    Who would want to pay $1000 to be close enough to Kid Rock to smell the cigarette smoke and beer sweat?

    Jerk is surprised that the jerks he hangs out with won’t go to his jerk festival because, unbelievable as it is, they turn out to be jerks.

    Wow.

    "Not only will they never get a favor from me again, they do not have Bulldog immunity.”

    Is this something I would have to have a bulldogovision to know about?

    More seriously, doesn’t this make it obvious that the structure of authoritarianism is really just a small collection of powerful people? They’re not an unstoppable force. They’re weaker than they look.

      I looked bulldog immunity up on ddg and urban dictionary and found nothing. Maybe deters’ bulldogs will no longer consider those people unthreatening?

      But there’s a huge difference in how intimidating bulldogs are and my default mental “bulldog” is a French bulldog or [inaccurately, but I definitely still picture it] Boston terrier, so I’d be more worried about them if I had a piece of cheese on me.

    Is this the same one as last time? I feel like I’ve read this headline like five times. Are they still trying to make this happen?

      Mid Rock is still trying.

      The last one was the Rock the Country tour that had his major SC event cancelled but continues to go on, though ticket sales are pretty weak apparently with them now offering tickets at half price and here’s the list of bands you can make fun/boycott for continuing being horrible human beings, and yes Nickelback is on there.

        Always disappointing to be reminded that the husk of Lynyrd Skynyrd is still out there making a mockery of their legacy. There’s a good chance the original band, releasing their music today, would be labeled as woke. What with the anti-drug, anti-gun, and anti-racism themes.

          Nelly was a bit MAGA curious during Trump’s first term from what I can remember back in STL and then went full MAGA this term when he played at Trump’s inauguration.

    Oh man I was really hoping for this to be a failure as it was happening so I could see it, not a failure before it even started. Oh well thanks for the laughs anyway conservatives!

    I wonder if half the problem is that the line up didn’t ever change. I imagine the pool of musicians to choose from here is pretty small. Who wants to see Kid Rock 4 years in a row?

    former Kentucky GOP gubernatorial candidate and event host Eric Deters, who throws the event on his farm, said on Facebook Monday. “When I put together Patriot State Freedom Fest, I put it together with the game plan and the idea that I could pay for it with the VIP sales of $1,000 from these hundred people that I interact with on a regular basis that have money.”

    A former governor and massive land holder willing to slum it at a kid rock concert with the thousandaires. A real man of the people.

    Wait, people went to it in the past? Ha ha ha ha

    The Freedom Fest began in 2022 and has drawn large crowds in the past, while featuring speakers like Donald Trump Jr., Candace Owens, and Eric Trump. But this year saw a massive drop in VIP ticket sales and general interest, possibly due to Trump’s horrendous approval rating, rising costs tied to the Iran war, or an oversaturation of MAGA events (like that barely watched Republican midterm convention). Either way, Deters is pissed, lashing out at people whom he apparently expected to attend.
