Wife beater and drug abuser Kid Rock performs for Romney.

ROYAL OAK, Mich. (WXYZ) - Hundreds of people packing the Royal Oak Music Theater for Mitt Romney's campaign event were treated to a special performance by Kid Rock.

The Detroit superstar performed his hit Born Free after Romney delivered his speech to the enthusiastic crowd.

The event had been billed to feature a special musical guest, but no details were provided about who it would be ahead of time.

Throughout his campaign Romney has used Kid Rock's Born Free at appearances. The singer also introduces Romney in a video used at campaign stops.

Both support Republicans. Both are hypocrites.

Kid Rock said (regarding the Dixie Chicks) celebrities should not be involved in politics. Obviously those rules do not apply to right wingers.

Are you thinking of Tommy Lee? Both Kid Rock and Tommy Lee were married to Pamela Anderson (at different times); Tommy Lee was sent to jail for beating her.

He's just a shitty musician (which I GUESS could count as a form of abuse, if there were justice in the world.)

Almost as much as when the candidate himself kisses babies. I wonder if they give each other advice on their investments.

My friend went to one in 2010 and he had a gigantic confederate flag from the top of the stage to the bottom.

A white dude from the Detroit Suburbs plays in front of the Confederate Flag? Was the Nazi flag too over the top?
