CMT interview with Kid..."I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics," he noted. "Because at the end of the day, let me tell you what I 'm good at: I'm good at writing songs and singing. What I'm not educated in is the field of political science. And so for me to be sharing my views and influencing people of who I think they should be voting for ... I think would be very irresponsible on my part. So I'll just keep my mouth shut on that."He further suggests that political candidates might be better off to avoid close connections to those in the entertainment business."I think celebrity endorsements hurt politicians," he said. "Because as soon as somebody comes out for a politician, especially in Hollywood, when they all go, 'I'm voting for this guy!' -- I go, 'That's not who I'm voting for!' ... As soon as Oprah Winfrey pops up and goes 'Ha-la-la-la-la,' I'm like, 'I love Barrack Obama. I hate Oprah Winfrey.'" He adds, "I don't hate her. I just don't believe in her, so I don't want any part of any of that. I think celebrities hurt politicians."*
Kid on blogs..."There's a real problem with this Internet thing and everyone thinking they have a voice," he said. "This is where freedom can get out of hand. Everybody should not have a voice is what we've just proven by the Internet. Because I'm convinced that Jesus Christ could come back onto this earth and forgive everybody's sins, and it'd be the greatest day in mankind ever. Somebody would take a picture of him. They'd put him on a Web site like TMZ, and the first comment would be 'Jesus is a douche bag.' You know what I'm sayin'?
*****************
I know what you're sayin',Kid...YOU have a voice. Only entertainers should have a voice. And they should be afraid to say they hate Oprah. But, he DID prove the grounds for the first part of his statements. Maybe he's a genius in disguise? Yeah, I'll bet that's it. He's a genius disguised as an idiot and I just got it. Lucky me.

This guy also thought Pam Anderson was "the one". So anything he says I have to take with a bucket of salt.
he makes some good points re: politicians/celebs....i don't think he has talent writing & singing though!
he is right abut mixing entertainment with politics. It stinks! And knowing he should stay out of the mix is very brilliant of him! I think he has performed at "Farm Aid" before tho. With Johnny Mellencamp(what a hunny!)
I think I am in love with Kid Rock.
He hit the nail on the head.
Gotta go to Waffle House now.
He doesn't believe in Oprah? She's not Santa or the Easter Bunny. Those guys don't even have their own shows, just yearly specials. I wish I could not believe in Donald Trump.
yeah, right, and maybe I"M A GENIUS in disguise...
Kid Rock ...ROCKS I know lame. But really I like his comments. So tired of the Susan Sarandon hollywood types that think I should follow them. Screw them
