4. He's not a "kid", nor does he "rock".
Discuss amongst yourselves.

8. The only thing I can figure
The only thing I can figure is that Kid Rock represents some kind of new white trash aesthetic. A hero for our times.

10. Because
he's fu*king Pamela Anderson. I think that's his biggest claim to fame.

12. He was famous before he hooked up with Pamela
and I hear he's sharing double duty with Pam's ex to keep her happy :D

Some women just have it like that :D

15. Kid Rock was the first successful redneck rapper
That's why he was there last night. He bridges the gap between country and P Diddy, he's sort of a hybrid between Toby Keith and Marshall Mathers. He's actually quite talented. He has a duet with Sheryl Crowe that was commercially successful as a country song and caused my Venezuelean coworker to buy his first Americano CD. I heard Alyssa Milano had a crush on the Kid Rock as well. The skinny greasy longhair look must be popular with some women, it seems to have replaced the mullet for Yankee rednecks. It worked on Kate Hudson.
That being said, I think Kid Rock's performance was inappropriate for family viewing. What really steamed me up was the way the flag was used in his performance. I felt that that was extraordinarily appalling.

16. Because people are stupid.
And have very little taste of their own. Most people like to be told who's good and who's not. MTV dictates this shit. MTV was the death of music.

18. Jello said it all
The lowest common denominator rules
Forget honesty
Forget creativity
The dumbest buy the mostest
That's the name of the game

But sales are slumping
And no one will say why
Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!?

M.T.V.-Get off the air!
NOW
