So I'm watching it with, you know, white-knuckling it, and I thought, I don't know, and maybe Kid Rock is gonna be a little over the top or whatever.

So Kid Rock comes out, and he does the thing that we were all expecting.

Flag, pyrotechnics.

One, it was impressive that a guy who was, I think, 57 years old was moving around like that.

I don't move around like that at 35, and I didn't move around like that at 25.

So that was physically impressive.

But I thought, okay, here's a song from 1999.

We've all heard it.

I don't even really like the song.

He's no longer kid rock.

But you know, he actually leaned into that.

And I thought this was the point where, and conservatives are kind of dissing some of this stuff, but I thought there was actually real artistry.

I thought there was actually some real beauty in that show.

Because he comes out, they say, introducing kid rock.

and he does the Kid Rock bit.

And then it shifted to a cello and a violin.

And I thought, okay, man, we're in it now.

Because the right is split up between, you know, the like, I want to go fishing kind of guys and the more like rocky, edgy face tattoo guys and people like us who like classical music and Cole Porter and whatever.

And so it's actually kind of hard to cater to all of them.

TPUSA did that.
