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 understand their motivation but they've not listened to a Kid Rock song in a while.
you may mean barbara bush
I agree. We can't live under a rock, insulated from what might be offensive. I like him. He would have loved it and kept it 'clean'. I think people miss the point that this young conservative might be positively affected by his Inaugural celebration experience and become better for it.
I wanna be a cowboy baby
I like The Nuge. The Nuge isn't so squeaky clean either.
Word that the rapper will not join JoJo and Hilary Duff as performers
Boy, they’re really left with some happening exciting lineup!
Maybe they can entice The Brady Kids to reunite and add a little more edge.
Well, I know it's gonna make a few folks around here do the happy dance.
I'm not one of them, JFT.
This is BS, pure BS. Kid Rock supports our troops, loves our country, WTF????? Its not like Kid was going to be the only entertainer. Back in the 50's or 60's or whenever the old farts hated Elvis cause he shaked his hips. This is bogus. Kid Rock rules, he supported the President and the moral majority has given our opponents some more arrows to use against us.
I'd cancel as well if I knew Hillary duff was going to be there.
BWHAHAHAHA
They had to drop the Partridge Family, too much of the devil back beat.
Ted Nugent would be too much for this crowd, very disappointed Kid Rock won't be playing.
Goody! Maybe they can get Donny Osmond to perform instead... /sarcasm.
He goes against your moral values. To me he's just an entertainer and doesn't speak for my morals of values.
Maybe they should have got Stryper so all the GOP Jesus freaks would have been happy.
Really? I don't know many of his songs. He does profanity-laced stuff about abusing, injuring and killing women?
And if so, you're okay with that?

Whatta bunch of buzzkills. I guess the Republican party has its own "political correctness" wing..
I'm not so wild about Jo Jo. Ugh.
