(CNSNews.com) - Rock artist Kid Rock will not perform at the youth concert for the presidential inauguration, and conservatives are applauding the news because of outrage at the content of his lyrics.

"We have been informed that Kid Rock will not perform," said Donald E. Wildmon, chairman of the American Family Association.

According to Wildmon, over 100,000 people called and e-mailed the Presidential Inauguration Committee to voice their concerns over news that Kid Rock was invited to perform.

Wildmon said Kid Rock's lyrics focus on recreational sex and send a message of female sexual exploitation, both of which contradict the values of voters who support the president.

The rock artist also appeared in a porn film in 2000, the AFA noted.

Porn actor?

Did the same person that vetted Bernard Kerik also vet Kid Rock?

Sheesh.

Maybe we had some influence over this decision, maybe not, but it would be nice to think that we did.

[lindor]

More importantly, who was the idiot or idiots who invited him in the first place.

This guy has LESS talent than Bubba Klintoon has morals!

[gov_bean_ counter]

Around out house he is known as "Kid Rot".

"This guy has LESS talent than Bubba Klintoon has morals!"

Actually you are wrong. I heard him play guitar in a smaller setting and he is very good. Given, his choice of lyrics is based on a hiphop/rock theme, which is definitely not for a mature adults listening pleasure.

Kid has performed for the troops and they love him. He also supports the Republican platform. He really is a nice kid.

He really is a nice kid.

If he was such a nice kid, he would still have the job.

"Kid" campaigned hard to get President Bush reelected....going against most in his industry.....and this is how he is repaid.....shameful.

We are on a slide to lose the next election if we keep eating our own. Forty years of being the minority party didn't teach us a thing.

I see the prudes in our party won again.

The Bush Twins

[Dog]

Yep....I think we are our own worse enemies.

[Trust but Verify]

Yeah, because Kid Rock performing at the youth concert was going to.....what? People here need to get a life.

[cbkaty]

I hear KID ROCK is a conservative....

I must admit that I can't stomach much of today's errrrr...ahhh...music?

Anyway, this cancellation just brings to tears.. (NOT!)

uncleshag...Keep the good stuff coming!

I'm sorry, but just because you are a republican doesn't automatically mean you are fit to go on stage for the entire nation and represent the President. Think Super Bowl halftime show. Just cuz you sell 10M CD's doesn't mean that you are publicly palatable.

Ol Kid needs a haircut and something to wear other than a tank top T. If there were a white trash contest, he should M.C.

[Trust but Verify]

Ack! Let's invite Lawrence Welk to do the youth concert! Yeah, baby.

[Trust but Verify]

What does the way he looks or dresses have to do with anything? How old are you, anyway?

[Dog]

Just cuz you sell 10M CD's doesn't mean that you are publicly palatable.

Great.......you just told 10 MILLION people who buy Kids stuff.....to go to hell.

Great way to reach out and expand the party.

Sheesh!

[randita]

Great.......you just told 10 MILLION people who buy Kids stuff.....to go to hell.

No, kids were just told that lots of concerned citizens think their Kid Rock puts out trash and that kids deserve better than that. I think that's the opposite of telling them to go to h***.
