Kid Rock, Old Glory & The White House Controversy - 2025 Week 15
Bar Talk Happy Hour
Thursday, April 3, 2025 - 13 minutes
This week on Bar Talk Happy Hour, we dive into the buzz surrounding Kid Rock’s patriotic fashion choice during his visit to the White House with Donald Trump. Dressed head-to-toe in an American flag-themed outfit, Kid Rock proudly posed alongside the former president — but not without raising a few eyebrows. Some critics claim he violated the U.S. Flag Code, while others argue it’s just rock ‘n’ roll expression.
So what is the U.S. Flag Code, and does it really apply to musicians making a statement? We break down the rules, the reactions, and the fine line between fashion and federal guidelines. Plus, we’ve got some good ol’ honky-tonk and red dirt music lined up, so crack open a cold one and tune in for a star-spangled edition of Bar Talk Happy Hour!
