Kid Rock has booked the likes of Foreigner and Grand Funk Railroad - and a Jason Bonham curated Led Zeppelin nostalgia set - to variously support him on his current US tour, which kicked off last week. Though’s he’s also booked another heritage act known for milking the nostalgia circuit with a certain Donald Trump popping up to deliver some classic waffle especially for Kid Rock's fans, albeit via a pre-recorded video message at the start of the show.
“Hello, everyone", that Trump message begins. "I love you all. I know you’re having a great time at the Kid Rock concert tonight. Quite frankly, he’s amazing. All of you in attendance are truly the backbone of our great country. Hard-working, God-fearing rock-and-roll patriots".
Trump, of course, is a big fan of Kid Rock's music. Well, maybe. Possibly. Yeah, probably not. It seems unlikely he's ever actually heard a Kid Rock track, doesn’t it? But one thing is for certain, Donald Trump is definitely a big fan of Kid Rock being a big fan of Donald Trump.
“Bob is truly one of the greatest entertainers of our time", Trump waffles on in his video message. "Not the best golfer by any means, his golf game could use a little work, but a great, great entertainer, and that’s why you’re there. Let’s all continue to love one another, fight for our God-given freedoms, and most of all, let’s make America rock again".
