Kid Rock Doesn’t Get Beyoncé: Where’s Her “Sweet Home Alabama”?
Oh, Kid Rock. In a new Rolling Stone profile terrifyingly called “The Killer Inside Kid Rock,” our favorite love-to-hate glass dildo recipient spews his stereotypical red-state, misogynistic bullshit. Stuff like “I bought it when Obummer came into office, because I’m thinking, ‘What if he fuckin’ bans guns?” and “‘Hey, what do all women want in life?’ I’m being a smartass, I’m like, ‘A big dick and a new car.'” Charming! While most of the article is dedicated to watching him hunt or drink beer, when he does decide to talk about some music, it’s not much better. He had some choice words for Beyoncé, in particular:
Rock sometimes seems like a right-wing politician catering to his base. He won’t play Europe or mainstream U.S. festivals, but he will play SeaWorld. His fans love it when he shouts things like “Fuck Radiohead” onstage or attacks mainstream pop. He’s “flabbergasted” by Beyoncé worship. “Beyoncé, to me, doesn’t have a fucking ‘Purple Rain,’ but she’s the biggest thing on Earth. How can you be that big without at least one ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ or ‘Old Time Rock & Roll’? People are like, ‘Beyoncé’s hot. Got a nice fucking ass.’ I’m like, ‘Cool, I like skinny white chicks with big tits.’ Doesn’t really fucking do much for me.”
Great! At least he knows how to play it up for his fanbase? Which, by the way, he describes as “45-50-year-old girls wearing extra-large T-shirts — they’re my bread and butter.”
You can read the full profile here. It’s an interesting read, if only for entertaining out-of-context sentences like, “As Gabe makes turkey sandwiches and Rock makes small talk, his girlfriend, Audrey, arrives in a pickup truck, just back from Walmart.” Enjoy!
