No fan of Kid Rock's music here, but he does fall under the category of an artist that has been able to capitalize on him stardom, so for that I admire him.
This is a good article on him and some of what he does in his spare time. I know as soon as it gets political towards the end of the article, the majority here will dismiss it.

Something worthwhile to finally take over the "Susan haters" thread........

The guy is quite good at "Self-promoting" though... I'll give him that; right up there with Paris Hilton & the Kardashians...
well now at least I don't feel ashamed of starting a Larry Pierce thread
Larry Pierce, Paris, Garth, Gene - none of them have been onstage with the ABB though, am I right?

Yes, but Steven Seagal has.
Seems like a cool dude. I'd love to spend a night with him at that house. I might not be the biggest fan of his music, but I think he's cut from the same cloth that we are.

...and I've been lucky enough to see Bruce Willis with ABB twice!
From a self-promotional and fan-friendly perspective - nobody does it better than Kid Rock.
At one of Birmingham's last City Stages Festivals (now defunct), I saw who I thought was a Kid Rock impersonator out walking amongst the crowds. Turned out to be the authentic item. He was out there chatting, signing and taking photographs with anybody and everybody who wanted to stop. Compared to many artists and rock stars that I've seen and met, he probably came off as the most sincere (except for Derek Trucks). His keeping ticket prices at an affordable level makes him a near saint in this era of rock star and promoter greed.
Having done most of my growing up in the state of Alabama, I can vouch for his statement that most of the folks from the rural areas are some of the most "real" people that you'll ever meet. A lot of "salt of the earth" types. The folks you see at Wal-Marts, tractor pulls, truck stops and liquor stores. Do not judge these folks - give them a chance and not only will they accept you - they'll have your back in most any situation.
Having said all this, I have honestly never been a fan of Kid Rock's music. I would like to thank him for pointing out something that I had stated for the previous 30 years: "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Werewolves of London" can be played together seamlessly! 😉
I liked it when he played theBeacon w/ ABB

Didn't like the com on make some racket stuff, but I thought he did an ok job on Can't you see.
This performance was singled out as possible the most disliked of the 40th anniversary run, besides Trey, Sheryl Crow & John Popper.

I understand that I am probably in the minority but I also love John Popper, I went to every Beacon show for 11 years and realized my guest likes/dislikes was way different than the majority.I had no interest in Clapton and sold my extras for him to fans for face. I did not care for Crow,Oz,Bernie,Willis while I was thrilled with Margolin,Randolph,Gibbons,Hampton and Hook Herrera.It is a beautiful thing that we all can enjoy different aspects.
