“I like skinny white chicks”: Kid Rock explains why he doesn’t like Beyonce in utterly demented Roll

Few things, at this point, could surprise anyone about America’s “wildest red-state rocker,” Kid Rock. In a Guardian interview released earlier this year, Rock spoke candidly about issues that ranged from gay marriage to women to his son to smoking weed to thinking rap-rock is “pretty gay.” He had opinions. He made them known. And it was hard to see at the time how he ever possibly could have topped them.

It turns out, Kid Rock still has many more opinions to dispense. (And some of them actually surprising!) In a piece from the upcoming March issue of Rolling Stone, Patrick Doyle interviews the deeply unapologetic performer; and among the many things we learn are: Rock is “flabbergasted” by Beyonce worship. It’s not weird for him to receive text messages from Sarah Palin. And, perhaps strangest of all, he frequently holds dinner parties with Josh Groban, Mike Diamond and Sean frickin’ Penn.

On Beyonce’s body just not doing much for him:

“Beyoncé, to me, doesn’t have a fucking ‘Purple Rain,’ but she’s the biggest thing on Earth. How can you be that big without at least one ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ or ‘Old Time Rock & Roll’? People are like, ‘Beyoncé’s hot. Got a nice fucking ass.’ I’m like, ‘Cool, I like skinny white chicks with big tits.’ Doesn’t really fucking do much for me.”

On Mitt Romney:

“He’s the most decent motherfucker I’ve ever met in my life.”


On what he learned from his trip to the Middle East:

“I spent two Christmases there?.?.?.?slept in Saddam’s bedroom,” he says. Those trips affirmed Rock’s political beliefs. He’s pro-torture in some situations, and he sees gun ownership as a sacred right. “Getting rid of them is not the answer,” he says. Adds Greg, “If all the guns were taken from American citizens, the only ones who would have guns would be the damn outlaws.”

Jackass.


edited to add: I copied the title of the article exactly as written. I bolded the part about Romney. I didn't want to change the title cuz often times people get picky about that. I really don't care what he thinks about Bey's body--but what he said about Romney and torture I thought were...interesting isn't the right word....anyway...just wanted to clear that up.

More exactly the tonal center is off. Song is in G, guitar solo is in D. Some of the notes work, some don't. I cannot believe that song was released with that aberration of a solo.

I don't believe for a second that he spent his late-80s high school years listening to Skynyrd.

Here's how you do a modern song about how much you love Skynyrd.

... but I've seen her do some incredible acoustic stuff, both vocals and piano.

She's good. Period. I can respect talent, even when I'm not a fan.

Kid Rock? Umm. Why does he have an audience outside of his bathroom mirror?

That's what I can't figure out.

But what he said regarding her looks doesn't offend me - should it?

It's personal preference.

To me - he's not attractive. No square jaw, no dimples, no cleft in his chin - not interested.

He complains, yet where is HIS Purple Rain etc..? He should be happy that with little skill at music he has, still made him millions and millions. There are a lot of much harder working and talented singers that never get his chance.
