Kid Rock is an "American Badass!"

I get tired of movie stars and rappers and football players and their Mercedes, Bentleys, Porsches and BMWs. Where's your pride in America, that's the only country in the world that you can ply your trade in and make millions of dollars so you can afford to live like a king? And you show off in foriegn cars? At least Elvis always drove Cadillacs, or Pontiac Gran Prix-based custom Stutz Blackhawks. Frank Sinatra always drove Cadillacs or Lincolns, and had one of the few legendary Ford Ghias built in the early '60's. Joe Namath had a Dodge Charger. Jan Berry, of "Jan and Dean" fame was nearly killed when he wrecked his 427 Corvette. At least Kid Rock stays true to his Detroit roots. He has a Supercharged Hemi Super Bee that is legendary among the Michigan State Police, who don't even try to pull him over anymore. In the video for his latest hit- "Born Free" he rides a Harley and cruises around in a gorgeous customized 1964 Pontiac Bonneville convertible. He's been on the speed channel driving NASCAR racers and Top Fuel dragsters, and testing musclecars on the show "Top Gear."  He's been derided for saying that anyone who drives a hybrid is a dork. Mostly by dorks that drive hybrids-like Leonardo Di Caprio or Alexandra Paul. He goes hunting with Ted Nugent and Hank Williams Jr, and doesn't care what liberal Hollywood thinks of him. He doesn't want to adopt third-world orphans or abolish nuclear weapons, or push his beliefs on anyone else. Your right, Kid, "We never met a mother @#$er like you!"  Wish there were more. I know this is a little off-topic, but If I see another movie star or basketball player on MTV Cribs or in "Rides" magazine with 4 Bentleys or 5 Bimmers, and  drug or rape charges hanging over his head, talking crap about freedom and civil rights, and being a good American, I'm gonna vomit.
