Republican Convention to try to Rock the Youth Vote
I saw a post of some of the musicians for the Rep. Convention.
Personally I could care less about redneck "kid rock"

Republicans disputed and declared kid rock a disgrace for
his ratty looking flag attire, he is now a guest at the Rep. National
Convention???????? Hope he wears the flag draped around him for
his appearance.

Even a bigger disappointment........Johnny Lang to appear! His
hit song "Lie to me" would be appropriate.

Made me sad.....I really loved Johnny Lang.

3. Yes, but once Wayne Newton and Charlie Daniels appear . ..
There's not question but that the youth vote will rush to support Bushius Maximus :puke:

Right after monkeys fly out of my butt . . .

18. I guess the Mob has to have an appearance
Mob has close ties to GOP ever since before Nixon. I remember the BeBe Rebozo scandal. Wayne Newton is right up there.

5. Is Kid Rock going to perform "Cowboy"
-snip-
Yeah, Kid Rock you can call me Tex
Rollin sunset woman with a bottle of Becks
Seen a slimmy in a 'vette, rolled down my glass
And said, "Yeah this dick fits right in your ass"
No kiddin, gun slingin, spurs hittin the floor
Call me Hoss, I'm the Boss, with the sauce in the horse
No remorse for the sherrif, in his eye I ain't right
I'm gonna paint his town red, and paint his wife white, uh
Cause chaos, rock like Amadeus
Find West Coast pussy for my Detroit players
Mack like mayors, ball like Lakers
They told us to leave, but bet they can't make us
Why they wanna pick on me... lock me up and snort away my key
I ain't no G, I'm just a regular failure
I ain't straight outta Compton I'm straight out the trailer
Cuss like a sailor, drink like a Mick
My only words of wisdom are just "Suck My Dick"
-snip-

8. Kid Rock Pro-Choice? Teen Drugs? 15 year old sex?
Here are some lyrics from the song "Black Chick White Guy":


Black chick, white guy
Does it mean shit, maybe
I don't know, but yo it never phased me
But either way here's one tail
Of two like that and what prevailed
It started way back in the eigth grade
In the small old town where the two both stayed
He came from a family of middle class
Where everything he did he always had to ask
She came from a place that was so alone
You know the same old tail of a broken home
Her momma was an alkie and more like a friend
Had three different kids from three different men
And that's just the way shit was
Couldn't change it, couldn't rearrange it so there it was
Anyway the two kept on
With the phone calls notes and so on and so on
And after the bullshitin and whatten
That day came the two started fuckin
All the time you know kids habit's
Every single day fuckin like rabbits
Sneakin out the car when he was 15
Climbin in the window and fuckin all night see
Fuckin during lunch in the junior high bathrooms
Drinking champagne and trippin on mushrooms
His dick was metal her pussy was a magnet
Ninth grade came, I'm pregnant
Shit got frantic and man oh Lord it was a tough decision
But they decided to abort it
It might have been right, it might have been wrong
But one thing's for sure, it really fucked his head up
Where is it, who is it, how is it, was it right
These are the things he thought in bed at night
A lot of people might laugh at this
But fuck em they don't know the half of it

Ain't no sunshine when you're low
I'm low
People tell me life's a game, I'm not playin
Bitches don't mean shit to me anymore
I have taken my blows, I'm still standin

Now as time went on the the two kept on
They kept seeing each other off and on
See she moved to the city and you know what happened
Black chick with a real white accent
Pretty girl in the ghetto go figure
Yeah she got macked by some dope dealin nigger
Still seein that other kid on the side
She kept most of her thoughts inside
See all the first guy did was just love her
While that punk mother fucker used to beat her and punch her
She was livin all wild
I think all she ever wanted was the love of her own child
She asked the first guy to have his baby
He looked at her like she must be crazy
He was makin records and goin on tour
20,000 people hip hoppin on the floor
And all that while she sat at home and got macked
If she stepped out of line she got slapped
And then one day she prayed to the Lord to take that guy away
And he did he got caught with a loaded gun
And went to jail, but first she had his son
Ooohh and now what to do
She had no man, no money, and no clue
Now the other guy came back from tourin
And she called him up early one mornin
They hooked up her mind was blown
As he began to raise her son as his own
And that's a lot of shit to deal with man
And if you ain't been there you wouldn't understand
And people still laugh at this shit
Fuck em they don't know the half of it

Ain't no sunshine when you're low
I'm low
People tell me life's a game I'm not playin
Bitches don't mean shit to me anymore
I have taken my blows, I'm still standin

Now for the next year there was some good times
A few bad times, mostly good times
See he was a ramblin man to the bone
He liked women and wine and he loved to roam
Not like she was any kind of Saint
See in this story there's a lot of red paint
But time kept slippin and made her crazy
And she talked about havin another baby
The guy was like, Oooh Lord
We got one now that we can't afford
But she convinced she could handle even two
Said I want your child or I'm leavin you
I can't figure out why then he didn't run
I guess he was attached to her and her son
All confused about what to do
That girl met another guy and was fuckin him too
Slut
Could barely pay her rent
And then the same old shit, I'm pregrant
And if that ain't some shit cuz
The girl didn't even know who the father was
And still by her side the first guy stayed
Head gettin more fucked by the day
He stuck it out for nine months I don't know why
And then a little girl on the Fourth of July
Was born in the front seat of his car
It was amazing
Kinda like a shooting star
He was happy told his family and friends
Only to realize later his little girl wasn't his
And that crushed him quick
Suicidal thoughts were in his head real thick
But before he found all that out
From the same chic another kid popped out
And that shit's real ill
Girl told him that she was takin the fuckin pill
She must have known all along
The little girl wasn't his and she was tryin to latch on
Three different kids from three different men
History repeats itself again
And after some more shit got stirred
He kicked that bitch to the curb
And now from her he's got a little boy that makes him laugh a bit
Huh, And he loves him
But still you don't know the fuckin half of it

Ain't no sunshine when you're low
I'm low
People tell me life's a game I'm not playin
Bitches don't mean shit to me anymore
I have taken my blows, I'm still standin
I'm still standin
I'm still standin
I'm still standiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

13. As a fellow Minnesotan, I never did like Johnny Lang. Something
about a well to do, prepubescent white boy, singing the blues that seemed a bit phony to me ;)

Never dug Brittney, Kid Rock or anyone on the list but Aerosmith, and even they never totally rocked my world.

16. "Kid Rock" is the kind of guy most repukes hate.
The average repuke convention delegate is a middle aged white guy or woman who either belongs to a country club or likes to vacation in Branson. They'll all try to escape to the lobby at once when he comes on. It ought to be pretty funny watching their expressions.

22. Rock the Youth Vote?
The kids are gonna go nuts when Frazier and Ron Silver take the stage!
They'll probably be singing a duet by Gilbert and Sullivan.
Steven Tyler? Do college kids really idolize a vulgar 56 year-old man in a leotard?
Brooks and Dunn? What's that, some kind of magic act?
This is the most pathetic line-up imaginable.
Do you buy tickets or do they pay the audience to sit through it?

We have Springsteen, Mellencamp, Raitt and Matthews.
Why do the Republicans even bother?
