    Kid Rock Keeps Things (Mostly) PG At The CMT Music Awards

    Kid Rock had promised to be well behaved as host of Wednesday night's CMT Music Awards. And he was mostly.

    Kid Rock had to be bleeped while performing his opening song, and was seen doing shots in the bar backstage during the telecast. But in his opening remarks, he actually warned everyone else about their behavior.

    "Just to be forewarned, if there's any Kanye West-isms going on ... anyone thinking of grabbing the mic, myself or the Bo-Stevens will personally punch you in the mouth, all right?" he said. "Maybe I'll get Trace Adkins on you, too, then you'll really be kind of messed up."

    Among his other notable lines from the evening:

    "I think they upped the 7-second delay to 10 seconds." (speaking on the red carpet)

    "I know there's no smoking! I got the memo. Calm down." (to an audience member, while smoking a cigar onstage)

    "Sit down Paula Deen, we'll get you a drink in a minute!"

    "Lady Antebellum is like the hillbilly Fleetwood Mac. I suspect they don't do drugs and they're sleeping with each other."

    "I felt good at the beginning. Now I feel real good, you know what I mean?" (toward the end of the show)

    Will you just have my baby, and let's just get it over?" (to Sheryl Crow, who replied, "If it's a girl, maybe")

    "I'd like to leave on this note right here: As a music lover, if it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it."

I am living in europe so i did'nt see you. I just saw your episode of storyteller at MTV this week. Never seen you perform live, but you are a great perfomer!! I regret it even more now that i could'nt go to your concerts in Tilburg and Amsterdam. You coming to my little country any time soon?

Rock...you were awesome at the CMT's. You really brought some character and WOW factor to the show. After watching last years awards, I probably wouldn't even have watched if you had not been the host this year. I also have a feeling that you just might have had a say in the set up and production of the awards as well. Whoever hosts next year is going to have a tough act to follow. Look forward to picking up your new album soon and I hope to see some tour dates for next summmer - I can't make it to Boston this year.

Id like to leave on this note right here: As a music lover, if it looks good, youll see it. If it sounds good, youll hear it. If its marketed right, youll buy it. But if its real, youll feel it. ~~~DO U FEEL ME~~~
