Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Holy Hell Maury Phillips, WireImage Damned if you do, damned if you don't. That's the lesson that Kid Rock learned on Wednesday night when he went ahead with a scheduled show in Little Rock, Ark. despite severe wintery conditions outside the venue. Rock subscribes to the philosophy that "the show must go on" and, thus, despite the treacherous weather he decided to deliver his show to fans [...]

Wow: we're about three-quarters through 2008. And because I am a blogger and enjoy both creating arbitrary segments of time for my own writing purposes and the compilation of shamelessly subjective lists, I have ( yet another ) one of the latter for one of the former. Fun stuff if you follow. My Ten Songs of the Summer Remember that I promised this ? 10. "No Air," Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown [...]

It's been quite a long time since we looked at the current singles charts, so this week we're going to use the BBC Radio 1 Chart Show list and pick on the Top 10. #10: Biffy Clyro, "Mountains" ( YouTube link ) To be honest, I don't get Biffy Clyro. There's nothing bad about this, I just don't understand the total devotion some people have with this band. In any case, they've dropped two positions since last week but are still rocking out in the Top 10. [...]

Woke up this morning, bitched to myself about it still being dark outside, brewed some coffee, fired up the PC, and got down with some Kid Rock: Now, I'm not Kid Rock's biggest fan. I've found a lot of his previous output to be boorish, at best. However, I do have a deep appreciation for what he's always tried to do: find that super-elusive meeting of community between hip-hop, rock and country. And with this particular song, I think he's finally made a listenable [...]

"Sweet Home Alabama" + "Werewolves Of London" + cheesy good ol' boy rapping = HIT!!!! 1!

I've bitched about this song and will continue to bitch, but I have to grudgingly admire anything that takes the License To Ill obvious sample pile-up aesthetic and updates it for deadbeat dads with beer guts. Plus, that "Werewolves Of London" backdrop is a hell of a lot more enjoyable than anything Kid Rock's done in years. Shameless pandering of this scope takes balls and, these days, a bankroll.

America, please resist. It's going to be tough, but I need to ask you to say no to a song that mixes "Sweet Home Alabama," "Werewolves Of London" and "Night Moves" into a new "Summer Of '69 ." Please, avoid downloading this, leave this type of summer jam (God, I beg you, don't let this be one) to Uncle Kracker, and take the effort to listen to the aforementioned four chestnuts separately. Maybe that way we can force Kid Rock to abandon his boring-ass country-rock troubadour shtick and go back to rapping about how he needs to smoke three [...]
