Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy/My name is DAAAAAAAN, DAN FLYNN!!!
So Kid Rock isn't going to play at George W. Bush's second inauguration, after all. The debate amongst conservative bloggers has been rather spirited on this seemingly trivial controversy. Michelle Malkin leads the anti-Bawitdaba forces, slamming Kid Rock for racy lyrics and "ripping a hole in an American flag, wearing it as a poncho, tearing it off, and hurling it over his head." Protein Wisdom mocks the anti-Bawitdaba bloggers criticizing Kid Rock for donning an American-flag poncho. In jest, the site posts a picture of Captain America with his "package-hugging tights, suggestive codpiece, [and] improper use of patriotic accoutrements."
I think they're all missing something: shouldn't Kid Rock be running as fast from President Bush as President Bush is from him? Presidential inaugurations are for Liza Minnelli, Luther Vandross, Pat Boone, and Gordon Lightfoot. The entertainment is supposed to be safe and inoffensive. In other words, it's supposed to be everything that rock 'n' roll is not. Playing at the inaugural, Kid Rock? You don't get much more square than that. Do you want to kill your career? What would all your "heroes in the methadone clinic" say? Or how about your "homies in the county in cell block six"? Or the "hookers all tricking out in Hollywood," for that matter? Kid Rock singing for a bunch of old people in tuxedos and gowns? Joe C would not have approved.
Gonna miss Pam A at the big gala.
It was just a youth concert surrounding the inauguration, not the inauguration.
Yeah, Bill. I've seen inaugurations before. When people say Fleetwood Mac or Don Henley played Clinton's inauguration, they're not talking about the actual swearing-in ceremony but the broader concept of the inauguration--the parties that go with it.
GGGGGGrrrrrrr, I've never seen you so angry
"Ask not, what your country can do for you, ask what George Bush can do for illegal aliens".
I dunno...I think the "All you bastards at the IRS" line would go over rather well.
