    My favorite Kid Cock moment was when the video of him shooting a case of Bud Light with an AR was immediately followed by a video of him drinking a Bud Light at his club a week later. Fucking rage bait sissy cowboy wannabe.

      He did not, his people said he was put on the list without his knowledge.

      https://ew.com/ludacris-drops-out-of-rock-the-country-festival-lineup-after-fan-backlash-11887716

      Ludacris’ rep claimed it was “a mix-up” that he was ever part of the lineup in the first place.

            Is there any comprehensive list like this for all boycotts? All art, brands, etc.

            Mac was never maga, he came out with the Donald Trump single when he was just the “business” guy on TV; his Obama birther bs coincidentally started nearly concurrently with release of the song. Mac was outspoken calling Trump a douche

              I think on a moral level that Trump is not fundamentally different from Hitler, and I also think Diddy had the same reasons for supporting Trump, so I’m going to go ahead and keep him on the list.

      Rock the Country has sparked backlash after social media users presumed that the festival is affiliated with the “Make America Great Again” conservative movement fueled by President Donald Trump. (Concert organizers have not publicly addressed its political affiliations.)

      And fyi it’s only the Anderson, South Carolina stop that’s been cancelled. It’s still hitting 7 other towns/cities.

          Bellville is an hour west of Houston in a town of 5000. Houston has several very large venues that could host festivals. Either it was so poorly planned that they didn’t get any of them on time, the attendance is expected to be so low that the venues wouldn’t deal with them, or they’re trying to stay out of the mainstream spotlight because they’re embarrassed about something.

          It’s still close enough that people from Houston, especially on the west side, could easily go, but there’s got to be a reason they went an hour west instead of up in The Woodlands at Cynthia Woods or right in the middle of everything at Toyota or even a smaller place like White Oak Music Hall.

            As a native Houstonian, it pleases me to see that the Houston Trump Burger was forced to close… after the owner was deported by ICE.

          Ocalas grown a good bit lately. It was blowing up locally pre-covid and was one of the cities that saw a lot of transplants when people started flooding the state in the last few years. The city proper only has ~75k people in it but Marion county has ~400k and a large chunk of that remaining population is likely within 30 minutes of the city
