I don't think 'being a dick' is the issue here at all, because i could see myself sharing a beer with Bob Ritchie, Angus Young, AND Luke Skywalker, no problemo. I think it'd be hard, however, to get through a round without punching Julian Casablancas, Ryan Adams, or Christian Aguilera in the fucking face.

i'm suggesting i've heard alot more music that wouldn't have happened without 2 live crew lately than i've music that wouldn't have happened without ac/dc (though i have heard 2 live crew on the radio lately also)

Do you really consider 2 Live Crew that influential? I don't claim to be a hip hop historian by any stretch, but that doesn't sound entirely credible to me. But hey....whatever mows your lawn. Kid Rock, meanwhile, is almost a bizarre hybrid of 2 Live Crew and AC/DC.

I think Uncle Kracker needs to make a rekkid with Sugar Ray. It would blow up on VH1.

Records made out of frying medium (instead of cheese, see).

Alex nailed just what I like about Kid Rock.

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:35 (twenty-two years ago)

My initial point was that Kid Rock seems just unlikeable to me. He seems like a belligerent, jingoistic, too patriotic redneck. I don't know about you, but I find those characteristics a bit repellant. Thus, I'm not fond of him (I don't think I'd say I hate him,....I reserve that verb for other artists). But, as far as I'm concerned, there are plenty of reasons not to like him.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:35 (twenty-two years ago)

haha - jess i think he's trying to get as close to 'skywalker' as he can without arousing lucas

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:36 (twenty-two years ago)

alex ts: lil jon vs. the darkness

Don't really know enough about either, but I certainly prefer Lil Jon's "Get Low" to the Darkness' "Thing Called Love" (the only songs I've heard from either).

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Gents, I have to retire for the evening. I'm sure you have lots of slings and arrows with my Kid Rock-disrespecting name on'em, but they'll have to wait `til tomorrow. Cheers.

I bet my left testicle that after Hank Jr. croaks Kid Rock takes over the "Are You Ready For Some Football?!" gig on Monday Night Football.

― ben welsh (benwelsh), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:38 (twenty-two years ago)

he's not a redneck, he grew up in a mansion. If anything, his faux-populism is what annoys me, but maybe he's just reflecting the times.

― hstencil, Monday, 15 December 2003 04:38 (twenty-two years ago)

that was SO EASY!

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:38 (twenty-two years ago)

i dont know where that extra "one" came from.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Man, I hope it was on one of those really fake 'country house' sets with dandruff snow and a roaring fireplace, or it would be shit.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Can't we just have those hair crimpy things that made stars in your locks instead?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:46 (twenty-two years ago)

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:46 (twenty-two years ago)

If they were dayglo.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I watched. Just for Hank JR and the Kid deep frying a turkey, total classic. The live stuff was tough to sit through though, a bit too 'live action Simpsons' for me

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:47 (twenty-two years ago)
