What connects you to Kid Rock?

To start off with, my internet went down. When I got home, bought myself a bottle of booze and wanted to sit here chat and so forth. Anyways, since I couldn't get online, which is actually the first for more then an hour in several years, usually it's like a few minutes. I decided to read every single song lyrics of Kid Rock, from way back of his day to the present. Which I might say, some of his old old songs actually predicted what he thought of his future. I realized how and why I relate to him and what attracted me to him.

But what I'm asking is, why or how do you think you are connected to Kid Rock? And yeah in some strange ways it's Spiritually.

And truth is, I was so bored I kinda went Kid Rock crazy, now I know what happens when my internet goes down lol. Plus the good buzz going on. Damn I need a life. And to add the day I had today.

Ok get on with it, what connected or attracted you to Kid Rock?

I often find it hard to express what it is exactly because it's all of it. What I love about Kid Rock is those moments he's given me of pure happiness, freindships that will last a lifetime and a sound track for my live. I heart Bob.; ▶ Reply to This

I have been going through a major rough tough time the past few years. I've never really gotten too specific/personal here (and don't know why I feel compelled to do so now, I guess this question just struck me somehow), but here it goes:
My husband and I have been trying to have kids for 7 years. There is nothing wrong with either of us, it is totally unexplained. 3 rounds of IVF and 1 m/c later, still nothing. We also started an int'l adoption 4 years ago, and after being told it would take about 8 months, we have at least 4-5 years still to wait. We have spent a lifetime of savings and then some, more than I can stomach thinking about. To put it mildly, emotionally, I got to a very, very bad place.
I heard about the tour earlier this year, but we haven't had any money to spend on anything fun in years, everything had to go to the doctors or the adoption, so it wasn't even a possibility. By some miracle, 3 days before the show, I won front row tix. It was the first time I had been excited for anything in a few years, actually. I was so totally blown away by the performance - the talent, the energy, his charisma - everything. Hoping you all don’t think I’m crazy for saying this – in a way, quite honestly, it saved my life. That may sound corny, but, whatever, it’s true. It snapped me back into living, and I will always be grateful for that. That is my connection.

People don't know about the things I say and do
They don't understand about the shit that I've been through
It's been so long since I've been home
I've been gone, I've been gone for way too long
Maybe I forgot all things I miss
Oh somehow I know there's more to life than this
I said it too many times
And I still stand firm
You get what you put in
And people get what they deserve
Still I ain't seen mine
No I ain't seen mine
I've been giving just ain't been gettin
I've been walking that there line
So I think I'll keep a walking
With my head held high
I'll keep moving on and only God knows why

I define “home” in this song as the person I was before, the me that I forgot, the me that I love…the me that he helped me find again.; ▶ Reply to This

It's way more than wanting a kid fix, but it's hard to understand unless you've been there, and I don't expect anyone to know. The only way to know what it feels like is to live through it. I do not have any expectation that this adoption will work out, but we are already too far into it to back out, so we will see what happens.; ▶ Reply to This
