Of all the people to say something brilliant, Kid Rock would not be at the top of the list – but perhaps he should be after this statement:
"Why is everybody trying to stop the war? George Bush ain’t been saying, ‘You all, make s-y records.’ Politicians and music don’t mix. It’s like whisky and wine. [Musicians] ought to stay out of it."
But it doesn’t take much nudging to hear the Kid’s policy analysis. "We got to kill that mother-[bleeper] Saddam," he says. "Slit his throat. Kill him and the guy in North Korea."
Are some women and children going to die? "Yeah. But is doing the right thing. You got money, you sit around talking about peace. People who don’t have money need some help."
It may not be brilliant policy analysis, but it is certainly no less inane than the drivel coming out of the mouths of Sheryl Crow or George Clooney.
Appropriate enough, coming from a fellow who did a song called Cowboy… 🙂
Perseverance is a great element of success; if you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate you are sure to wake up somebody.
