Joy Behar bitch.”
Ah yes, spoken like a true 50-year-old drunk-ass dickhead. Whenever someone says “Let’s not be so politically correct,” it usually means. “I should be allowed to be as outwardly racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, just generally offensive as I want, and no one should tell me I’m wrong.”
Shockingly enough, Fox and Friends actually issued an apology to The View host Joy Behar for Kid Rock’s interview and language. I never knew that I could live in a world where Fox actually admits that one of their guests was a shitty, shitty person.
Kid Rock apologized for the language he used, but not the insult to Joy Behar. whom he loathes for her criticism of Donald Trump. His non-apology was:
“Mess with the bull, you get the horns.”
The city of Nashville seems to have unanimously agreed in disgust that Kid Rock is indeed a fucking asshole. Kid Rock was supposed to have been the grand marshal for Nashville’s Christmas Parade, but city officials announced that Kid Rock has been kicked out of the parade lineup. Local hero James Shaw, Jr., who helped stop a Waffle House shooter, will be replacing Kid Rock as grand marshal in the parade.
Joy Behar has apparently been taking the Kid Rock insult in stride. Most likely, because not only is Fox actually actually apologizing to her for something, but she gets to enjoy seeing this fuckhead get publicly shamed for making repugnant statements about her (would this be a case of irony here? I think so!). In a gesture of goodwill, Behar made Kid Rock this offer:
“This bitch and these bitches would be happy to have you on the show and have a beer.”
No word on whether Kid Rock has accepted. However, if he does, I recommend he come bearing some Crown Royal at the very least.
