They're just hoping for a hurricane to drown him.

If you're going to die young enough to be forever cool, you better get on it, Bob. Clock's ticking.

Well, I was considering going until I heard this.

He may as well show you his tits.

Damn it. It will be my first time going this year.

Call me crazy but I like Kid Rock. Dont like his music but he seems like a good guy.

I like my rock stars drinking, smoking, and hanging with hot chicks.

Don't worry ya'll, Endymion is always a good parade to miss.

Kid Rock is awesome.

Never much of a music person, but the friends dragged me to his concert this year, the hometown concert for Kid Rock at Pine Knob. It was awesome. ( and it poured most of the night.)

I submitted this two days ago with a better headline.

There's a lot of that going around lately.

I thought that was his job anyway.

Got to stick up for Kid Rock - truly a cool guy. Very charitable, a ton of fun and as "real" as any big time celebrity I've ever met. It ain't an act - he basically just loves drinking crappy beer and hanging with strippers.

/ Not a huge fan of his music, but some of his stuff is entertaining.

And for every greenlight I get, there's about 10-20 redlights that I thought were gold, so that's pretty much how it goes...

Seriously Endymion? That's at least two years in a row with really really crappy grand marshals

 
Uncle_Slacker 2008-12-04 11:56:27 PM  
Hey, I might not like his music but he employs one of my old girl friends from high school... so good for him... and her.

Stacy, I miss you.

 
wholedamnshow 2008-12-05 01:06:58 AM  
He's exactly the type of person I would want to be Grand Marshal.

 
BumpInTheNight 2008-12-05 01:13:47 AM  
Not a single picture, not a single damned picture in this thread yet.

:(

Agreed. I think it may be his natural habitat.

I'm with GUNNY HIGHWAY. The man's a rock star.

I ride in Endymion, and I'm not getting a kick out of a lot of the responses on here from moranic farktards:

I love New Orleans and considered going to Mardi Gras until I heard this.

The guy rides one float in one parade on Saturday night that you may or may not see because the streets are lined with 10 rows deep on each side of screaming drunks... but THAT'S the reason you're staying home? I have an idea, how about move out of your moms' basements and stop making bravado statements like this, as if you WERE going.

Don't worry ya'll, Endymion is always a good parade to miss.

Exactly, a great parade to miss if you enjoy not having nice beads. Unlike every other Krewe, we actually throw shiat, and nice shiat, too. But that's OK. You can tell the tens of thousands that CAMP OUT TO RESERVE THEIR SPOT or build home made bleachers for their dozens of guests out by City Park that they should miss Endymion every year.

and finally:

Genevieve, it would mark every year I've been in the Krewe having a crappy grand marshal (this is my 8th ride)... but do I care? No. Should you? No. The parade isn't about the farking grand marshal, and you should know that. Yeah, the Extravaganza was a bit lame last year until they finally pulled Costner and his wailing off the stage... but 95% of the people who watch the parade don't go to the Extravaganza. And when the Go Gos hit their first note after Costner was almost booed off stage, the place erupted (in a good way).

Damn, Grunt.

Cheerios = drenched in piss.

Would you like a hug?

 
Grunt2006 2008-12-05 02:21:59 PM  
Fap...

Just can't stand the anonymous bravado of farktards on here... "OH, THAT'S the reason I will skip Mardi Gras this year"... like one guy on one float ruins it or something.

I don't like the guy's music, but you have to admit, he stands for what Mardi Gras is all about: having fun

In addition to being hot, Genevieve is right though... our grand marshals have sucked. I have put up with George Costanza, Marissa Tomei (she wasn't too bad, actually...she had fun riding on a float), Jim Belushi/Dan Aykroyd, Nick Carter, Kevin Costner, Leann Rimes, and for some stupid reason, Taylor Hicks.

People don't come to the parades to see a grand marshal... they come to see beads and foobies!

 
FapMachine [TotalFark] 2008-12-05 02:41:46 PM  
You know, I've always been kind of indifferent about Kid Rock (except for acting... he really sucked at that, Torque I think?). I went to a Metallica concert back in 2000 and he opened up for them, and I was absolutely blown away about how good he was at playing practically every instrument. I just had no idea, because it's not so obvious in his albums/songs. I had much more respect musically for him after that. I still won't go out and buy his albums, but I'll toss respect where it's due.

I don't know why there's such a hate cloud that follows the guy, but there's definitely much more worse people where the energy could be expended.

 
Grunt2006 2008-12-05 03:05:54 PM  
Fap...

The dude appeared on the Simpsons... how bad could he be?

Dude, it's FARK, not a referendum on how you live your life. Wash the sand out of your vagina and relax.

Have not met him, but I agree with the post
