Kid Rock Whats not to love

Permalink Reply by KidRockAngel on October 19, 2009 at 9:50am: I feel the exact opposite, lol I think he made it his own. I cant listen to it very often because I can imagine how scared he must have been sometimes. And maybe i put my own feelings in there raising my kids alone without someone to share. But I think its how he truly felt; ▶ Reply to This

Carol was JR's mom more or less when Kid was on the road, which has been most of his years having custody of JR.

He was very blessed to have a family, especially his sister Carol willing to help share the responsibilities of parenting JR. Many single parents don't have that kind family emotional support.; ▶ Reply to This

I can't really pin point what it is about the song, but for some reason it doesn't appeal to me like 99% of Kid's songs do.; ▶ Reply to This

Things had turned out different......

I relate to the song; ▶ Reply to This

My ex was more interested in which bar he was gonna go to.... I remember alot of he couldn't wake up in the morning and do or go with us to where ever we planned on going... To have the help of family is a wonderful thing.. I have no one around me and I must say even my fiance pisses me off when it comes to going places with the kids... So I just do what I have to do and I'm there and that's what matters most... It is sad for my kids but when they are older and look back I have been the only constant in their life.. so I relate to single father and It hits home; ▶ Reply to This

But at least you have your kids... many of us don't have kids or any family to rely on. I'm lucky I have a solid SO, but I sometimes wish I had a bigger circle of people to rely on!

It does sound like Bob was lucky to have family to help out, but gotta love him for taking care of business regardless.

Connie Jo--I think I know what you mean... its not the point of the song that is the problem, but it just doesn't quite have the same "umph" or energy as other KR songs.; ▶ Reply to This
