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.

It was being talked about on Hannity the other day.. something about pimping Laura Bush.

[exnavychick]

I would not have invited him in the first place... but having invited him I would not have un-invited him.

No kidding. It looks darn tacky, and cowardly, imo.

[Texas Federalist]

C'mon people, Kid Rock released a song about pimping BARBARA BUSH, defend THAT, ok?"

You got to admit that if Kid Rock can pimp Barbara Bush, he's quite a pimp.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Kid Rock, known for his X-rated lyrics and associations with drugs, alcohol and pornography, boasted in one 2001 song, "I met the president when I was half-stoned," and in another of his provocatively profane lyrics, sang of "pimpin' Barbara Bush."

The lyrics are here

This man is a vulgar pig.

The stupid part of the republican party wins again....this has nothing to do with morals this has to do with a guy who has gone out of his way to support Bush and our troops...what a PR nightmare this Administration gets into.

[CyberCowboy777]

I am a Social Conservative (too an extent) and I think this is lame.

The Republican Party is not aka the Christian party and Bush would not have won without all the "factions" working together.

They need to be respectful of that.

[loborojo]

I don't begrudge anyone for listening to his music. I just don't think that bitches, hoes, pimps, m@therf*ckers, c#cks, etc, belong at the Inauguration.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

I am all for family values.. that is why my young children do not listen to Kid Rock.... But I do listen to him- and I have more family values than most people. This is ridiculous and very silly.

Kid Rock has been more of a positive role model than many of the government "officials" who will be at these balls.

[Robert_Paulson2]

The republican party has become a religious denomination.

didn't you get the memo?

[F16Fighter]

"Damn shame if his music isn't "acceptable" for the Republican party. The sailors of the USS Cole found his music acceptable when they pulled out of the port of Aden in Yemen. They stood at attention on the deck as the Star Spangled Banner was played."NEWS FLASH:

The "deck" of the USS Cole isn't quite the same venue as the stage at the Presidential Inaugural.

I'm just guessing, but I'm sure you'd agree that just because Republicans may drink and smoke and swear, doing it in the company of the President or Pope would be inappropriate.

Hey - he mentions "God" so he must be full of "moral values"!!


Kid Rock sux. Not for his content, but just due to a complete lack of talent.

[Blzbba]

"Speak for yourself..."


I believe I am.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Kid Rock has been more of a positive role model than many of the government "officials" who will be at these balls.

Sure, yeah, like when Kid Rock uses the 'c word' to describe women he has the decency to spell it with a K.

[CyberCowboy777]

Was Kid going to drink and smoke and swear?

I doubt it.

You are not basing this upon what he was going to do, but what he has done (in context) in the past.

"I just don't think that bitches, hoes, pimps, m@therf*ckers, c#cks, etc, belong at the Inauguration"


Well, someone better uninvite all the special interest groups then.

[The SISU kid]

Hey! over here buddy!!

[evad]

t'nsi siht nuf BC!

[Reform4Bush]

BOOOOO!!!!!!

Personally I was hoping for a Brittney/Kid Rock duet and a wardrobe malfunction.

[Howlin]

This is ridiculous and very silly.

Oh, but it gives the prigs and prudes on FR a chance to come out and CONDEMN people, which is what they love to do most! They get off on it!

[F16Fighter]

"I don't begrudge anyone for listening to his music. I just don't think that bitches, hoes, pimps, m@therf*ckers, c#cks, etc, belong at the Inauguration.'

But Kid Rock waves the American Flag as he sings it! /sarcasm
