Matt: Kid Rock Rocks And Rolls
October 16th, 2007
I have never really been into Kid Rock. Never really disliked him either; I just kinda didn’t care. He is one of those artists that always floated past my radar; if I had to pick a side I probably would have said he just kinda annoyed me.
May I just say that his new album Rock N Roll Jesus is really, really good. It’s a shame really, he has such a persona as this cocky egomaniac, and of course his public marriage and most recent brouhaha with Tommy Lee have always overshadowed the fact that Kid Rock is a really talented musician.
Even if you are not into his style, you can’t deny that the guy was an accomplished DJ and rapper in Detroit for 10 years before he had a hit; he has filled in for James Hetfield and sang with Metallica, performed with Phish, Hank Williams Jr, Willie Nelson and so on.
Among musicians he is very well respected and he has earned every bit of success he has seen in music, a real life story of a guy who worked his ass off, stuck to his vision and made it happen. So, I said his album is really good and I stand by it. As a rock and roll album. A FULL album that mixes southern rock, outlaw country and even the hippity hop, it’s worth a listen. I have never listened to a full Kid Rock album, have never owned one…but trust me, they don’t make rock and roll records like this anymore.
Check out my interview with Kid Rock on The Loop Weekend this Saturday @ 11am ET and Sunday 11pm ET on MuchMoreMusic.

Well, I just learned what synapses are(I hope I’m spelling them right), the electrical charges that fire in the brain when you learn something (AT LEAST THAT’S MY UNDERSTANDING). It’s my cool new word so I thought it appropo to include it in the title. Kinda cool knowing what they are now, since the lyrics in Phish’s “Chalkdust Tortune” “and my synapses burned” make more sense within the context of that delightful melody. Seriously, some of Trey’s lyrics are so creative that they can simply be described as delightful….one of my favorite lyrics from the tune “Lizards” is “practically extinct from doing things that smart people don’t do”. Seriously now, if that kind of musical nuggets does not make your synapses burn and shoot off a little serotonin in the old dome, I gotta say “whachoo talking bout Willis”? Speaking of domes, it seems like having large heads is a genetic trait in my family…seriously….if you look at my brothers and I next to another dude, our heads are freakin’ huge. It’s kinda weird once you realize it. Maybe we have bigger heads because we are smarter…..or perhaps there’s just more room to store bullshit(as some might attest this blog is evidence off).
Anywhoo…..I feel like I’m making a nice recovery here from yesterday’s poor quality post. I’m back to a flowing “stream of consciousness” which I hope becomes wildly successful in the blogosphere and perhaps even helps out a tad with my personal fiscal and monetary policies. Saw the “Yada Yada” rerun of Seinfeld yesterday. Seinfeld is like a fine wine…..(or me perhaps), it only gets better with time. I didn’t care for the show when it was popular in the 90’s, but now I will attest that Kramer is one of the best damn things to have ever happened to network TV….and Elaine is an eternal hottie! Well, that seems like it was a fun post, and I hope it overloads your synapses!
