Kid Rock wears many hats, and not just of the fedora and cowboy varieties he displays in public and during his concerts.

Kid has songs describing himself as a cowboy, lowlife, American bad guy and cocky. The last one may be deserved since he's a world-famous musician who was once married to blonde beauty Pamela Anderson.
