This concert is for young people attending the inauguration. Since values voters are largely responsible for continuing Bush in office it only shows them respect to have decency at this concert. And frankly, Kid Rock does not represent the values our President holds to.

Aside from this, Kid Rock music should not be sold to young people - due to lewd lyrics. I think we are throwing the kids in our country to the trash heap by allowing such garbage in the open air - in the name of free speech. If yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre is wrong, then this should be too because it leads to more teen pregnancies and abortion.

If it's a private party, I have no problem with it. As for kids who may hear Kid Rock, it should be up to the parents to determine whether they want their kids to be exposed to him.

My wife and I probably cut my kids -- I have a seventeen year-old daughter and a nine-year-old son -- more slack than most parents do. Although I do so, pointing out that what they see is not how they should necessarily act. And I do have limits to what I allow them to be exposed to.

I'd have no problems with my 17-year-old hearing Kid Rock. My nine-year-old would be another story -- but then, I wouldn't be having him attend any events on his own, in the first place.
