Kid Rock storms off Nashville stage when audience won't clap


https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/kid-rock-cuts-nashville-performance-182134575.html

"Singer and rapper Kid Rock stormed off stage at a Nashville performance this weekend, cutting his performance short when the audience didn't clap along.

On Saturday night, the "All Summer Long" artist appeared as a special guest at the birthday party for David Bryan, Jon Bon Jovi's keyboard player, at Bon Jovi's Nashville bar.

Kid Rock came onstage for a cover of "Proud Mary" by Creedence Clearwater Revival alongside a band that included Bryan himself, but stopped the song halfway through due to a lack of audience participation.

"F*** them," he said. "Hey, hey, stop ... if you ain’t gonna clap, we ain’t gonna sing. That’s how it’s gonna go.”...(more)

Kid Rock started clapping his hands over his head, showing the audience how he wanted them to participate. After resuming the performance, some audience members clapped along, but the amount of crowd participation wasn't up to par for Rock.

He cut off the song again, saying, “You know what, f*** y’all. You ain’t gonna clap, I’m gone.”

Two successful recording artists that can't play a lick!
They were meant to work together.
BonJovi could have had way better than Bryan.

That's entirely up to each individuals interpretation. Bobbie Ritchie is a talentless douche, in my opinion. Other's opinions may vary.

As far as I can tell John Fogerty is a life long liberal and issued a cease and desist letter in 2020 when the Trump campaign frequently used fortunate Son and Fogerty sung proud Mary way better then Kid Rock anyway.
