Kid Rock — alleged possessor of glass *****s, singer of songs — will release his tenth album, First Kiss, early next year. In advance of the new record, Rolling Stone sat down with the aging rocker to get a preview. First off, he admits that his 2012 album Rebel Soul was bad — “I didn’t spend enough time on it at all,” he says. Kid Rock also describes a few specific tracks on the album. One, called “Good Times And Cheap Wine,” targets “Coldplay, Coachella, social media, and hipsters.” Seriously. “I’m ****ing old,” Rock explains. “I’m not going to fit in, I’m ****ing fine with that, I don’t ****ing understand the Internet or Coachella or any ****. And I just can’t ****ing try to pretend like I know. I like good times, cheap wine and back-beat rock & roll.” Another one is called “Ain’t Enough Whiskey” and on the song, Rock takes aim at politicians who “talk about taking my guns away.” Rock bravely states, “It’s not going to be considered politically correct.” Sounds fascinating! First Kiss is out 2/24.
