I like the song; great lyrics, but the melody is a blatant rip-off of Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London". Can't believe no one ever pressed that.
That aside, he'd be a huge upgrade over DD.
Definitely not part of the DC establishment contingent of the Republican Party.
Best of Luck, Jeff
would be nice to see more of the man and what he stands for and AGAINST
A very tough thing to do.

"...The website does not feature Rock’s potential policy positions; the musician has in the past described himself as “more libertarian” than anything else, and previously campaigned for Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election.
Rock also endorsed Donald Trump during the 2016 race, telling Rolling Stone in an interview that Trump’s business background would be beneficial to the country.
“My feeling: Let the motherf—king business guy run it like a f—king business,” he told the outlet in February of last year..."
Seriously.
All I care about are his beliefs and his love, or not, of The Constitution.
More, like a rock. :-)
Maybe Ted prodded the kid on? :-)
Doubt Frey would've been interested. And Seger still tours. He's a travlin' man. :-)

"...
On Thursday, Rock launched his first major attack on his potential democratic opponent, incumbent Sen. Debbie Stabenow.
According to Detroit News, the senator slammed Rock's entry in to the race, saying he was better “at guitar,” but wasn’t a serious politician. The rapper fired back, saying he would be the voice for “tax paying, hardworking Americans.”
“I concede she is better at playing politics than I am so I'll keep doing what I do best, which is being a voice for tax paying, hardworking AMERICANS and letting politicians like her know that We the People are sick and tired of their bulls***!” said Kid Rock.
Criticism of Rock’s senate bid echo similar comments made about President Trump, with many calling his entry in to the republican primary a "publicity stunt."
“President Trump was thought to be more of a publicity stunt prior to him pulling the trigger on the 2016 presidential race. So I think it’s possible that with the election of Trump we see more of this,” said a Political Science professor from Oakland University."
I'd be well pleased if the Kid proves my initial impression of him to be wrong.....
Everyone here wants strict Constitutionalists without any left-leaning anything for all positions in government. They feel so strongly in their convictions that they feel everyone else that's conservative and centrists will vote for their brand too. The problem is, these sorts of folks are not getting elected in large numbers. This is Michigan. It's loaded with urban voters. If anyone's going to beat the Democratic incumbant, it's Kid Rock.
As for his views. I know he is pro 2A. He doesn't care if Tony wants to become Tonya. He is Proabortion as well.
I am not a Michigan resident so no worry in me voting for him. However I don't have to agree with everything he stands for for me to support him.
Odds are that if you replaced all with random people off the street, nothing would change other than a slight shift in recognition of the little taxpaying serfdom.

Qualifications? You mean like the current crop of "qualified" incumbents? The FF fully intended for a citizen government. Not as a full time career, but serve a term or two and go back to civilian life.
On Gun Control "Getting rid of them is not the answer. The guy who got Osama bin Laden was on Fox News. His daddy raised him in Montana, hunting, fishing. He got it from hunting. What that kid knows is fucking valuable. Shooting 200 yards is hard. To be able to make 1,000-yard shots? I'm glad we have some people like that on our side." – Rolling Stone, February 2015
On Gay Marriage and Abortion "I am definitely a Republican on fiscal issues and the military, but I lean to the middle on social issues. I am no fan of abortion, but it's not up to a man to tell a woman what to do. As an ordained minister I don't look forward to marrying gay people, but I'm not opposed to it." – The Guardian, January 2015
On Freedom of Speech "Rap-rock was what people wanted at the time, and they still love those songs at shows. But it turned into a lot of bullshit and it turned out to be pretty gay … If someone says you can’t say 'gay' like that you tell them to go fuck themselves. You're not going to get anything politically correct out of me." – The Guardian, January 2015
On His Wealth "I'm not just wealthy, I'm loaded. I can say that because I'm not embarrassed – I've made a fuck-ton of money, but I've never made a dishonest dollar. I try to do right by the people around me." – The Guardian, January 2015
On Barack Obama's Win in 2008 "I'm patriotic so I'm just happy the people's voice has been heard. I will support him until I have reason not to. It's a great thing for black people. Black people were kind to me growing up and taught me hip-hop and the blues, so it's good the U.S. has proved it's not as racist as it's sometimes portrayed." – Metro, November 2008
On Choosing to Endorse Mitt Romney in 2012 "[I wanted to make sure he's not] just a rich guy who wanted to become president to out-do [his] dad. I know what it's like to want to be better than your father. Of course, I'm getting these 'I really want to help America [answers]' and I said, 'Cut the shit, this is my living room; this isn't going to leave here.'" – Howard Stern, November 2012
On Supporting Donald Trump in 2016 "I'm digging Trump. I feel like a lot of people, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, feel like if you get Hillary or Bernie, or you get Rubio or Cruz or whoever, there's going to be the same shit. Has that much fucking changed when anyone's in office, whether it's been a Republican or a Democrat in office, in our lifetime, anyway? I haven't really seen this big, like, fucking change. Obviously some people fucked up. [Laughs] That's a long debate. My feeling: let the motherfucking business guy run it like a fucking business. And his campaign has been entertaining as shit.” – Rolling Stone, February 2016
On His View of Politics in General "If people vote the other way, then I'll support our president, whoever's elected. More importantly, somebody's just gotta smack the fuck out of Congress and get them to start working together, and put this bullshit aside and get this country back on track." – Billboard, November 2012
Would you vote for this man?

Political correctness has gone on long enough, and it's time it stops.
As far as Kid Rock.....this guy is all over the map, neither here nor there, neither warm or cold. The perfect trait for a politician leaving a wide berth to run through WHENEVER necessary which incidentally is always. So in effect and for all intents and purposes, another who will swim oblivious and contentedly in the warm political gene pool of incompetency.
The Rock
As for our current State governmental body (Michigan), I feel they all should be replaced (for my own reasons), and will do my part in seeing that it happens. I suggest everyone take a hard look at THEIR State, and do what they can to inact positive change that will benefit the USA as a whole.
Complaining about someone where you have zero chance of effecting the outcome (voting for or against) is a kin to wanting to change the leader of Zimbabwe. It does nothing but waste people's time, and energy, when it could have been better used to effect the betterment of THEIR State, had they chose to get involved in their own politics.
I quit writing and emailing Stabenaw as she has not once ever answered one of my communications with other than a form stating she "appreciated my views gobbledygook probably dealt with by a staffer. The only way to get access to her is by donating money...a small time Hillary like pay-to-play scam.

Breaking News: Stabenaw claims unnamed sources link Kid Rock to Russia. Keep an eye on this story as the annonymouse sources promise to reveal the ultimate map to "No There There".

"Government of the people, by the people and for the people, not the other way around!"
Given that Stabenow is nothing more than a Chuckie Schumer sock puppet, that's a good thing!
