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.

Exactly, and as I understand it, this particular ball was for the younger set. Sad indeed.
It's amazing...
Bush making the right decision I saw coming; The continued bile-belching and paranoia of the loons I didn't.
Actually, it's the twins' party, the way I'm reading it. And they should be able to invite who he wants. If they want to invite Kid Rock, they should be able to do so without political pressure forcing them to dis-invite him, if that is the case.
Good! I don't want to fight with you either. :-)
Just tired of some of the adjectives and comparisons being thrown around here, which if applied logically, would apply to President Bush as well.
I think I can pull a conclusion out of this mess of a thread, but it's not a pleasant one...
My thoughts exactly!!!!
The concert looks like a major snoozefest!
F16, perhaps I'm in err here. My understanding is that this is NOT the Whitehouse innaugeral ball, but a ball for the younger crowd hosted by the twins. This is simply another ball, not THE ball.
excellent summary bttt
No, my view point on this issue comes from reading a lot of history. Guess if someone else came to a similar conclusion then maybe I am not to far off base. Always a nice thing.
I think you're right.
I'm actually sitting here happy that President Bush made a good decision. It's downright weird that folks would be angry with me (or people who think like me) for that.
Wow, I am a conservative who like Kid Rock but he's not appropriate for the Ball
I recognize absolutes. I will never compromise on issues of abortion and the right to pray in school. I will not deny the Judeo Christian foundation of this nation. I will fight to uphold limits that protect the very fiber of our Liberty.
I will not however claim a right to subjugate my fellow citizens for that cause.
You all are more concerned about some "naughty words" then the moral of our troops and their families.
It is Self-centered, self indulgent madness that we are talking about- not Christianity.
I say this as a Christan -you do not speak for me.
Well, that's why President Bush decided to eliminate some of the self-centered, self indulgent madness from the inauguration celebration.
I will not however claim a right to subjugate my fellow citizens for that cause
Now there's a tag line in the making!!!

Thank you. Looks like an interesting read. I am going on vacation next week, I will have to pick up his book before I go for a little beach reading.
THAT sounds good (the beach)
The book is old fashioned and clunky in a lot of ways, but his basic observations about the rise and fall of social movements still hold.
Who was the religious right's candidate?
AWESOME! Kid rock.. ROCKS!
LOL...so the speculation has been proved true, apparently. It'll be a slam dunk if KR says the same.
Either way, I still stand by what I've said. :)
