Related: About this forumKid Rock's Festival Is Dying. His Steakhouse Can't Cook. His Helicopter Still Flies. - The Logical Leftist
Rock the Country Kid Rock's festival slashed ticket prices 50% on April 15th. The fans who already paid full price got screwed. The official reason? "Rising fuel costs." Translation: the tariffs that Kid Rock's president imposed are now making it too expensive for his fanbase to drive to his shows.
The kitchen at his Nashville steakhouse couldn't cook the night ICE swept through south Nashville last May. The workers he campaigned to deport went home. The restaurant built on immigrant labor, licensed by a man who called immigrants "rapists" from the concert stage, couldn't function the moment immigration enforcement actually arrived.
Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shut down an Army investigation into Apache helicopter joyrides at Kid Rock's house. Then the New York Times confirmed they did it again yesterday. Taxpayer-funded military assets, used for one celebrity's entertainment, while his own fans can't afford gas money.
The "blue-collar rebel" was raised in a 5,000-square-foot home on six acres. His dad was a millionaire car dealership owner. He grew up on the inheritance, not the factory floor.
This is the MAGA economy running exactly as designed. Just not for him.
