How special

[Wolfie]

The officer, who let Kid Rock go with a warning after getting an autograph, was fired later Wednesday.

Now that's funny.

[WindOracle]

The trailer-park rocker-rapper

what.. precisely.. does that mean?

[niteowl77]

It means he's anathema to the fellow travelers in the E! world.

Love America = trailer park
Hate America = street cred

If the cop was smart he would've just had Kid auto graph the ticket.... Come on officer, use the noodle...

I'm not sure what it means, but I know immediately who they are talking about when I read that description.

[vollmond]

You can only hear "Achy-Breaky Heart" so many times ...

[Wolfie]

It means he's just another one of those poor, downtrodden city kids whose Dad owns a car dealership.

[WindOracle]

At least he does not work as a shoe salesman... ala Al Bundy.

[Major Matt Mason]

The trailer-park rocker-rapper (real name: Bob Ritchie)...

Actually, he is from the middle-class suburbs of some town or city in Michigan. Libs just assume he is from a trailer park, since that is where everyone in the red states' lives- right?

[stainlessbanner]

Strip joints, hot rods, bar brawl, booze, and rock and roll. Sounds like Kid was getting material for his next music video.

[WindOracle]

I know it is a bit off-topic, but since the "trailer park" thing has come up, I wanna comment on it.

As I recall, the "trailer park trash" thing got started, or at least mainstreamed, back during the Clinton Administration by the leftists to marginalize certain people. The ironic thing is that I always thought the liberals claimed to be the champions of the poor. Most people I know who live in mobile homes are what would be classified as the working poor. So now the libs have turned that into a term of derision. I wonder how the libs would care for the term "public housing trash"... most of whom are getting a free ride at our expense?

I do enjoy when they use that term, since it merely exposes them as the elitists they truly are.

[Wolfie]

You're way off the mark. A huge part of the Kid Rock image is that he's "straight outta the trailer", and grew up as poor white trash who lived in a trailer park. Fact is, his old man owns a car dealership, and KR's beginnings are far from what he has portrayed them as.

[Old Professer]

Kid Rock owes one Rent-A-Cop a job on his security team.

[Old Professer]

The writer is a liberal and all beneath them are trailer park trash.

[WindOracle]

I am not particularly referring to this characterization... I am merely commenting on the use of that term in general by the liberals when they wish to marginalize people... and on that I believe I am right on the mark.

As for Kid Rock, I have no idea and could not care less. I am more of a Blue Oyster Cult type of guy anyway.

[Wolfie]

Sigh. No, not all. The trailer park thing is something tha Kid Rock has pushed since Day One as a way to establish his street cred.

[Wolfie]

Funny. I'm listening to Agents of Fortune on my MP3 player as we speak.

[Old Professer]

Well, I gleefully admit my ignorance of his genre.

[FactsMatter]

He also has sung some songs with some of the greats of country and has been on CMT multiple times.
