No Kid Rock at Bush concert

No Kid Rock at Bush concert
Committee backs off plan to feature rapper after pro-family Americans express outrage

Kid Rock, the vulgar rock-rapper who initially had been lined up to headline the youth concert next week as part of the inauguration festivities for President Bush, will not be apppearing after all.

"He's not performing," a spokesman for the Presidential Inauguration Committee confirmed for WND.

No further information about the cancellation of Kid Rock was available at press time.

Word that the rapper will not join JoJo and Hilary Duff as performers at the Jan. 18 concert, which will be hosted by Bush twins Barbara and Jenna, comes after WorldNetDaily and other outlets publicized the fact that the committee was planning to feature Kid Rock, which caused several pro-family organizations to ask their supporters to protest his appearance.

I don't see what the big deal is - especially if the Bush Twins requested he perform. I'm assuming whatever "ball" he would've performed at will consist mostly of young people and the President would only make a brief appearance.

I don't think it would have been proper for the Republican party to promote Kid Rock. As one who rails against the decline in our culture in general, and in so-called music especially, I am glad he won't be performing. People have the choice to listen to his type of entertainment, but I don't think he would have been an appropriate entertainer for inauguration events.

That's a mistake. I'm not a big Kid Rock fan, but he supports the President and the troops. As long as he kept it clean, he should perform.

The troops love him.

He also makes fun of Laura Bush in one of his songs.

I agree. Kid Rock music may or may not be ok for private consumption, but not acceptable for Inaugural events for the Republican party.

Well that's too bad. He is a staunch supporter of Pres Bush, and our troops. He is a conservative thinker. He might have 'raunchy' lyrics, but I think of him as a sort of young Ted Nugent. Wild enough in his younger days, but conservative and intelligent and outspoken. Kid Rock has that potential. I have a feeling he would have been thrilled to be included, and would have kept his appearance 'clean'. Some of the lyrics aside, he's good, too.

I got the "email the inaugural chairman in protest" from the AFA. I edited out their boilerplate text in their submission form, and put in my own message- that being that I think they should let him perform.

Oh, well. I though his support of Bush and of our troops would be enough. I guess not.

don't see what the big deal is

Seriously?

You're interested enough to post an article on this, but you have never read even one of the many columns or essays detailing his lyrics, what he represents, what he stands for, and why people see him as an inappropriate performer at this President's inauguration?

I mean, it'd be one thing to say you have a different view; but you're actually telling us all you have no idea why people object to him?

Where have you been? Was the weather nice there?
