Kid Rock in real life is playing a few amphitheaters according to his official website

Complete insanity. None of these dates are real on any of the posters. Hundreds of likes and comments on each. Conservative America is a simulation on par with The Matrix.

And more (for the alt text here just imagine AI generated Kid Rock tour posters for worldwide cities featuring Bob Seger, Sheryl Crow, Ice T and others)

Fell into a rabbit hole this morning investigating fake AI generated announcements of Kid Rock world tours that do not exist. The amount of time and money being put into making this guy look successful is bizarre and troubling.

Texas's "10 Commandments in the Classroom" thing is a good reminder to let folks know that the contentious 10 Commandments granite monuments in US courthouses were created as a marketing gimmick for the 1956 Charlton Heston movie (a fact I learned in a book about bookplates, of all things)

Jen Yamato tweeting “shout out to the guy doing sex shooter in prince’s honor at karaoke right now I think”

I loved Prince more than most things. And I got blackout drunk at a karaoke tribute to him the night he died. Had no idea what happened until I read Twitter the next morning and remembered… oh yeah, that was me

If you wade into the comment sections of Instagram and Facebook the common line about this doc from MJ fans is “it was debunked”. Much like how the Trump folks on those sites debate reality.

Top 5 Prince songs:
She’s Always In My Hair
Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?
When You Were Mine
I Would Die 4 U
The Beautiful Ones

This is completely lost to time but Pitchfork had an open file directory someone found in 2002 that was full of notes RS was keeping for a potential book. It involved Fat Manifesto and notes like “take back Fat like Black people did the N word”

So he decided against Fat Manifesto: The Time Mom Threw The Coke At Me?

Started a new account there for promo reasons and the feed it gave me by default is full of “Should Fauci get the death penalty?” “20 Million illegals are stealing your money” “Sign here if you think Hillary should be in jail” just an insane garbage platform by default

no one would throw you out of a bar for playing Cowboy Song on the jukebox too many times

The good guy like Elon Musk, pointing at employees and saying “I want you to have my baby” because they were constantly hopped up on a drug cocktail

are you fucking kidding me

He never had a childhood!
(300 photos of him at Studio 54)

Blowing things up and yelling “I’m ICE” is one way to change the conversation I guess

IIRC they show the opening “Rosebud” utterance, then they show the dialogue near the end “I guess we’ll never know what Rosebud is” etc, and then the sled being thrown in. So they went out of their way to show you “here’s what the movie is about and how it ends”

They show the ending during the AFI 100 Movies special and that’s what ruined it for me. Kind of counterintuitive as that list brought it to a whole new audience who immediately had it ruined

AND THEN Lollapalooza offered a coheadling spot with Smashing Pumpkins. That would have provided financial security but would have been humiliating. In the reissue booklet Corgan confirma Luna is about Courtney (the song that says “I’m in love with you” ten times”) and the Real Sex sample is gone.

This is a reverse-conspiracy really: Kurt Cobain killed himself because Billy Corgan made fun of his weird dick with a spoken word interlude on Siamese Dream, a sample from Real Sex about a guy who just masturbates during sex. Then Siamese Dream started outselling In Utero by spring 94.

Guys I got everything I was looking for this Record Store Day (the Sonic Youth Diamond Sea megamix and the Albini Slint mixes) and all I had to do was be pure of heart and possess $60

It's Kevin's unbearable blonde-girl-in-all-pink know-it-all sister who officiously incorrectly calls him "les incompetents" in Home Alone. In this case, she's waving her hand and the fake subtitle text reads, "Actual malice standard, you are what the Legal call 'Les up.'" I am VERY bored and probably have a cold and can't sleep, so this is what you get. They can't all be winners!

Now that Olivia Rodrigo has shot an entire video with Betacam cameras, I need to let everyone know in my opinion it is a format clueless folks use thinking it’s retro like “Betamax” and then they get back the resultant footage it looks TOO GOOD because it’s a broadcast format. Just use your phone!

“Not The Doctor” was right there if we’re talking Jagged Little Pill karaoke

Music For The Knee Plays was one of those classic $3 LPs you could confidently tell people was secretly great, and at this rate it will get a $40 180g reissue this year

David Byrne left so much ephemera in his wake and now it is all finally paying off

I would like to add something here post-Corgan having the Disturbed guy on the pod. A lot of his “working class” argument why people were weird to him on Lollapalooza is weasel words so he never has to admit to “I was talking like a Republican and they were mean to me” just like Trump’s “populism”
