There he goes again.
Kid Rock embarrasses himself anew with a crude, sexist Twitter swipe at Taylor Swift, his latest attention grab:

@KidRock
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.

The misogyny, a response to Swift's explanation of why she didn't endorse Donald Trump in 2016, draws predictable blowback -- "faux redneck" say some replies -- and reminds us of another frequently provocative tweeter who likes to stir things up.
In the Metro Detroit performer's case, his new nonsense gets a callout from Daily Beast writer Tarpley Hitt, who ridicules "the digital grunt" at The Daily Beast:
It was a hollow jab, and not just because Swifts ex-boyfriends trend more Disney Channel cast-off than high-powered movie exec.

Even "The Rock" eventually switched to Duane Johnson.

(5,301 posts)4. He has to call himself "Kid Rock"
because "Middle-aged, racist, misogynist, talentless, bitter, has-been" won't fit on a marquee (should he ever find work again).

Man attacked in Birmingham for not liking Kid Rock

...Actually, it was probably even more articulate than that. Say what you will about Kid Rock, but there seems to be an almost exponentially inverse relationship between loving Kid Rock and delivering an articulate critique. Where those who love Bob Richie's music and hillbilly stage persona are likely to use such words as "bruh," "dog," and "dude," those who hate Kid Rock have an ability to list all that they hate about him in devastating detail.
Take our cover story from Jan. 3, 2007, which contained this takedown of Kid:
At the top of that list, of course, were the four weddings and a divorce, with Kid and his unblushing bride Pamela Anderson jetting around the globe for a series of hyped-to-the-max, alcohol-drenched commitment ceremonies that had all the class of stained faux-satin bed sheets. Less than three months after tying that fourth knot, the loving couple was headed for divorce court. Even more abysmal was the Kid's foray into politics, with the man formally known as Robert Richie campaigning for law-and-order, family-values Senate candidate Mike Bouchard, Oakland County's sheriff. We don't know who's more of a hypocritical opportunist with this one, the guy who rapped the immortal line "Playin' shows, fuckin' hos, Got the dope in my veins and up my nose" or the hopelessly desperate politico who accepted his support.
Or let's roll back the clock five years and behold what onetime MT music editor Brian Smith had to say about Richie:
One of the greatest dbags in the history of pop music, to be sure. Heres a rich white kid who stepped into inner-city Detroit, copped its music wholesale from its rappers without proper credit made DJ shtick (oh, the irony!) of it, and then later paraded around, hair-tossing and burping up song-after-gratuitous-song of self-congratulatory horseshit. Its as if everything in Kid Rocks life and songs has been designed specifically to show others just how sweet Kid Rock is. After Rock ditched the lame rock-rap and slipped into white trashin, we knew it was an easy route to big bank deposits. I saw this and went, "Oh. My. God. Why isnt everyone pointing to this guy and screeching, Were being conned and manipulated and this guy blows! Hes a fucking sock puppet in a nice Republican coat!" ...

This coming from the guy who got his fame by ripping off "Werewolves of London"... He's a bigger POS than I thought.
