If you told me in the 90s that Kid Rock would somehow have become even more cringe, I would have needed a minute to adapt to the anachronism. But once I had I wouldn't believe you.
Nearly 20 years ago, a writer for Cracked said something that stuck with me. Paraphrasing, of all the people in Michigan impacted by the mortgage crisis, most of whom were hardworking blue-collar laborers, Kid Rock was least deserving of any success: the only success Kid Rock deserves is to live off the proceeds of a settlement from accidentally spot welding his necklace to his chest. No lies detected.
