I have to cross picket lines the vast majority of the year to do my job (security), and, I find that Kid Rock, and artists of that ilk tend to annoy the living sh8t out of the white male 40-somthings that dominate most non service industry labor unions. I usually am not held up at the line long, becasue they can't stand listening to it thump from my car.
Otherwise I listen to Skinnard, The Black Crows and that sort....Southern Rock I suppose.
No, I don't have a mullet.
I suspect it all has to do with annoying parents. That being said, no music of any sort that contains extensive cursing, advocates the killing of anyone, glorifies the use or sale of narcotics, or the overthrow of the country is welcome in my household. I have a 13, 12, and 8 year old boys, and, I don't get hyper about any of thier choices regarding music, even if I don't like it. I simply tell them "x" is not to be played in the house. They also have lieniency in dress, until it comes to:
1. Droopy pants
2. That retarded-ass one pant leg up/down thing.
3. Anti-US slogans.
4. Wearing thier hats in any direction other than forward or backward.
5. Gothic idiocy.
I've never actually had a problem. They are good kids. One likes country, the others like heavy metal, which I don't particularly care for, but I find fairly innoccuous.
They are left to make thier own choices on many facotors in their lives, but, limits are set, and, it's worked pretty well for me.
While I've been out on this deployment, my wife...5'4 120, redhead, San Antonio born/bred taught my middle child how to use the youth model Remmington 870 20g....
I have good kids,a nd,a great wife. That helps.
