Kid Rock Announces ‘No Snowflakes’ Summer Concerts

Kid Rock got everyone’s attention on Monday when he shared news on his Instagram that he will be headlining several concerts this summer as part of his “No Snowflakes Summer Concerts.”

The 52-year-old rocker posted an image of a poster from Live Nation that detailed four arena concerts starting in June and going through July — and each show would feature a different special guest.

He captioned the post, “KID ROCK ANNOUNCES FOUR 2023 ARENA DATES. THE FOUR-CITY LIMITED RUN WILL FEATURE DIFFERENT SPECIAL GUESTS ON EACH NIGHT: CHRIS JANSON, MARCUS KING, TRAVIS TRITT, AND GRAND FUNK RAILROAD.”

The post included information that pre-sale tickets will be available starting March 7, with general sales opening Friday, March 10. More information can be located on his website.

The concerts start in June in Austin, Texa, at the Moody Center, followed by one in Ft. Worth at the Dickies Arena. In July, the singer — whose given name is Robert Ritchie — will entertain fans in Nashville, Tennessee, at the Bridgestone Arena before ending the concert series in his home state in Detroit at Little Caesars Arena.

The outspoken conservative country singer recently slammed “dumb liberals” — whom he said had moved to red states and brought their “effing politics” with them — when he mounted an effort to prevent the former home of late-legendary country music star Hank Williams from being destroyed, as previously reported.

“We are sick of seeing history torn to the ground,” Ritchie said. “Whether it be in the form of monuments, statues, and now something so important here in Nashville, like the former home of Hank Williams, Beechwood Hall. … Where does this end?”

“We kind of knew that from the beginning, once this fiasco started that it was never going to end,” he added. “And now we kind of feel like we’re under an invasion from the state of California, which we understand in a lot of ways. I have a lot of friends here that come from these spots — California and New York City.”

“A lot of people say it, and they say it under their breath, but they’re scared to say it out loud,” Kid Rock continued. “So, once again, I’ll be the guy: They come here leaving these woke policies from those cities for better schools, lower taxes, lower crime. You have talked about it a million times. We kind of tell them to leave your effing politics at the state line from where you’re coming. And this is just one more example.”

ESPN NBA Analyst Implies MVP Voters Are Racist

After ESPN NBA commentator Kendrick Perkins was harshly criticized for accusing Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic — who is white — of “stat-padding” in order to help himself average a triple-double, he doubled down by accusing MVP voters of being racist.

Perkins also tweeted a video implying Jokic was winning MVPs only because he was white, then later deleted it. Jokic could become the fourth player ever to win the MVP award in three straight seasons, alongside Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, and Larry Bird.

“I’m watching Jokic pass the ball, and I’m watching his guys catch and shoot, no hesitation, good or bad shot, and let me tell you one thing: Conversations goes [sic] on in that locker room, and players know what their stats are,” Perkins had initially charged.

After Perkins made his initial comments disparaging Jokic, fellow NBA commentator J.J. Redick took him to task, saying, “I strongly disagree with this. Look, I’ve never been Nikola Jokic’s teammate. If you ask anyone that’s been around him … Nikola Jokic does not care about stats, does not care about averaging a triple-double. Nikola Jokic — I hate to tell everyone — doesn’t care about winning an MVP. He cares about winning a championship.”

“The idea that he’s stat-padding,” Redick continued, then quoted Jokic’s coach Mike Malone. “This is how he described the game,” Redick said. “This is how he described Nikola Jokic’s game: ‘He doesn’t fight the game; he just makes the right play every time.’ He compared his basketball IQ to LeBron.”

“This is not a guy who cares about stat-padding, Perk,” Redick asserted. “And the best argument I can make as to why this is such a ludicrous statement: They’re 23-0 when he has a triple-double. Going back to last year they’ve won 28 games in a row when he has a triple-double.”

Perkins then offered this in rebuttal: after noting that since 1990, only Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, and Jokic — all of whom are white — have won the MVP without finishing in the top 10 in scoring, Perkins raged, “What do those guys have in common? I’ll let it sit there and marinate. You think about it. When it comes down to moving the goalposts for certain individuals to win it, again, is it Oochie Wally? Or is it One Mic? What song are we actually dancing to right now, why is this subject not brought up?”

The Nuggets currently lead the Western Conference as Jokic is averaging a triple-double. Only two men have ever averaged a triple-double over the course of an entire season: Russell Westbrook and the legendary Oscar Robertson.
