Kid Rock opened up about his collaboration with fellow Detroit musician Eminem on his new Christian album, "Halfway 2 Jesus," telling "My View with Lara Trump" on Saturday that the longtime friends have refused to let their political differences come between them.

The rocker said he hoped the collaboration would send a message about maintaining friendships despite political disagreements, highlighting his nearly 40-year friendship with Eminem.

"We said years ago, we said, 'Man, let's not let politics divide us.' And we never did. And so when I asked him to be part of this... he totally got it," Kid Rock said.

"Two little foul-mouthed white rappers from Detroit maybe could set a good example for the rest of this country" by showing that it's OK to differ politically and still be friends, he added.

He called Eminem a "class act" and said the freedom to hold differing opinions is what makes the United States great.

"Since when can you not express your points and your views and your opinions?" Kid Rock said, adding that he believes politics has no place onstage.

Historically, great thinkers from many different backgrounds met at the local tavern. Yes, beer was involved but the important ingredient was great thinking.

“Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards; there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy.

Most people think Franklin meant this is a broad way and believe he would have included beer in another conversation.

As in this case, it applies to vulgar morons and stupid ideas, too.

I tremble for someone who says, “I didn’t get saved; I’ve always been right with God”.

And as for beer and koinonia, Paul romped the Church at Corinth for this very thing. (1 Corinthians 11)

The ideological divide is such nowadays that there is no common ground. Paul, by the Holy Spirit, asked rhetorically, “What agreement has light with darkness? What fellowship has the temple of God with idols? What concord have Christ and the devil?” Enough said.
