Kid Rock: I'm Embarrassed to Be a Republican - Yahoo! TV

Even though Kid Rock went red in the last election, he's not entirely on board with the current GOP agenda.

The rocker, who threw his support behind Mitt Romney in the 2012 election, is now sounding off against the Republicans, who have supported various acts of legislation in Congress to raise concert ticket prices.

Kid Rock and President Obama: "No hard feelings" after election
"That's one of the times I'm f---ing embarrassed to be a Republican," Rock tells Rolling Stone. "It's f---ing Republican lawmakers passing those laws, you dumba--es. They already did it in New York and they're trying to do it in Michigan. I've even called some of those guys to try and stop it."

Of course, he also directed his vitriol at Ticketmaster, for their use of service charges. "They're taking a f---ing $5 service charge," he says, also noting he's more of a Libertarian than a Republican these days. "It's 25 percent of the f---ing ticket! That's f---ed up, but I've beaten them up as much as I can. Then Walmart stepped in and agreed to charge just $20, and it includes parking."

Will you be attending his $20 concert?

Yes, prices of Kid Rock concert tickets are obviously one of the most pressing issues the country faces.

Raising ticket prices is what kills shows and touring in certain areas, guys like him who perform live really rely on that kind of thing and when not enough tickets are sold or comped hes forced to cancel in a certain area or vicinity. the service charges for no reason effects other things residually and hes actually trying to protect people from needless bullshyt charges just to attend a concert, kid rock is honestly a cool dude and is very down to earth, far more than some of the rappers you guys love so much. While i realize most of the posts in here are going to be people going at him personally, i can honestly say kid rock is one of the more educated and thoughtful musicians ive come across. hes not as dumb as he looks and hes very approachable.

when you order a ticket online the service charges are stupid and redundant and literally serve no fukking purpose.

while i see someone saying "the country has more pressing issues" the idea that companies can charge you for literally no reason and hes saying something about it should be commended.

while there are important issues to address, hes addressing an issue within his rhealm and affects himself and his fans.

I really think the Libtard card is a cop out.


The point Mr.Rock is making is that Republicans aren't supposed to be raising taxes and be fiscally responsible.

:rolleyes:


Seems like a cool guy, not into his music.
