Kid Rock
I remember smirking at the fact that Zell Miller was going to be speaking at the RNC Convention — the same convention where Kid Rock would be performing.
Said Zell Miller regarding Kid Rock‘s performance at the Superbowl back in January, on the Senate floor.:
“The thing that yanked my chain the hardest was seeing that ignoramus with his pointed head stuck up through a hole he had cut in the flag of the United States of America, screaming about having ‘a bottle of scotch and watching lots of crotch.’ Think about that. This is the same flag that we pledge allegiance to. This is the flag that is draped over coffins of dead young uniformed warriors killed while protecting Kid Crock’s bony butt. He should be tarred and feathered, and ridden out of this country on a rail. Talk about a good reality show, there’s one for you.”
But Kid Rock did sign some celebrity-petition of “pro-war” celebrities, and his “hyper redneckity” marks him as Republican. But, I guess he’s not completely partisan, as suggested by the lyrics from “Pimp of the Nation”.
Pimp of the Nation, I could be it
As a matter of a fact, I for see it
But only pimpin hoes with the big tush
While you be left pimpin Barbra Bush
AND
I have hoes like horses in a stable
Rich, famous, willing, and able
First off Ja Ja Kubore and tiffer gore
Is my highest paid whore
“Whore” rhymes with “Gore”. “Tush” rhymes with “Bush”.
Kid Rock will be performing at George W Bush’s Inagural Gala (where, incidentally, he won’t be allowed to look in Bush’s direction — and I did not make that up.) I have two thoughts: (1) He’s probably not going to be singing “Pimp of the Nation”, but if he did it could be a sweet harbinder of a bi-partisan olive branch. (2) Maybe Bill Clinton had it right with Fleetwood Mac (“music your older sister listened to”), after all.
