I posted an article yesterday with a picture of Kid Rock
and I wrote "waffle breath" on it - I was reporting on his appearance on
the Ellen DeGeneres show, where he brought her a t-shirt that
said "Eat my grits" and was joking about his recent fight at a waffle
house.
So suddenly all of these Kid Rock fans come
out of the woodwork and start commenting me, e-mailing me. I found
it especially amusing that someone said, "Know your role."
Here's is my role, kids. I am a news
blogger. I'll admit I interchanged Waffle House and IHOP in that
article - it was not an IHOP. I was reporting from news that was
submitted to me incorrectly. I was not aware that there is a
distinct enough difference to make people upset. However - who
cares what type of breakfast food is served there?
The point of the story is that he got into
a fight at 5 am after drinking and showing up at a breakfast
place. A window was broken. A guy was hit. Kid
Rock, Bob Ritchie, Robert Ritchie, whatever you like to call him, was
charged with a misdemeanor of simple battery. He was released from
the county jail on bond Sunday afternoon.
And as a news blogger, I insert my
opinion. I'm a nice girl. I give props everywhere props are
due. In the case of Kid Rock, I find him distasteful and
offensive. I will even provide you with 5 good reasons why.
Not that I have to - because you're on my blog, loves.
But I support freedom of expression, so I leave the comment sections
open.
1. I find him religiously
offensive.
While I like one song off of his
recent album, Rock 'N Roll Jesus:
I find the album as a whole offensive and
sacrilegious. He dresses as if he thinks he is Jesus, and even
refers to himself as such:
"Testify. It's a Rock revival.
Don't need a suit. Ya don't need a Bible. Get up and
dance. I'm gonna set you free, yeah. Testify: It's all
sex, drugs, rock n roll. A soul sensation that you can't
control. And you can see I practice what I preach I'm your rock 'n
roll Jesus. Yes I am." - Rock 'N Roll Jesus
2. He's immoral, and he's a bad
example for young America.
He sings that track Amen, and
three songs later in the album, there's "So Hott," where the chorus
is:
"I don't want to be your friend, I want to
f*ck you like I'm never gonna see you again."
Yes, complain about all of the problems of
the world, and then encourage people to have meaningless sex with people
they'll never see again. That won't spread HIV, no
sir.
3. He wears fur constantly. I
am avidly antifur, and anyone that
doesn't know what is done to the animals he pays
thousands for and slings on his back, is willfully ignorant.
4. This is not the first time
(recently, even!) that he has been in a fistfight. Violence is
never the answer, and he condones it through his words and his
actions. Go help promote peace.
5. He needs to wash his
hair.
So there you have it. Five good
reasons why I don't like Kid Rock. And since this is my
blog, Kid Rock fans should probably just stay away, because I doubt
there will ever be positive news to report about him.
