Say what you will about Kid Rock, he's good for Michigan tourism and it didn't cost us a dime. I'm guessing he'll do more of the same in the future.

The video for those who don't want to go to the site.

Kid Rock - Born Free

Michigan, more than Detroit.

I’ve never been up there in the fall but I’d love to go sometime.

Some other Michigan pics on this thread too.

Five places on my go list are Holland, Houghton, Pictured Rocks, Isle Royale, and the Porcupine Mountains.

I've been to just about everywhere else in this state.

Tahquamenon is nice too. In fact I prefer the state parks.

Kid Rock is also a conservative who made several trips to visit our troops overseas immediately after 9-11....

Try the glass bottom boats at Munising - very cool! Plus the Shipwreck museum at Whitefish Point - the bell off of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Lots of neat things in Michigan - 8 mile ain’t one of them though (war zone).

More than 5 times actually. I have a friend who works at the USO at LAX and he told me Kid Rock has never said no. When I talked to him, he was busy confirming the dates for the cast of SONS OF ANARCHY to visit American GI’s stationed in the Middle East.

That video made me sad. Manufacturing helped build this country and Unions destroyed it. The jobs are in China .. our Country is run by Commies - foreign and domestic.

Who is going to save us....

Well, I’m glad to have met this Kid Rock. Never heard of him before, but then I’m old. I’ve been to Oscoda, Mich. Band played at Wurtsmith AFB. I think that’s the only place we went in Mich. on purpose. “Oscoda will never be confused with Las Vegas”, as one reporter who went on that trip commented. He wrote a funny piece for the Lynchburg,VA paper about his experience going on a “road” trip with the band.

We're going to save us. Keep an eye on the midwest, we've taken a hard right turn and are now beating the unions back.

I'm personally pushing to overturn the great lakes directional drilling ban to spur things on a bit. If you remember it, be sure to pass the thought along to your congressman.

I don’t have a lot of positive energy right now about the unions. Case in point:

The USPS debacle

That looked like the cliff shown in the Count of Montecristo.
