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.

"Too bad you and Free Republic weren't around 2000 years ago, the vitriole that you and Farah would have posted against Jesus speaking with the women at the well, the Good Samaritan parable, and healing on the Sabbath would have been stunning."

What's "stunning" is your pathetic attempt at making analogous the parables of Jesus, with that of my issue with Kid Rock's performing at the Inaugural.

But on the subject of Jesus, let me ask you a question:

Would Jesus Christ "approve" of Rock's performing for He and the Apostles?

Or would He have been concerned about the opinions if the Pharisees?

I adore Kid Rock. He's a loud, opinionated, thrashy, beer-drinkin', fast-drivin', hard-livin' guy with long blonde hair. Except for the guy part, he could be me.


And this is for the questions that don't have any answers
The midnight glancers and the topless dancers
The candid freaks, cars packed with speakers
The Gs with the 40s and the chicks with beepers
The Northern Lights and the Southern Comfort
And it don't even matter if the veins are punctured
All the crackheads, the critics, the cynics
And all my heros at the methadone clinic
All you bastards at the IRS
For the crooked cops and the cluttered desks
For the shots of Jack and the caps of meth
Half-pints of love and the fifths of stress
For the hookers all tricking out in Hollywood
And for my hoods of the world misunderstood
I said it's all good and it's all in fun
Now get in the pit and try to love someone

Bawitdaba da bang da bang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy

For the timebombs ticking and the heads that hang
All the gangs getting money and the heads that bang bang
Wild mustangs and porno flicks
All my homies in the county in Cell Block Six
The grits when there ain't enough eggs to cook
And for DB Cooper and the money he took
You can look for answers but that ain't fun
Now get in the pit and try to love someone!

For the love, and for the hate
And for the peace.... WARRRRRRRRRRRR

I don't think the argument is about sexuality, but how it is portrayed. Didn't a poll show Republicans have better sex lives than Dems? I'm all for sex between a husband and wife - hope that doesn't sound too radical.

I'm usually not paying much attention to the music. :^)

Google "Faith Plus One" and you will find one smart Christian Rock Band.

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

By that standard, nobody from congress will be able to attend.

ROTFLOL! My favorite!

All you bastards at the IRS

Best line in the song.

Here's what I'd love...for years the left (and especially Europe) have derided Bush as a "dumb cowboy." Wouldn't it be the ULTIMATE schadenfreude moment to have KR belting out I WANNA BE A COWBOY, BAYBEEEEEEEE in their faces?? :^)

LOL-LOL-LOL
How true!

MORAL REHAB
St Peter Tail IV

Free to sin, free to be saved
The keyword here is free
Because without it you’re enslaved

With freedom comes responsibility
Free will, free thought, free speech
Its power may break your tranquility

Free to take another drink
Free to say what you think
Free to abstain form transgression
Free to feign absolution

Free to come and go as you please
Free for all, do not appease
Free to sing, shout, or pray
Free was bought by those who paid

Defend its virtues not its vices
To mend and argue its devices
Two sides of the very same coin
In the middle truth adjoins

Hold it...

Why is changing the station, not buying CDs or DVDs, or not going to the theater or concert not enough?

I'm perfectly capable of doing all of that... I don't need to run to the FCC or e-mail a bunch of folks putting together a PRIVATE concert and tell them not to invite a certain performer. I feel that these folks have forced their artistic distaste on the attendees of that concert. How many of them were going to buy tickets for it? Very few, I bet.

Nobody was being FORCED to attend the proposed Kid Rock concert. Nobody is forced to buy his CDs. Nobody is forced to watch his videos. There are probably a half-dozen other balls people could go to. Hello, what ever happened to that concept? There are conservatives who might like Kid Rock, NWA, Ice-T, South Park, Howard Stern, Opie & Anthony, and other stuff like that.

One thing for sure: The message is loud and clear: The "Republican Party Reptiles" and "South Park Republicans" are, at best, barely tolerated among conservatives.

I am really confused; is somebody on this thread saying you don't know indecency when you see it?

You?

"Tweak the nosie, you'll get a squeak every time!!!

ROFLOL!!!

See y'all.....careful not to get sucked down into the liberal gutter when your bath tub drains tonight. ;o)

Well, now...isn't that SPECIAL. You have clearly pegged yourself as some sort of agitator in this thread. You're a newby and you're deliberately provoking long-time members of Free Republic.

'Round these parts, we call that trolling. Trolls get Zotted.

[TheBigB]

It's all a buncha tree-huggin' hippie crap!

[TheForceOfOne]

No, more like a bunch of narrow minded pinheads on some kind of ego trip thinking that this is about them and ONLY them pi$$ing and moaning all the way down Pennsylvania Ave. until someone noticed.

[faithincowboys]

Don't be a Nazi about it. I am very, very annoyed that some obnoxious, repressed rightwingers forced Kid Rock out of the Inaugural. And then we wonder why Bush lost 18-29 year olds by 11 points. Let's hope the Kerry 18-29 voters don't become lifelong Dems. If they do, eventually they'll win elections for the Rats.

The fantasy of going down the bathtub drain is characteristic of the cognitive development of two year olds, who have no concept of spatial relationships and relative sizes.

Guess you've just pegged yourself.
