He's not trying to pass the song off as rap, he's trying to pass the song off as country. That's why he played it at the Country Music Awards...
Modern country music is the lexicon of foul, ugly, and painful music. It's a steaming pile of pseudo-pop sappiness sang with an overblown and nauseatingly excessive twang. Just to be sure that it fullfills the current Nashville stencil for ****ty and repetitive tripe, they also include a "gag-me-with-a-wooden-spoon" quantity of steel guitar played with just enough flair to make celine dion proud. That being said, Kid Rock makes modern country look like Mozart by comparison. In conclusion, **** kid rock. He sucks. If you like or even find his "music" tolerable you are probably both tone deaf and r****ded by all clinical standards. Tangent: I was surfing youtube, the domain of the most idiotic comments ever posted on the internet, and came across the following exchange: randomyoutubeuseridiot: That guy looks slighty retarted. randomyoutubeuseridiot: (replying to himself) I meant slightly, now I look retarted. How awesome is that?
I just read the lyrics...Northern Michigan and Alabama.....hmmmm, yeah that doesn’t sound real country.....but then again, I'm not a fan.
When we were in Sweden in August, they played this song over and over and over. That was probably the one thing I disliked about the place.
May I add Carrie Underwood's "Last Name"? This song makes me ill. At least All Summer Long has a few chords I like.
CREDIBILITY GONE. Seriously, go check out a Manny Ramirez thread or something. I would probably use your iPod to wipe my Kid Rock.
Country has no-talent crap artists getting pushed onto the masses just like rock and hip hop. It isn't immune as a genre. And I actually like Kid Rock. Not a lot, but he's all right. I guess.
The fact that you brought up ipod tells me all I need to know about your musical taste. Real audiophiles listen to music on vinyl, not no crappy ipods digital bull****.
So are you spinning a Kid Rock 45 right now as we speak? You're hardcore! Even if I listened to nothing but Soulja Boy and Nickelback or whatever the **** the idiot kids listen to these days that doesn't change the fact that you said "All Summer Long" is currently better than 90% of music out there. You win moron of the week, which is pretty hard to top considering Donovan McNabb. Kid Rock Sucks, You Suck, and That song especially sucks. DEAL. WITH. IT.
Of course there's plenty of better songs and artists for that matter. However, somehow I feel that you and I have vastly different tastes in music. Seeing how I own Glen Campbell's Big Bluegrass Special and you probably didn't know he did anything but Rhinestone Cowboy. Do you know who Cowboy Jack Clement is? Townes Van Zandt does and so does Johnny Cash and so do I. Do you own anything from Vanguard records? I am sure you don't, what about the Staple Singers or Carla Thomas or the Mighty Clouds of Joy? Do you know who Wayne Shorter is or how about Jimmy Heath or the Falcons or maybe you know the jazz album Kenny Dorham Una Mas? You don't know that one either? Have you ever heard of Paul Gonsalves? Let me give you a clue he played one of the most important jazz solos ever. Have you ever heard of Black Brown and Beige and the importance of that music to the cannon of Duke Ellington. I. Seriously. Doubt. It.
Furthermore to this beer... Have you hear the Last Poets? The Coup? Organized Konfusion? Edan? Cannibal Ox? Liquid Swords? Freestyle Fellowship? Shall I waste more of my fingertips?
We have a new challenger for biggest music snob on the board. The competition is fierce. Good luck, my friend.
