well, the only way I can see this is that he does have a great deal of talant. Kid Rock has stage presence. As for his music, well, it sounds really catchy, but exceptionally weak (in my mind anyway).

To me, it's really a matter of honesty. Him, n'synch, bsb, britney, milli vanilli, whoever, they aren't or weren't putting out honest music. It has no soul, and therefore I have no use for it. But I take comfort when I realize that in a year or two, his 'fans' will be saying "Kid Rock? That's OLD..."

What starts out as total fluff will always blow away if you wait long enough.
