...but who the hell buys physical recordings of music anymore, aside from vinyl collectors?
I do, mostly on CD. Yes, there are a few of us left on this planet. Even with the wide availability of online streaming, I mostly listen to entire albums on an old-fashioned '70s era stereo set-up as well as mp3s I've loaded on my desktop computer. Hell, I even listen to some cassettes I've dubbed in the past! I do listen to and sample individual songs on YouTube, however.
I recognize that listeners to Kid Rock and the like may not be apropos to my leanings.

I had an opportunity to go to a Kid Rock concert several years ago. I didn't know but a couple of his songs that were being played frequently on the radio, but went anyways because it was free and a couple friends were going.
Probably the best/most_fun concert I've been to in ~20 years. I was surprised and to me it put him in an entirely different light. Not sure I'd buy the vinyl or CD, but then again I don't do that for most performers.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.
I don't mind some of Kid's music, and he has some measure of talent, but "We The People" is a lyrically contradictory mess that comes off as a self-parody. It makes Johnny Van Zant's love letter song about Ron DeSantis, "Sweet Florida", seem like the second coming of "Freebird". "We The People" is not a good song, and I wasn't surprised one bit by that.
The video and song Kid came up with speaks to his choir, who appear to appreciate it. It's nothing that will have any real impact outside of that.
Ted Nugent's gone down a similar path, but at least he is a good guitarist.
And, I buy physical copies of music I appreciate. I don't trust any computer or digital device enough to place my music's existence on it only. I download music on occasion, but my collection is largely on vinyl and CD.
