... sample other people's music. Warren Zevon's Werewolves of London comes to mind. Yes I've heard Kid Rocks music cos it comes on the radio. Not a particularly big fan of his music. Or him. And certainly not his politics. The late Warren Zevon had better politics that's for sure.

To the best of my knowledge he's not working ANYWHERE. His snub to California would be the same as my pledging to no longer buy Rolex watches. (Hint: I don't buy Rolex watches, so NOT buying them is no big deal to Rolex.) Get it!?

These clowns are so silly. Absurd. Ridiculous!

Kid Rock can stop selling his music everywhere as far as I am concerned. Backwards ass hillybilly looking redneck is way overrated and I should know hillbillies I'm from West Virginia. Maybe he can find a market for his music in Russia.

That's the only music he has. He bought those CDs for a penny back in the 80s and was looking to regain his money.
