Rocked
Kid Rock decided to lash out against Taylor Swift this week, nearly a year after his failed attempt to get to political office, Taylor supporting a pro-LGBTQ person for office set him off on Twitter; “Taylor Swift wants to be a democrat because she wants to be in movies….period, And it looks like she will suck the door knob off Hollyweird to get there. Oldest move in the book. Good luck girl.” It is interesting that he should accuse her of being inauthentic, considering Kid Rock constantly pushes the narrative that he is a Blue Collar guy from Detroit despite growing up with a private tennis court on his parents estate well outside the city. It would seem that if anyone was using politics to try to boost their career it would be Kid Rock and his failed run for office a year ago. Maybe the guy who stole Werewolves of London, combined it with Sweet Home Alabama, and proceeded to rhyme “things” with “things” shouldn’t be the authority on authenticity and hard work to rise up in the industry.
Album of The Week
I Love You Honeybear - Father John Misty (2015)
“Darling, I love you as you are when you’re alone
I’ll never try to change you
As if I could, and if I were to, what’s the part that I’d miss most?”
“Now, I’ve got a lifetime to consider all the ways
I grow more disappointing to you
As my beauty warps and fades”
After leaving the Fleet Foxes as a drummer, changing up his persona, Josh Tillman became Father John Misty. His new sarcastic stories and philosophical songwriting propelled his career forward, a departure from his more melancholy earlier work. This album is inspired by his relationship with his new wife, from the difficulty in communicating via text and Tinder trying to get to know someone to his song Holy Shit which was written on their wedding day. This concept album features the concept of love and how it helped shape his world.

Trying to rid you from my bones”

And I confess I’m barely hanging on”

Yeah, he laughs in the daytime, too”
