Kid Rock Concert Promo Uses Taxpayer-Funded Military Helicopters
The saga of Kid Rock and U.S. Army helicopters continued with a promotional video for his new concert tour, featuring him arriving at a Dallas show via military helicopter alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. This incident follows previous events where pilots faced investigation for a flyby of Rock’s home, an intervention that ultimately cleared them. Hegseth further engaged Rock by allowing him aboard an Apache helicopter, leading to the creation of the concert tour trailer. While the cost of such military assets is presented as minor in the grand scheme, the article critiques the perceived cronyism between Rock and Hegseth, suggesting a bid for cultural allies by the Trump administration. The piece questions the value of such collaborations, referencing past underwhelming performances and suggesting the country deserves better than this public relations strategy.
