And baptised by the blood, sweat, and music of Mr. Bob Ritchie!
I am now a proud member of the Kid Rock Congregation!
Saving lives one song, one kind word, one high five at a time!
Yes, it was that amazing. It was that dramatic and it was that biblical. Rock phonies of the world stand up, recognize, and take notes. Here's a regular guy who just happens to be a famous rock star. He respects himself, his fans, and the history of all types of music.
*I have never been to a show where the performer took a few minutes to stop everything and thank us for coming. He said he knew that times were tough and money was tight but he wanted to stop and thank each of us for coming out and spending our hard earned money to come and hang with him. Later on, he would have us stop and turn to someone we didn't know and high five or shake their hand. What an outstanding idea and gesture. It made us all feel closer.
That's a stand up guy.
That's someone who is real.
We love you Kid! Thanks for a great show! I don't know how you do it for 3 hours, but you rocked the house.

At our backs the castle door,
others feel free to ignore
this extension of extended metaphor
On the porch swings where we sit,
quick of tongue and fleet of wit
games and poems to submit
Open books in open hands,
poetry from other lands,
lyrics from our favorite bands
A telling word, a single note,
and meaning in a random quote:
significance of what we wrote
Different cultures and aesthetic,
for this we're not apologetic!
We are just beyond poetic!
Killers, X Files, Broken Bride
never are these words denied,
here they often all collide
from the early light of dawn,
as we used to, still wait on
the random poetry anons
Jack White, movies, TBS,
have you wisdom to profess?
Here, the answer's always "Yes"
Here we play, by words transfixed,
Haiku and pop culture mixed,
nothing broken, nothing fixed
Here is truth and here's creation
joy and horror, pain, elation,
in a story, small salvation
And here is laughter, here we're free
to be whatever we may be
and though others may disagree,
we greet the castle, greet its lord
and do so of our own accord
and shun the frothing, rabid horde
Be it known I'd so much rather
read my friends and all their "blather,"
on the porch here, where we gather.

Go With The Flow
This River Is Wild
Leaves are falling down
On the beautiful ground
I heard a story from the man in red
He said the leaves are falling down
Such a beautiful sound so I think you
Son, I think you better go ahead
But you always hold your head up high
Cause it's a long, long, long way down
This town was meant for passing through
But it ain't nothing new
Now go and show them
That the world stayed round
But it's a long, long, long way down
You better run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
And watch it turn
I just want to show you what I know
And catch you when the current lets you go
Or should I just get along with myself
I never did get along with everybody else
I've been trying hard to do what's right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky
This river is wild
This river is wild
The Killers

any poor souls
who trespass against us
Whether it be beast or man
Will suffer the bite
or be stung dead on sight
By those who inhabit this land
For theirs is the power
And this is their kingdom
as sure as the sun does burn
So enter this path
but heed these four words...
......you shall never return.

I'm still in shock. All I wanted to do was lick that tattoo across his back. Did you notice that when he said, "Where's all my single ladies?", I totally raised my hand?
I did. I totally did. And to be fair, I think my husband even raised his hand. O_o
Ahhhhhhhhhh, Bob Ritchie.
It sounds like you guys had a blast!
I think that's so awesome that he had audience members connect with one another. I think that's important, and so friggin' awesome.
I hope you're both well-rested with this time change shit and all!
Oh God, Mustard. You should have seen my moment of sheer panic and terror. O_O
You know how I don't like to touch people, right? Well, when he told everyone to turn around and high-five a stranger I was like, "Oh shit. I can't do this!"
It was sooooo scary for me. Meanwhile, my husband is slapping everyone within fifteen feet of him. At least he slapped enough hands for the both of us. ^_^
Well, did you end up high-fiving someone?!

