    My favorite Kid Cock moment was when the video of him shooting a case of Bud Light with an AR was immediately followed by a video of him drinking a Bud Light at his club a week later. Fucking rage bait sissy cowboy wannabe.

                I’m so old I remember MPEG-2.

                (MP3 is actually used for audio in the MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 standards.)

                (As for current codecs, basically Opus is all you need. It’s especially fit for voice, like in podcasts and audiobooks, which it can encode pretty well with a very low bitrate.)

      Kid Rock is what happens when your dad owns a bunch of car dealerships and you’re raised on an estate with an orchard but want to cosplay being a poor white kid.

      I’m not even joking.

        B-b-b-but… he’s a cowboy… baby?

        He’s just a low-talent, modern-day Alice Cooper, but with even fewer morals. He figured out what sells and sold it. He’s a musical car salesman.

          Did Alice Cooper do something that I’m unaware of? My impression was that he’s much, much less terrible than Kid Rock.

            He’s not awful, but his entire schtick is 100% manufactured and not indicative of who he is whatsoever, much like Kid Rock.

      He did not, his people said he was put on the list without his knowledge.

      Ludacris’ rep claimed it was “a mix-up” that he was ever part of the lineup in the first place.

                What do you mean by this? I think it’s worth reminding the living that their reputation could irreversibly be tarnished for eternity if they don’t wake up while living.

            Mac was never maga, he came out with the Donald Trump single when he was just the “business” guy on TV; his Obama birther bs coincidentally started nearly concurrently with release of the song. Mac was outspoken calling Trump a douche

                Mac probably wasn’t aware of all this at the time he made it when he was a teenager. Most people back then just saw Trump as the tv show businessman ‘your fired’ rich guy. Lots of rappers before Mac made songs that also named dropped Trump as well.

              I think on a moral level that Trump is not fundamentally different from Hitler, and I also think Diddy had the same reasons for supporting Trump, so I’m going to go ahead and keep him on the list.

      In 1998, he released a Rap-Rock album with metal and southern rock influences called Devil Without a Cause that was widely considered an exemplar of rap-rock and played heavily into his then Redneck Pimp stage persona. It was critically acclaimed with most professional reviewers giving 4/5 stars or 80/100 and better scores while selling ultimately over 11 million copies. And it had some legit bangers (even if they’re hard to listen to now with what a shit bag he’s either become or revealed himself to be).

      Later he transitioned away from rap-rock toward country, Southern rock, and blues while adopting shitty conservative politics to go with his new stage persona. This is what most people know him for now.

            No I think he means Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon.

            And calling it a cover is generous. He stole the music but replaced the lyrics with some boomer content.

      He was a huge one-hit wonder (?) as far as I knew who later made a sex tape with Pam Anderson. I would think a few Gen X and Gen Y might remember that. Oh, and he had appearances in shows like Simpsons and cameos in movies. The only movie I sort of remember him in is Joe Dirt.

      I doubt many boomers or Gen Z/alpha know him for anything other than getting butthurt about Bud Light.

          I don’t think there was a Kid Rock/Pamela Anderson sex tape.

          And the Tommy Lee sex tape was stolen and leaked without either Pamela or Tommy’s permission. When Pamela tried to sue the distributor the judge basically said “Well you posed topless for Playboy before, so this sex tape is hardly going to further damage your career”. Massively misogynistic and it really messed her life up.

          Bellville is an hour west of Houston in a town of 5000. Houston has several very large venues that could host festivals. Either it was so poorly planned that they didn’t get any of them on time, the attendance is expected to be so low that the venues wouldn’t deal with them, or they’re trying to stay out of the mainstream spotlight because they’re embarrassed about something.

          It’s still close enough that people from Houston, especially on the west side, could easily go, but there’s got to be a reason they went an hour west instead of up in The Woodlands at Cynthia Woods or right in the middle of everything at Toyota or even a smaller place like White Oak Music Hall.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
