After not having been online much in the last few days I come back and notice that there are tons of Kid Rock articles in the news. What's up with that? He seems to be more important than I thought.

Kid Rock is this generations David Lee Roth.
In that he is a no talent, loud mouthed asshole, who is full of himself. Another "look at me" class clown who has somehow fooled enough people - including himself - into thinking he is a rock star.
He will be be Van Halen's 7th new front man in 2011

08:47:40, Categories: Music News, AP Kid Rock Talks About Pam, The Fight, And Why He Wants To Stop Being Tabloid Fodder
NEW YORK (AP) - Despite selling millions of records and notching several hits, Kid Rock is better known these days for his tabloid antics than his music.
As anyone who keeps up with pop culture knows, he married Pamela Anderson last year, a union that ended quickly and disastrously. He recently accused of her of being a manipulator, and Anderson has already remarried. In addition, Kid Rock recently punched Anderson's ex, Tommy Lee, at the MTV Music Video Awards.
Now, the 36-year-old is trying to put the focus back on his music with the release of his sixth studio album, ''Rock N Roll Jesus.'' Rock sat down with The Associated Press to talk about why this album is a make-it-or-break-it disc for him, living the celebrity life and getting over Anderson.
AP: In the past, your music has not been genre specific. Does this album follow that same formula?
Rock: In my previous albums I have always touched on different genres whether it has been hip-hop, country and the rock element. On this one I just feel more comfortable in my own skin than I have ever felt as an artist, songwriter, as a father, just as a human being. This is the record that everything has come together on. The songwriting has really stepped up, the playing, the singing and all those genres that I've stepped in and been like a creative chameleon. It really kind of shines in this record in a great way. I think I really nailed it on this record.
AP: Are you afraid that your tabloid headlines will overshadow your music?
Rock: There is no question. I think it has in the last few years, definitely. The personal antics have overshadowed the music. I never wanted that but I knew what I was getting into when I got into everything I got into. The stove was hot and I wanted to touch it. I touched it and it burnt the hell out of me. I'm thankful that I proved myself in music which is my first love, my first passion before I got involved in this media, whatever you want to call it. I am hoping to bring it back to the music now.
AP: Are you worried that the damage is already done and no matter how hard you try, people who once were fans are not going to take you seriously?
Rock: I've always been honest enough with myself and my fans. They can see through what is real and what's not. People know that tabloids are just a form of entertainment. It's not truth. They are not looking for truth. They are not looking for the truth in US Weekly. It's just entertainment. Something to do while you are on the toilet.
AP: When you make headlines for doing bad things, such as slapping Tommy Lee, are you worried that your son is going to imitate you?
Rock: No. I'm not worried about headlines affecting my family, especially my son. He knows who I am. Whatever these things he is reading, he has a different perspective than the rest of the world just as a lot of my friends do. You can only go so far with a headline and there are two sides to every story, so I am not worried about it.
AP: Do you regret marring Pam Anderson?
Rock: No. I fell in love. It was a great thing to be in love. I was a complete idiot in love. I always say getting married was a ball. I had a blast getting married. Loved it so much I got married six or seven times or whatever it was. Being married sucked. Maybe for some people it is not meant to be.
AP: Will you allow a girl to steal your heart again?
Rock: I'm single and loving it. It is always weird talking about that stuff. When someone is talking about who they are going out with, I am always like, who cares? Talk about your music or something. Then I always get roped up in it. I love women and I love the women I have been with. I always try to be kind and cautious and treat people nice. Right now, I don't want to be tied down. I don't want to settle down. I don't want I love you.
AP: How much of the album was inspired by your failed relationship?
Rock: The best formula for revenge is success. It kind of made sense to me. As much as you don't want to say you are a vengeful person, when someone drags your name through the mud and plays press games and puts things out there like that, you are kind of like, alright. US Weekly will be gone next week, the songs I am writing won't.
AP: Eminem wrote about his ex Kim as well. Is there something in the water in Detroit?
Rock: It is a good point. I was trying to explain to someone. I have no problem with this, but I just wasn't raised a granola eating, peace love hippie type person. I'm from Michigan and was raised in and around Detroit where it is kind of you get respect and you give respect. That is how I feel today. I don't want to be some tough guy like, look who I punched out. I don't want that reputation, but I do believe in standing up for what you believe in and your family and your friends. I'm no saint but I do believe in what is right.
AP: Do you have any regrets about punching Tommy Lee?
Rock: No. I just don't.
AP: What constitutes success for you on this album?
Rock: I wouldn't be honest with myself if I said that it wouldn't hurt if this album didn't sell. It would. It would be painful because I think it is my best album to date. I think it is a great body of work, my best body of work that I have ever done. Of course I want people to show up to the concerts and I am sure for that to decline would be a difficult thing. I am scared of being broke and famous. I think that would be the biggest curse. ... that really scares the hell out of me. That helps me to make myself better and always try to improve as a songwriter and singer so I don't ever have to face that.

Kid Rock's albums actually have improved over the years. I truly think he cares about the music he makes nowadays. And the fact that he plays all the instruments on his album is pretty respectable too. imhfo

Son, take my advice and carefully put down that bud and slowly move away from the bong.
Everythings going to be OK....
just put on some Allman's and relax. Eventually this will pass and you will sober up again.

I'm just sayin' man. *cough*
I mean take a look at this:
and compare it to this:
of course he's still not that great, but he's improving and getting more musical with every new album he makes.
but the fact that he refers to himself as the rock n' roll Jesus is a bunch bull, of course.
