And, again, it\u2062 clearly worked, given the way Bud Light is languishing\u2026but was it all just \u2062performance art?<\/p>\n<p>Because, fast forward \u2063just a scant four months, and here\u2019s Kid Rock in a <em>wildly\u200b <\/em>different video with, again,\u200c a Bud Light product:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"firefly-embed\">\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to\u2062 TMZ, that video clip came from Nashville on just Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>In it, you can clearly see a relaxed\u200b Kid Rock taking in a concert by country star \u2062Colt Ford at \u2062the world-famous \u201cSkydeck on Broadway.\u201d It\u2019s a\u200c totally innocuous video \u2014 until you zoom in on Kid Rock\u2019s hand \u200band see a blue\u200c can of Bud Light.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a stark difference four months can make.<\/p>\n<h3>Lessons to Learn<\/h3>\n<p>There are a couple\u2064 of lessons and\u2063 notes to glean from this apparent \u201cbetrayal\u201d of a Kid Rock video.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>First<\/strong>, and\u2062 perhaps foremost, it\u2019s not a good look. It certainly doesn\u2019t highlight any courage or conviction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Second<\/strong>, this whole controversy \u2064highlights how important it is that people, and conservatives in particular, quit believing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bill-maher-rips-anti-violence-hollywood-liberal-hypocrites-standing-ovation-for-will-smith\/\" title=\"Bill Maher Rips Anti-Violence Hollywood 'Liberal Hypocrites' Standing Ovation for Will Smith\">world-famous celebrity<\/a> who\u2019s telling them everything they want to hear.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Third<\/strong>,\u2062 by that same token, Kid Rock certainly deserves grace. Who knows the exact context of this video?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The first point still stands \u2014 this is a bad look. But a 70-second clip is not exactly a full-throated endorsement.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, and this can\u2019t be stressed enough, who cares?<\/p>\n<p>Whether the \u200cman whose government name is Robert James Ritchie is a die-hard patriot or a leftist \u200dtraitor, it doesn\u2019t \u2063take away from the fact that conservatives just showed corporate America (and make\u200c no mistake, Anheuser-Busch InBev is corporate) that their voices and wallets matter in an \u200dincreasingly leftist world.<\/p>\n<p>The very\u2064 same people \u200cthat most of corporate America sneers at and looks down on just made an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kid-rock-caught-on-camera-proudly-drinking-bud-light-during-concert-after-leading-boycott\/\" title=\"Kid Rock filmed happily sipping Bud Light at concert post boycott.\">iconic beer brand buckle<\/a> and \u200cfall to its knees. That\u2019s\u2062 some real (and terrifying,\u2062 if you\u2019re a corporate executive) power.<\/p>\n<p>Kid Rock blowing up cans of Bud Light with live ammunition should be a footnote in that story \u2014 not the\u2063 highlight.<\/p>\n<p>Look, there\u2019s mounting evidence that Kid Rock has made nice with Bud Light after that April social media video.<\/p>\n<p>That would be disappointing, \u200bif ever confirmed, but here\u2019s another positive\u200c way to \u2062spin it for conservatives: Even with Kid Rock\u2019s tacit re-approval of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bud-lights-slump-continues-as-new-drink-becomes-top-selling-beer-in-america\/\" title=\"Bud Light's decline persists as new beverage dominates US beer market.\">embattled beer brand<\/a>, it hasn\u2019t helped. Bud Light is grievously wounded. Period.<\/p>\n<p>So, yes. There\u2019s some evidence now that Kid Rock was, and has been, a false voice for the voiceless, and\u200c that does kind of stink.<\/p>\n<p>But looking at the wreckage left in the \u2064aftermath of Bud Light\u2019s brief \u2064dabbling\u200d with transgender activism, it\u2019s pretty clear that \u200bthe \u2064voiceless are \u2064doing just fine on their own.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kid-rock-caught-camera-proudly-drinking-bud-light-concert-leading-boycott\/\">Kid Rock Caught on Camera Proudly Drinking Bud Light During Concert After Leading Boycott<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rock&#8217;s recent controversial political statements and affiliations have polarized his fan base and caused a shift in public perception.
