Kid Rock: So much more than rapping Here’s a bit of an inside view of the life of Kid Rock. If you don’t dig it then that’s cool, just move on. I know the guy probably has more haters than almost anyone but I dig him and he has put out some really great rock and roll. It’s easy to slate him and hate on the whole rap thing but there is so much more to him than that. Other than the music he’s a really great guy who does a lot of good. The US soldiers stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan love him because he takes the trouble to go there and plays to them. He writes stuff they can identify with like Let’s Ride ( elsewhere on this site, check it out). He stands up for freedom of speech, he calls it the way he sees it and he doesn’t do politically correct bullshit, there are a lot of reasons to like this guy. In case you need convincing I have included the video clip of him spending Christmas in Iraq and one of this special needs dude having his 30th at a diner and someone has arranged for KR to arrive and surprise him. The guy is Kid Rock’s No 1 fan and you gotta see the look on his face, it’s priceless. It’s things like this that really make a difference in people’s lives.
