Kid Rock is a helluva guy. You figured being from Detriot he'd be a big lib but it's just the opposite. He's a Conservative.


he is not from detroit. he is from an affluent outer suburb. dad owned car dealerships.

That's probably because he's EARNED his money by his own hard work and sacrifice.  





His music isn't my favorite form of rock, but he's a good guy, no doubt about it.

For years he has quietly done some amazing and generous things in and around this city; charities and donations for children, returning soldiers, and many others.  He usually appears genuinely embarrassed when it is discovered he was behind an act of kindness.  

It is on rare occasion he makes his generosity public, and he asks for nothing in return.

Thats a hell of a good thing he did. Not a fan of his music, since I graduated highschool, but things like that make me want to buy an album just to support him.


Your showing your age...they're not called albums anymore.  Not a fan of his, but kudos to him for helping our troops.  And on a side note, wasn't he married for s short while to Pamela Anderson?  (the baywatch babe)

I'm not crazy about Kid Rock's music, but he seems like a solid guy. Good for him for taking care of our troops.


Not my style of music either, but the guy does a great job of supporting the military.

Still a part of the lexicon of anybody 30 or older. While technically not correct, I have heard "album" used to refer to any single body of work by an an artist, be it released on Vinyl, cassette, CD or electronically.

Legal troubles

Kid Rock has had multiple run-ins with law enforcement:

In March 1991 and September 1997, Kid Rock was arrested in Michigan for alcohol related incidents.[31]

In February 2005, he was arrested on assault charges for punching DJ Jay Campos in 'Christies Cabaret' strip club. Rock pleaded no contest and was sued for $575,000 by Campos.[32]

Kid Rock was cited for assault on Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee on September 9, 2007 at MTV's Video Music Awards, and pled guilty.[33]

In October 2007, Kid Rock was involved in a brawl at a Waffle House in Atlanta and charged with simple battery.[34][35] He pleaded nolo contendere ("no contest") to one count, was fined $1,000, required to perform 80 hours of community service and complete a 6-hour course on anger management.[36]
Sex tape

Kid Rock and Scott Stapp, singer of the band Creed, appear in a sex tape from 1999 in which the two have sex with four groupies in a mobile home.[37] California pornography company Red Light District planned to release the tape in 2006, but both Rock and Stapp filed with the California courts to sue Red Light District and stop the tape's distribution.[38]
Politics

In 2011, Kid Rock agreed to allow Mitt Romney's GOP campaign to officially make use of his music in campaign events. Kid Rock later endorsed Mitt Romney's candidacy and performed on Romney's behalf at campaign event(s). By May 2012, Kid Rock was still the first of a handful of high-profile musicians to endorse Mitt Romney, including Ted Nugent and Lee Greenwood. Kid Rock will perform alongside Lynyrd Skynyrd and Trace Adkins at the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa Florida.
Activism

Kid Rock has been involved with many charitable organizations but his main support has gone to Operation Homefront. Kid Rock has frequently partnered with Jim Beam to make large donations to the organization. He is close friends with Tony Stewart as he helps with charity events, and Kid Rock narrated Tony Stewart: Smoke, a documentary of Stewart's 2002 championship season.[citation needed] Kid Rock has performed for American service men and women in countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait and Kosovo, and has performed for U.S. servicemembers in Great Britain at R.A.F. bases such as RAF Lakenheath.
