Vanilla Ice is full blown MAGA and is letting the current admin use "Ice Ice Baby" as an I.C.E. theme song

The Ninja Turtles did not deserve this!

Martina McBride, Young MC, C+C Music Factory, Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli, The Commodores, Morris Day & The Time, Flo Rida, Bret Michaels . These are a few who are white Supremacists/adjacent and who worship Mammon.

Holy shit, he's snubbed while Milli Vanillin are included? That one's got to sting like a mf.

At this rate, the headliner will be one of Iskanka's kids hooting out "Hot Cross Buns" on an out-of-tune clarinet.

If you haven’t read this classic - read it now. It’s . . . well. Just read it.

I didn’t realize it until I got into the second paragraph, but I read this when it was originally published.

It is exactly as upsetting as when I read it originally.

The Rolling Stone is an extraordinary publication.

Milli Vanilli and Morris Day have said they don't know what the fuck Trump is taking about and they're not playing for him.

Edit: I was misinformed, Morris Day was scheduled and quit. Milli Vanilli is accurate though.

Maybe they did and retought it for reasons. And maybe the festival organizers are lying. Hard to say.

They said, so not really hard. Young MC has quit the show for instance, was scheduled to perform but told them to get fucked instead.

My ex wife's mom was a kid rock megafan. She had kid rock tshirts in heavy rotation, had kid rock bumper stickers on her car, and went to concerts as often as possible. She even had limited edition, rhinestone encrusted kid rock shoes. She was one of the dumbest people I've ever encountered and a real piece of shit person.

Several years after divorcing my wife she still texts me asking for money (she's a dirtbag gambling addict) despite fact I've ghosted her. I will never block her, because getting those texts is a sweet reminder that I've escaped my shitty ex's shitty family. Fuck you Linda, you hateful garbagemonster

I just need to say that he should be called Grampa Rock now. He looks rough

C'mon. He looks okay for someone in his mid-sixties.

Of course that would mean a lot more if he was in his mid-sixties.

Sadly I think they also bowed out. I was looking forward to it being just Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli because that would match the current level of poorly-aged cringe in the US.

I think Milli Vanilli considering the gig beneath them is even more delicious.

Wut.

According to this NYT article, Morris Day, Young MC, Martina McBride and the Commodores have all dropped out now, claiming to have been signed without understanding it was all a Trump thing, and the singer of the group currently using the Milli Vanilli name says they were not asked to perform at all. (No one's heard from the original Milli Vanilli guy, Fab Morvan.)

See my next comment itt.

Except for Flo Rida, Bret Michaels, and Vanilla Ice (known Trumpers), your list of "white supremacists" is complete horseshit.

Almost all of the names you listed have dropped out now, claiming that they did not know when they signed that it was for Trump's concert.

Also, it is laughable to even suggest that the Commodores, Young MC, or Morris Day and The Time are "white supremacists" in any way. These three acts all have a certain special something in common. Can you guess what that is?

EDITED TO ADD: Bret Michaels has now also dropped out as well, leaving only Flo Rida, Vanilla Ice, and possibly C+C Music Factory who are now "apparently weighing whether to perform," according to the updated article I linked above.

There are many people in that line-up I did not expect to be white supremacists. Wasn't Morris Day friends with Prince and Arsenio?

The comment you responded to is a load of shite. I rebutted in another comment. It's a ridiculously false assertion.

The save thing Kanye West has in common.

Edit: apparently people think Kanye is an anomaly. Enrique Terri, Nick Fuentes, Clarence Thomas, Candace Owens, just because people have color doesn't make them not supremacists, any less than Nikki Haley, Usha Vance, Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi are male supremacists.

Kanye West is representative solely of Kanye West, and that's only on his better days.

So if you have ANY evidence, no matter how sketchy the link, of these non-Trump-linked specific acts that you named and/or their individual members' participation in and/or adjacency to "white supremacy" aside from their already cancelled appearance at Trump's concert, I invite you to bring it forward, because it is literally fictitious.

Your assertion is ludicrous to the point of being actively offensive. Naming proudly Black people and acts who have already disavowed any intention of supporting Trump, not to mention "white supremacy," is a slap to them and to their good names. It's a truly shitty thing to say.

Kid Rock got shown up by fucking Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli. Who thefuck in the past 30 years has ever thought "I wanna hear Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli". Jesusfuck, 250th year Anniversary of this country and this is the "talent" we have to show for it. Fucking Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli......

Seems quite fitting if you ask me.

Relieved about Young MC. I listened to his "Brainstorm" album over and over again as a kid.

I'm not doubting it, I just want it clarified. Is he letting them, or are they just doing it? The Trump Adm. has used a lot of artists stuff without permission, and have even continued to use it after they told them to stop. Has he actually made a statement allowing it, and if not, has he made a statement asking them not to?

Hasn't the group only been one guy since the other one died in 1998?

Milli Vanilli performing at a maga festival is just perfect. AFAIK the German guy is dead already, which leaves the French guy to lipsync to someone else’s singing. Or did they find someone else to complete the duo again? Maybe a Scotsman this time?

Isn't it just Milli now? I thought Vanilli offed himself. Or maybe it's the other way around. It would be disingenuous if one of them claimed to be a Milli or a Vanilli, when they aren't. Girl, you know it's true.

It’s worth mentioning these are not the only times Ritchie drops the n-word during my visit. It’d be easy to label this as the rantings of a drunk racist, but as with everything that Ritchie does, it’s hard to know how calculated it all is. Is he just trying to get a reaction? Is he begging to be pilloried when this story comes out so he can launch into a very public tirade against “cancel culture”? Is this all just a play for more attention? Would any of that make it less shitty?

The strange thing is, despite his rhetoric, Ritchie’s politics aren’t uniformly regressive. He considers himself socially liberal. And the longer we argue, the more I can see the faint outlines of reasonable stances on things like immigration, government regulation of corporations, and tax policy. But here’s the thing: Nobody will ever hear any of that over the shouting, the name-calling, and all of his other attention-grabbing bullshit. I don’t think he really cares because the shouting, the name-calling, and the attention-grabbing bullshit are who he is now. It’s as if the blurry line between Kid Rock and Bob Ritchie has disappeared entirely.

It’s textbook alcoholism. Super simple.

This is so tough. My partner's mother is a vicious manipulator and abuser, still tries to put her hands on her grown children. I love him so much and want to do my best to support him but I can't have a relationship with her. She's not permitted at our house because every time we've tried, she starts a toddler tantrum over whatever comes to mind and gets violent.

I worry it weighs heavily on him and I wish I could stomach more interaction with her, I imagine it would make his life easier in some ways. But I've hit my max when it comes to abusive people. I'm a domestic abuse survivor and I simply don't have any more space for folks who behave that way.

I used to be a huge Kid Rock fan.
But in my defense, I knew nothing about him, I was 10 years old, I'm German, and I understood none of the lyrics.
