5. He's a right wing asshole, and not a particularly skilled musician either, but whatever....

Kid Rock

After Mitt Romney made a pilgrimage to Kid Rock's Michigan home to secure the rap-rocker's coveted endorsement, Rock sang "Born Free" at a Romney rally – then played a fundraiser at a country club in Romney's hometown, where he was joined onstage by vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan.

11. Well, I suppose he could have been calling Kid Rock mentally disabled, but that's not how I read it.

I wonder if Riftaxe will add this to their journal? Out of curiosity, I just had a look, and their lone journal entry is:

I am implying that you are a sick son of a bitch

who gets some sort of thrill from murder and suffering just so you can get a temporary high.

Basically i am saying that you lack any sort of humanity if it interferes with your buzz, i am straight forward calling you a worthless human being who missed the glory days when you could goose step with your friends.

Did that clarify it for you?

You are the reason we are not allowed to post pictures of suffering.

and I followed the link and it was to a hidden post.

What an odd choice for a journal entry

17. +1,000! I may not agree with his politics, but *this* was very cool of him. I am almost 52 years old

and I love his music. If you listen to some of his songs, it's hard to imagine him being a republican.... I'd have to say "Rock~n~Roll Jesus" is his best album so far, IMHO. He shows his talent in a range from rap, rock, blues & new orleans jazz. The man, as a musician, can draw a crowd from all ages.

just my 2 cents worth...


Peace,

Ghost

14. Funny thing about him is that he lives right next door to my cousin.

And my cousin is a staunch Democrat and perennial mayoral candidate in Detroit.

My cuz really doesn't have any bad things to say about the guy, despite the differences in their politics.
