Pro-Trump rocker Kid Rock is reportedly planning on installing a giant middle-finger statue on his Nashville property.
According to Fox News:
Kid Rock has made his reputation in part by being an iconoclast – one who raises a middle finger to society’s conventional ways of thinking and acting.
Now the 48-year-old rocker, who was born Robert James Ritchie, plans to plant a giant middle-finger sculpture on his Nashville property, according to reports.
Rock took inspiration from a Vermont man named Ted Pelkey who posted a similar sculpture on his own property, Taste of Country reported. Pelkey’s sculpture has since become a kind of tourist attraction, the report said, and has even inspired a Facebook page.
After hearing about Pelkey’s statue, Rock contacted the Vermont man, who put the musician in touch with the artist who created it, the report said.
HAPPENING NOW: Controversial sign goes up at Kid Rock’s Honky Tonk Bar & Steakhouse on Lower Broadway in Nashville. Some city leaders called it ‘tacky’ and ‘in bad taste,’ but Metro Council ultimately approved the sign earlier this year. MORE INFO —> https://t.co/WPbcW541s1 pic.twitter.com/cALHN486yU
