Earlier today, I posted a blog entry about how the Trump administration seems often too busy turning on each other to fully commit to destroying the country from within.
Well, anytime MAGA morons seem to implode, it is nice to see. These people are so undeserving of the power and high-profile that they have obtained, that it actually becomes a form of entertainment to see them implode right in front of your eyes.
And so it is that the relatively few - and frankly, largely unimpressive - collection of artists and musicians who identify as MAGA also seem to bungle their way to laughable headlines. Witness the awful news headlines that seem to follow the "Rock the Country Tour" of Kid Rock and some other MAGA entertainers. Much like Kid Rock's alternative halftime show, this was supposed to be a big deal, with them hijacking the meaning of patriotism to be exclusively pro-Trump and pro-MAGA,
Only, it's not working out so well. Some big names keep dropping out of the tour. And now, supposedly as a result of high cost of gas, ticket prices are being slashed in half, in hopes that it will revive apparently sluggish ticket sales.
Couldn't happen to a more deserving group. These days, rallying for Trump while everything in the country seems to be going to crap as a result of Trump's actions and idiocy just has limited appeal. His poll numbers are down, and more and more people feel that he is a liability, both to his party and to his country.
So let them have their rallying tour, if they want. But the rest of us can stand on the sidelines and laugh as the news grows progressively worse for this once seemingly promising tour for MAGA nation. The last time that I saw a major concert have this much go wrong before it actually kicked off was Woodstock 50. But this one is just so much more fun to watch, isn't it?
Below is the link to this story as reported by Rolling Stone, which I would recommend taking a look at:
Troubled Rock the Country Tour Is Slashing Prices, Losing Jelly Roll at One Stop by Andy Greene April 15, 2026:
“Fuel costs are up and we want to help,” the festival wrote to fans. “In response to rising transportation costs, you can enjoy up to 50% off general admission passes to any of 7 small town stops”
