He was cute when he was 30. Now, not so cute.

This right wing zealot is trying to rehabilitate his image after he supported Romney. Romney was against the GM bailouts and so was Rock. Now, he is seeing a backlash as a result of his right wing political affiliations and is trying to back track. People have memories and I don't think working people will be viewing him with affection at any time in the near future. He will probably continue with the support of the wealthy elite, the group he seems to identify with the most.

Must confess that I really don't know much about this performer, other than his short lived marriage to Pamela Anderson which he responded to very well in this piece. Hard to figure how such a rebellious hard core guy could have supported Mitt Romney, but, oh well, the elections are over. I enjoyed hearing how much he has supported his hometown and laughed when he told the story from his youth regarding his dad picking him for a dental appointment while he was hanging out with his "homies".

It figures that such a talentless zero would step forward to be an advocate for Detroit. I notice that Diana Ross is conspicuously silent on the matter.

What was it that made this 'son of Detroit' support the guy who was willing to let Detroit go the way of the dinosaur? Too many drugs or has Bobby been watching Sponge Bob Squarepants again? I've been a musician for over 40 years. I personally like Kid Rock and think he is very talented, but he will never replace Bob Seger as Detroit's most famous rocker.

"Let Detroit go down the drain"? Insanity...

Unions and Democrats have led Detroit, (along with Flint, Saginaw, and Pontiac) to where they're at today. Good luck getting either of them to revitalize Detroit.

And it pays to be a musical chameleon: Kid Rock has sold 27 million albums worldwide, and filled arenas from coast to coast with a show that is equal parts music and mayhem.

He's trying to create his own style, or he's trying to cater to a bunch of niche audiences.

Two sentences on his strong support of Romney? The candidate who would have let Detroit go down the drain? Wow, great journalism here. Or is this just a link to OMG?
