Trump-supporting rock artist Kid Rock topped the charts with his Super Bowl anthem ‘Til You Can’t’ as Americans flocked to iTunes to purchase and listen to the reworded classic hit imbued with lyrics professing faith and salvation. Rock performed the song on Turning Point USA’s competing halftime show as a direct counter to the woke NFL’s Bad Bunny performance.
For context, Kid Rock borrowed from 2022’s instant hit, which when released by country musician Cody Johnson earned him Single of the Year awards at the genre’s CMA annual awards show and would also garner him a Grammy in 2023 for Best Country Song. In Rock’s version, and the reason the song resonated to immediately and powerfully, he added an additional verse harkening to his own faith’s evolution and desire to bring people to Jesus.
The lyrics added by Kid Rock explicitly called out to Jesus Christ. “There’s a man who died for all our sins hanging from the cross. You can give your life to Jesus and he’ll give you a second chance till you can’t,” he sang passionately in the pre-recorded halftime show that streamed on social media platforms like Rumble and YouTube.
The song continued: “Take care. If you got a chance, take it. Take it, why you got a chance. If you got a dream, chase it, cause a dream won’t chase you back. If you’re gonna love somebody, hold up as long and as strong and as close as you can. Take care.”
Immediately, social media was abuzz with rave reviews of both the performance and resonance of the words sung by Kid Rock. All told, some six million Americans switched channels as the first half of the contest between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots ended, proving Americans are tired of woke messaging.
As The Christian Tribune previously reported the day after the Super Bowl, the layers of wokeness compounded as the Spanish-singing Bad Bunny paraded loudly on the field. Critiques of suggestive dancing, males dancing with one another provocatively, foreign flags flying instead of the stars and stripes, and indeed just the general lack of understanding at any of the words being sung.
“Making matters worse, Bad Bunny’s show featured suggestive dancing that was far too inappriporiate for young viewers and ended with an anti-American flag waving with Puerto Rico’s banner before parading every nation in the Western Hemisphere’s flags as well. The Super Bowl represents the pinnacle of American sport, and the NFL made sure native fans felt uncomfortable and unwelcome,” The Christian Tribune wrote.
Even Donald Trump weighed in almost immediately, slamming the NFL’s awful decision to feature a Spanish-speaking foreigner. “The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence,” he said on his own social media platform Truth Social.
“Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. This “Show” is just a “slap in the face” to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History!” he said transitioning to his administration’s accomplishments.
