Kid Rock set the record Saturday night for the most f-bombs dropped at the State Fair grandstand. Sorry, I quit counting at 20, including his arriving onstage flipping the bird on both hands (and let’s not mention the s-bombs).

Kid who?
I dont know what youre talkin about. I saw him in Dallas and he tore the place apart. Had more energy than anyone Ive seen. He can sing, play guitar, drum, and run the turntables. On one of his cd’s he played all of the music. He writes strong lyrics, as well as fun songs.
If you dont like rockers who swear, thats fine. But dont say he has no talent. I dont like Michael W Smith, but I wont say he is untalented.
Nothing quite like blasting “American Badass” while flying down the highway ...
baw-wit-a-baw
Sounds like someone has ‘virgin ears’.
The type of prude person that hears a word they don’t like at work, and goes screaming to HR trying to get someone terminated....
Or out of a C-130 (I think it was) when he was heading to Iraq to perform for the troops, and he signed a bomb for Saddam. The dude is an American through and through.
Wow looking forward to the kid coming to CA..
Thanks for the heads up...
He has supported the troops and we should respect him for that. I think we should save our powder others who deserve our scorn more.
Here is a video of his song "Warrior."

You will have to cut and paste the link. I forget the href link thingy.
pfffft- there hasnt been a decent southern band since skynyrd and allman bros....and while this turd might pal around with hank jr.....the only southern in him is the tick bite on his leg
There’s nothing wrong with Kid Rock, and I while I can understand if someone doesn’t like his music you can’t go to a rock show and then be offended because he uses some bad words. For one thing he uses those words in some of his songs.
A band like Jackyl is a true southern rock band and I’m sure you would be offended by a lot of the stuff they do and say on stage as well.
“All Summer Long” is a jam. I like the Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute sample in it.
Looks like he may be breaking the The United States Flag Code in that picture.
First, the concert I just saw with him was opened by Skynnyrd. Second, he never claimed to be Southern, he is from Michigan. The South doesnt have a franchise on the word redneck. There are hillbillys in PA, MI, WI, NV, ID and even states like CA and NY.
One of my buddies was in the 82nd, and his best friend was from the backwoods in NY. Name was Cletus, seriously. Biggest “redneck” I ever met.
And as far as southern bands go, what about ZZ TOP, The Black Crowes, Pantera, or Stevie Ray Vaughan?
That’s what irritates me so much.. the reason the song is popular is because of the Sweet home Alabam rift.. not anything that Kid rock does in the song. If you are going to get up and try and perform a song like midnight Rider or
Tied to the Whippin post or “One way out” that were legendary songs then you need to make sure that you can pull it off. This guy is patriotic-Yes, he has a good act.. But he is no southerner.. He’s a hip-hop rich kid from Detroit. I’m just sayin..
I thought it was a Werewolves of London sample. Anyway, it’s a great song.
i dont see zz top as southern - rather texan (personally) - same for SRV - both giants in that genre.....fyi - Im in ny and just finish shredding 70# of pork from the smoker 2 nite ;)
That’s not the worst of it. Just so you know, when he talks about painting the sheriff’s wife white in “Cowboy”...he’s not talking about paint.
