It’s been a banner week for the culture war in rock circles, with Neil Young and Kid Rock rallying their bases on opposite sides of the spectrum.
Kid Rock, the right-leaning rap-rocker from Michigan, released “We the People,” a garish arena-rock anthem that attacks Dr. Anthony Fauci, COVID-19 restrictions, mainstream media and social media, leading to a chorus of “Let’s Go, Brandon!,” code for a well-known anti-Joe Biden meme.
“Wear your mask. Take your pills. Now a whole generation’s mentally ill,” 52-year-old Kid shouts, while also pointing out that Biden attacked Donald Trump early on for wanting to stop travel from China at the start of the pandemic.
