'What does the way he looks or dresses have to do with anything? How old are you, anyway?'
I think what he looks like and how he dresses has a lot to do with it. Like it or not, people make assessments about your character based on the way you dress. If you choose to dress like a rebel, you probably are. From what I have been hearing about this guy, it seems like an accurate appraisal.
If Kid Rock is kind enough and concerned enough to visit our troops and entertain them in Iraq and afghanistan then he's good enough to entertain at the Bush Twins party. Rock and roll is a true American art form and Kid Rock carries on that tradition. That "Big Tent" of the GOP seems to have gotten smaller since the election.
And what is wrong with being a rebel, if he is one? I know of some people who would have been considered rebels at the founding of this country.
