White Trash Woodstock
No it wasn't the Indy 500.
I have to say as much as I really enjoy the new KID ROCK album and think the band has a phenomenal stage show, the demographic his music caters to sure leaves a lot to be desired.
Getting to tithe show was 1/2 the battle but once there I was greeted to an array of picketers protesting the fact that KID ROCK wore an American flag at a recent awards show. There is a lot more going on in this country to protest than KID ROCK fashioning a flag to boast his American pride. So after trading verbal punches with these poor mislead people I walked into hillbilly hell. Why I though any different is beyond me. I have not been in a midst of such middle America ignorance in a very long time.
Lets see: Monster trucks, turkey fryers, strippers dancing onstage and red white and blue. Oh shit I'm lucky I wasn't lynched. The guy does glamorize White trash afterall.
I handed out hundreds of fliers for Greg release party next week at Liars Club and nobody could fathom the idea free beer. I guess they don't get into the city much.Nobody believed me and all thought there was a catch. I said the only catch is to listen to the album.I was actually harasses by security for soliciting, and I said it's not soliciting if it's FREE. And they said, "Two words, Clear Channel." So I was a little more discreet about it.
So KID ROCK in conccert awesome. An arena full of his fans: never again.
Should have went to see Fashion Bomb.
