While much of his music is outside of my personal taste, he’s a great American for all that he’s done for our troops. After reading this diary, I’d say he’s also one of the few entertainers that also has a common-sense brain. Kudos to Kid Rock.

He hasn’t had his head so inflated by success to the point he thinks hes some icon that can tell people what to think and how to vote.

Way to go Kid! Great concert in Memphis, by the way.

I actually like his music. But Richie is also one heck of a patriot- going on USO tours all the time and always helping the troops. He also is a conservative as far as supporting Bush and McCain. He is friends with Gene Simmons who also is a huge conservative rocker.. great guys..

basically said the same thing in an interview I read.

I think it was Jack Parr who asked Jackie Gleason who he was going to vote for in 1960 Presidentual election.
He said he wouldn’t say because then people who liked him for his acting would vote for who he choose, and that would be wrong, because they would be voting for the wrong reason.
Mr. Rock also sees this, to his compliment.
And I’m not that old. I seen that in a recent documentary on PBS.

Kid Rock was at the first USO show in Kuwait and again in Iraq. I missed both by several hundred miles, but it wasn’t forgotten.

I heard Sean Penn was over there around the same time (2003), but somehow we just never connected. We were looking for him too

we wouldn’t get gems like this one from Cameron Diaz on the 2004 election:

“Women have so much to lose. I mean, we could lose the right to our bodies. We could lo–if you think that rape should be legal, then don’t vote. But if you think that you have a right to your body, and you have a right to say what happens to you and fight off that danger of losing that, then you should vote.”

And where did the Dems hide Barbara Streisand during this most recent election? Did they finally learn that she annoys so many people that they were better off banishing her from the island?

What a great example to the rest of Hollyweird.

Loved the Greenville, SC concert – it was truly the best concert I have ever been to.

the other (Eminem) is a raving loon

It is always nice to hear someone say something sane.

To give his opinion on politics by saying that rockers should not say anything about politics.

I do disagree with him though. I feel that any citizen has a right to say what they feel about an election. It’s a decision that will affect them personally. A political decision is different from a decision about a song. I may not know anything about music theory, so I shouldn’t open my mouth when someone is discussing the pros and cons of different arias. But if a decision is to be made about our national anthem for instance, then I have a right to open my mouth if I have a disagreement.

When celebrities decide to involve them selves in politics they take a risk. Look at Oprah, she lost a lot of viewers by supporting Obama. But if anyone decided to vote for Obama based on her endorsement, that says a lot more about that voter than it does about Oprah.
