Except for Kid Rock, I've never heard ofcany of the other "performers."

MAGA must be throwing a Super Bowl sized fit that Bad Bunny had three wins, including Album of the Year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, becoming the first Spanish-language album to receive the honor. MAGA whining may have even helped him win. Pooor pooor bigots.

Just 6 days until the big game. Billions will watch while the viewership for EriKa KirK's White alternative half time show will be pathetic. Wiki doesn't even mention it.

Debí Tirar Más Fotos translates as 'I Should Have Taken More Photos'. There's no song by that name on the album, so I'm going to guess that the title is meant both literally and metaphorically, ironically a sentiment that I believe all of us of any political persuasion share.

Bad Bunny is gonna be quaking.

Except for Kid Rock, I've never heard of any of the other "performers."

Ditto.

That's too effing funny.

I thought I was joking.

In case y'all ever DJ a funeral -

What song is inappropriate to play at a funeral?
AI Overview

Inappropriate funeral songs often have lyrics about death, the devil, or are overly celebratory, making them unsuitable for a somber occasion. Examples include "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen, "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC, and "Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead". Other examples are songs like "Stayin' Alive," "Happy," and "(Don't Fear) The Reaper," due to their upbeat or thematically unfitting nature.

Songs about death or the afterlife

"Another One Bites the Dust": by Queen
"Highway to Hell": by AC/DC
"Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead": from The Wizard of Oz
"(Don't Fear) The Reaper": by Blue Öyster Cult
"Death on Two Legs": by Queen
"I'm Not Gonna Miss You": by Glen Campbell

Songs with a celebratory or dismissive tone

"I Will Survive": by Gloria Gaynor

Songs with potentially offensive lyrics

Turnstile is an American rock band from Baltimore, Maryland, formed in 2010....

GoMDGo

Guitarist Meg Mills is from East London, UK, O Really.

... Their fourth album Never Enough was released in 2025 and charted in the top 10 of five countries, including the U.S. The album received five Grammy nods as Turnstile became the first band to be nominated in the rock, alternative, and metal categories in the same year. The band took home the Grammy's for Best Metal Performance for their song "Birds" and Best Rock Album on February 1, 2026.

TURNSTILE - BIRDS

Not my flavor, but good on them for winning.

I can see why Meg Mills would be invited, but what happened to "all American"? Isn't she a furriner and maybe ILLEGAL?

It's "an American rock band". No one said "all American" or "all Maryland". Baltimore clearly captured a talented Brit. America wins, again. You might know better than me but I have the impression that artists with jobs have no trouble getting unlimited work visas.

[O Really]

Yes, but since immigration laws are being made up as they go along and currently enforced only against Brown people, I'd say anybody who looks like her is safe.

So, don't put 'reggae' or 'mariachi' band on the visa application.

Will Kid Rock be singing his song “Cool, Daddy Cool”? The song is featured on the 2001 soundtrack for the movie Osmosis Jones and … well, folks … the lyrics are something else as a whole, but the real issue comes in Verse 3.

“Young ladies, young ladies, I like ‘em underage,” Rock sings on the track. “See some say that’s statutory.”

His sidekick at the time, the late Joe-C then chimes in, “But I say it’s mandatory.”

Who are the 5 billionaire musicians?

I got 4 correct, but had no clue as to the 5th.

Spoiler:

Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Bruce Springsteen, with Jay-Z leading in wealth, followed by Swift and then Rihanna as the first female artist billionaire, with Beyoncé and Springsteen recently joining the exclusive club.

The Boss. Forbes adds Jimmy Buffett to the list. That's a lot of margaritas.

Hoping their generosity exceeds their talent.

Kid Rock’s ‘MAGA fest’ cancels date after artists pull out following backlash

Rock the Country Festival, a music tour launched by Kid Rock and labelled a "MAGA fest," has cancelled its upcoming stop in Anderson, South Carolina.

Not far. Darn it, I was looking forward to rocking out.

The cancellation occurred after several artists, including Ludacris, Morgan Wade, and Shinedown, withdrew from the lineup due to fan backlash and concerns about creating "further division."

Festival organisers stated they were "truly disappointed" but refused to put on a show that "doesn’t meet the standard they deserve" for their fans.

Translation: Kid Rock+ doesn't achieve basic standards.

Anderson County Administrator Rusty Burns expressed disappointment, highlighting the event's significant economic impact on the region in previous years.

Ticket holders for the cancelled South Carolina date can either transfer their tickets to another festival stop with a merchandise voucher or request a full refund.

MAGA is bad for business.

Festival organizers said the South Carolina stop was canceled because ‘Our fans work hard for their money, and we refuse to put on a show that doesn’t meet the standard they deserve’

What is wrong with EriKa KirK that this is who she puts on stage representing TP?

... See me cruisin' in my Caddy
Hoes, they like to call me daddy ...

... You know I got that gangster lean
Hoes, they all adore me
I stop and they all swarm me
To check out all my fly gold rings
They treat me like the mayor
'Cause I'm the biggest player
(Mackin' all honeys up here in the D, baby) You know I do ...

I remember well when that song came out. And it has just the right amount of cowbell
I was in high school at the time. Less than three months later Ohio National Guard troops killed four anti war protesters at Kent State.

Played the whole thing through. Forgot how good it really is. Use earbuds or headset. Turn it up. Enjoy.

When I was in LA recently I did the Warner Brothers Classic Films Tour ( it was fun!).

Went right past that spot, although I think I took that from the opposite side. Even the tour guide pointed it out.