Aha! I can so picture this in my head.
Crawling over people to high-five someone.
I love high-fives. They're personal, yet impersonal.
I think I did one lady. She was drunk off her ass. O_O
I just tense up at the thought of touching somebody that I don't know! Then Solly was like, "What if Frank told you to high-five someone? Would you do it?"
I was like, "Uhhhh, sure. I think so. Maybe. Yeah. I'd high-five him for sure." ^_~
glad you had such an amaaaaazing time sisters!!
it sounds utterly fantastic. he sounds like a really down to earth guy!
I'd high-five him for sure." ^_~
hells we'd all be in the queue to high five frankie boy!
Smoke,
Kid's tattoo is too hot for words. I'm so glad he finally took off that shirt for us.
Oh and FYI gals...when he asked "where's all my single ladies?"....he totally did NOT ask us to moan or fake orgasm for him.
How shocking!!
All he asked us to do was shout "Kid"...while the dudes shouted "Rock, Rock!".
That's right! He's such a gentleman. ^_~ He really is.
I just want to squeeze him one time. That's all. He'd totally let me, too.
Wanna go to town later this afternoon, Solly?
Yep, I suppose.
I need to, but it sucks cuz I am so freaking tired.
Me, too.
Say sometime after lunch?
Call me later.
I admit I don't know much about this dude. I guess I'd always thought that he was one of the "bitches and ho's" contingent, like Eminem or something, but I guess I was wrong?
Either way, I never thought I'd see the day when reviews were making Kid Rock out to be more respectable and respectful and sincere than MCR. >_< God damn stupid Gerard.
I'm glad you guys all had a swell time. I hope you have some pics to post! ^_^
Well, he was married to Pamela Anderson. So he likes fake boobs? Lots of men do.
See the difference is he doesn't ask his fans to do stupid shit like that for him. The only thing he asks of his fans is to be nice and respect each other and have a good time.
So anyhoo.....
"Only God Knows Why"
Read the lyrics and watch his latest video:
"Amen"
Did you know that he makes it a point to go and visit the soldiers in Iraq? He made a dedication last night to a local soldier.
See, that's what it's about.
Sdock!
How are we today besides tired?m
I'm just still feeling pretty quiet, ya know? Really feeling Mayo's post.
How are you besides a meffing headache?
So, you too, huh?
Damn thing hit me like a ton of bricks this morning. Well, it did after about the fourth time through, and then the "Remote."
I'm all like, "I get this. I kinda get you."
Or he gets me, but it's whatever.
Excluding the headache, I guess I'm okay. Not in as good a humor as last night, but that's okay.
Yeah, I keep reading it. Relate much? Oh yes. It's almost like he listens to our conversations.
Now, I'm listening to a cd that I haven't listened to in years.
Tori Amos, Little Earthquakes. Funny how the lyrics hold so much more meaning now.
Why do we crucify ourselves? Niiiiiiiiice!
That's awesome. I love pulling out old stuff. It's like hearing it again for the first time, and I find things in there that I never saw the first time around.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiice! I just saw the anon at Mayo's.
I was wondering how long it would take to drag my name into it.
The lyrics just really fit my life now. It's crazy.
Silent All These Years....Extra Nice!
Solly, we are writing porn to Mayo. O_o

I am too Solly, but for different reasons, I think. ;D
STFU. ^_~
Are we going to AIM later?
I will be back in a little bit.
Gonna eat some supper, make a couple phone calls, and take a bath, maybe write some stuff too.
Gotta work on my love note!!
Have fun!!!
I'd like to AIM later if possible, sure. :D
Just got here!
What ya been doin?
Hey guys! I don't like Mayo's today, the anons, Lombard, all that junk. We gonna chat? I'll be on in a bit if anyone wants to hang. I need to spill some guts. ^_____^
STFU! ;D
Yep, I'm ready.
Not much, Sdock!
And ready Freddy!
See, Mayo's was quiet for, like, three days straight. The anons rocked my face off because they made actual contributions to what we've got going on. But, today?
Just bums me out.
Yep, I just stay away when it gets like that.
Oh, hell. Here we go.
One more time, it's in the blood.
;)
I got me some new herbal sleep stuff. I can't wait to rock it out tonight and see if it works.
I am telling you this in case I don't show up tomorrow. You will know that I am dead. Killed by a Valerian overdose.
Sdock! Don't say that.
You got it shipped to you?
Hopefully it will do the job. Set a couple of alarms just in case.
No, they had it at Wal Mart.
Those pills smell like shit.
Muhahaha.
Ewww.
Hey, but if it works!
SOlly, I'm so glad! ^_____^
AIM, let's go! :D
AIM is a MEFFER!!!!!
Damn it all to hell. I've tried like five times and it keeps kicking me out. Sonofabitch.
Well, you guys have fun. Maybe when I finally get my DSL I'll be able to chat with you.
See you all tomorrow.
XOXO,
S&V20
