🎸 Bob’s Rock and Roll News

📋 5-Paragraph Summary:

1. 🤘 Kid Rock announced his No Snowflakes 2023 tour, kicking off at the Enormo Dome (Austin) on June 23rd. ‘Snowflake’ is defined as derogatory slang for someone easily offended or overly emotional with an inflated sense of entitlement. Supporting acts vary by city and include Chris Jansen in Austin, along with Grand Funk Railroad, Marcus King, and Travis Tritt at various stops. Tickets go on sale Friday.

2. 🎪 Rocklahoma Music Festival will feature Godsmack, Pantera, and Limp Bizkit as headliners for this year’s event in Pryor, Oklahoma. The three-day festival includes 47 acts performing on three stages, with a pre-party on August 31st for weekend pass holders. Other acts include Bush, Skid Row, Rob Zombie, LA Guns, Bullet Boys, Warrant, and Voodoo Moonshine. Matt joked this was his 2002 playlist.

3. 🎸 The Edge promised the next U2 album will have ‘loud guitars.’ The hosts questioned when U2 ‘jumped the shark,’ suggesting it was in the 90s, long before the Apple incident. Bob expressed frustration with how U2 went from having a stranglehold on music and being fun to becoming ‘a lot.’ The promise of loud guitars was met with skepticism about whether it would make the album ‘listenable.’

4. 🙏 Godsmack has canceled their South American tour due to lack of ticket sales, earning praise from Bob for their honesty. Bob commended them for not using fake COVID excuses, finger injuries, or other typical band cancellation excuses. He noted that after COVID lockdowns ended, everyone went on tour to make up lost money, but audiences are now ‘tapped out’ and can’t afford more ‘$2,000 shows.’ This honesty about poor ticket sales was refreshing in an industry full of lies.

5. 👵🎤 Rock and Roll News Jr. featured a heartwarming story about Rihanna and Jay-Z. Grandmothers at Arcadia Senior Living in Bowling Green went viral on TikTok with their recreation of Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime performance, complete with puffy hoodies. Jay-Z and Rihanna sent roses and a personal message to the facility. The card read ‘you ladies dance was amazing’ and was signed by Riri and the leader of Roc Nation, showing their appreciation for the viral performance.
