A Robin Hood pact with promoter Live Nation on ancillary coin might redefine the concert biz

Where I grew up, there were no rich people. No bankers, no rightwing titans ranting the poor were lazy and the government was taking all their hard-earned money. Some dads worked for the electric company, others sold insurance or held blue-collar jobs.
Here is the thread.. Nothing deleted here...
I'm really glad to read others have the same opinion as mine...
I would say he puts on the best concert and not to get into a COOL song like Summertime didn't make much sense to me? :)
How in the hell did Brittney get 3 moonmen? LOL She is the one the click should be shrugging off not Kid Rock. I thought it was crazy that the audience wasn't into his very popular song.
Oh well, They can kiss his anglo saxon ass! LOL....and mine,2.
I only tuned into the VMAs for Kidrock. The whole VMA's is not like it used to be. It used to be bands- that would play their songs and fans rocking out. Now it is all about choregraphed dance moves, who can lip sync the best (which is just another way of saying- I have no talent!). All those damn dancers take away from the artist-- maybe that is the idea. THere are so many "ARTISTS" totday that have no talent. I also hate it when hosts and/or celebrities get up there and talk about politics. We tune in, to get away from all that BULLSHIT!!! I do not care about that crap right now!! Just play some music!! Every one of the songs performed, except KID ROCK's--Had that techno crap in it. I HATE TECHNO!!! Techno reminds me of synchronized bullfrogs-- IT is for people who don't have a brain!!! KID ROCK --YOU ROCK---KEEP BEING REAL AND ORIGINAL!!
lol Tangie....if ya take pictures I will kick in some $$$ too
***YES, this is her BASHING our Prez, dontcha think?!?!
does she feed the homeless with her millions, she makes much more moolah than Bush does ~
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why
Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pay the road to hell
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh
How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
I think KR says it BEST...LOL
Everyone have a good day and thanks for all th great blogs - wow there really are smart, funny, and NORMAL (somewhat - who is) people still out there! I like to make myself LOL
Annie, Pink wrote a song titled, Dear Mr. President. Is that what you are referring to?
Pink did not bash President Bush on live TV last nite tho! Or did I miss somethin? I did not watch the show in it's entirety..it SUCKED!!
MiGirl, I hafta agree with ya, lol. Seems the break-up was the inspiration to the song?!
Pink had a great performance and looked great a break-up always does a body good - opps!
she bashes the prez too
Did I miss something...Pink was awesome as usual!!!
What do you mean Annie..she's one of them too??
I agree with Karen we almost turned it off the first minute!
Pink Rocked, but shes one of them too!
MTV should be ashamed of themselves! I had a hard time watching that shit... I wanted to see Kid's performance... the rest was all bullshit!
OPPS - I am new to this and I was reading KevRock's - really long blog and I just deleted it in the middle of reading it - SHIT - I'm SORRY!
FYI - We shouldn't turn the VMA's into a political issue - that's what they want and we are the puppets acting it out! I am just happy younger people are thinking about voting @ all!
I LOVE Kid Rock & USA! (I'm chzy!)
Annie, MTV now has video channels that only play videos.. They do not play them on actual MTV, but Mtv2, Mtv Jams, MTV Hits, and some other bullshit channel
Ha...thanks for the chuckles this morning KevRock....it's time for me to actually get some stuff done today! :) I concur AnnieRocks!....
and where and when does MTV even show videos......?? I never see videos on there, is it early morning?
fuck MTV
I understand fully, Donna.. I am not upset with you, or anything you have said. I am just sick of the way Democrats, liberals, and the people who support them run a campaign. I have never saw a Republican, or a conservative get in TV and act the way these people act. I have never saw a republican or conservative act the way the Michael Moore's of the world act, the way the Anti War people of this Country act. I have never saw a Republican or Conservative spit on someone who serves this country, I have never saw one make a mockery of a very personal family issue of a candidate, I have never saw a republican or conservative act like a fucking moron on national tv to try and sway votes.. Applauding a Limey Bastard for calling our President a Retarded Cowboy? I swear to god if I was in the crowd, I woulda either walked out, or jumped on stage and punched that clown in the lip.. As a matter of fact, I put a 500 dollar reward out for anyone who punched him in the lip. I am praying I get a text message today saying I owe someone money...
he was a comedian?!?!?
Geez Kevrock....the say everyone has a twin....are you mine? Thank you for the intellect. It's the best post I have read in a long time. It's our biggest fear that for my husband to go back over under the command of a President that wants to have a round table tea time with people that hate us and want us all dead...and yet, throw incentive after incentive at them in order to create nice nice. And then, we are trying to get as much family time in as possible right now and it was, yet again, ruined last night by an unknown European communist and a socialist TV network adding fuel to the fire. I've been on many boards this morning and it's refreshing to see that middle America is pissed and hopefully finally saying enough is enough. The post was terrific. Thank you.
the white house on Cribs blahhahaha
Kev Im am not trying to upset you and I see your point. I keep my political opinions to myself and as I said I am not American, so I will not give my thoughts on a US political race. However, I agree with all in regards to the `comedian`and it being in very bad taste. Best to you all.
Well Christy, I understand your point of view, but Honestly, I did not Expect Bob to tell people to vote for McCain, and trust me, Bob is voting for McCain. However, I really did hope Bob got up and slammed that fuckin Brit. I wish Bob would have gotten up there and made a comment regarding the Republican Bashing, and the Bashing of OUR PRESIDENT. I didn't expect it, but I would have loved to see it...
MTV should be ashamed of itself... No fucking guts.. This was more spineless and gutless then what those fucking hoebags the Dixie Chicks did...
I didnt watch it All I do know is just becouse someone is famous says vote for who ever I will always vote for who I believe is best,I think Bob does just fine! its not our buisness who he vote for,but I believe I got enough brains to know what is right for my family.But it may not be right for someone ele's.
I don't bother with award programs, they're always disappointing.
Wow. I am not even American but I certainly would not want to see the US "fall apart" Can't really beleive you said that.
I agree with Detroitrocker...what a slap in my face for that idiot to talk about OUR up coming presidential election when he has no voting status here...whether MTV bigwigs are Democrats or not...They were attempting to stir up controversy...If I wanted to watch politics I woulda tuned into CNN. Raspy or not Kid Rock is always worth seeing despite alot of the other crap I listened to on that stage last night.
And disagree all you want, he did it for exposure.. You do not get paid to perform on that shit show....
This shows exactly why I could never vote for a Democrat, why the Liberals of the world are soo far off the beaten path, and Why anyone who supports Democrats or liberals need to really need to look deep into their soul. First off, its no surprise that MTV and its execs are liberal douch bags, but to hire a Brit to host the show and allow him to make comments about our President, Our Country, and tell American's who to vote for, well, thats an automatic turn off for me. You see, WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD LOOK AT THAT GUY, HEAR HIM SPEAK, and say, Yes, I want to vote for who this guy tells me to vote for..
Even the liberal goofballs in the crowd had to be burying their faces in their laps, as this guy was not only NOT FUNNY, he was classless.
I am telling you, I am starting to Hope Obama wins this election, just to shut people up, and watch this country fall apart... It will be cool to see the White House on Cribs, and maybe we can start playing slave reperations...
