I'm a member here......why do I NEVER receive pre sale email information?? My email is correct...??? Hmmm. Help, lookin for a presage code for Detroit show....
ok here's the deal. Kid is set to be honored by the NAACP on May 1st at Cobo in Detroit. Some douche bad named Adolph Mongo is planning a boycott because Kid flies the rebel flag at his concert. I say we show up and boycott his ignorant ass and show him our love for Kid. Honestly no matter who it is or what it is there will always be someone out there who is going to be pissed off and have shit to say when they honor someone. Kid does so much for his home town and the people who live in it no matter the race, religion, or back ground. Yet you have this jerk wanting to ruin the Great Expectations Award annual dinner. Why can't Mr. Mongo just be happy that there is someone with money and influence who is willing to help when and where he can. I say we show up and support Kid! Road trip!

Great, me too. I need someone who is local to Detroit that can get me the phone numbers I need. I want this to be legal so that we can not be made to leave. I want to get a large turn out and show this jerk Mongo that he has took on more than he can handle. Kid has in so many ways showed nothing but love for his city and the people that live there. When it is his turn to be honored some asshole steps up, who is nothing more than an attention whore, decideds to try and ruin Kid's day. Lets stand up and voice our opinions too. If anyone can help just look me up on facebook, Alisha Mullen, and I will do all I can. I am planning on contacting Sixthman, and ask them if they have a problem with me handing out flyers on the cruise next month to get the word out.
Im a GREEEAT sign maker lol!
Ok guys... This is on yahoo now. We need to show our support, get the word out, and let it be know that we can be there at Cobo also and show our love and support for Kid. Here is the article on yahoo...Mark Hicks, Detroit News staff writer
Some NAACP supporters plan to boycott the Detroit arm's annual fundraiser over an honor for Kid Rock they say doesn't mesh with the civil rights group's goals.
The rocker is set to receive the Detroit branch's Great Expectations Award at the annual dinner, which typically attracts about 10,000 people, on May 1 at Cobo Center.
But Adolph Mongo, a longtime political consultant and head of Detroiters for Progress, said he and others will sit out over Kid Rock's use of the controversial Confederate flag during performances.
"It's a slap in the face for anyone who fought for civil rights in this country," Mongo said Thursday. "It's a symbol of hatred and bigotry."
NAACP officials defended the honor.
"Kid Rock ... has consistently lifted up the Great Expectations of many persons concerning the future of the city," Donnell R. White, interim executive director of the Detroit Branch NAACP, said in a statement.
Kid Rock and his representatives couldn't be reached. But in a 2008 interview with the Guardian in Britain, he said the flag to him represents southern rock 'n' roll.
Ok great thank you. I know we can get a huge turn out if I can just get the word out and a little organization. I think that if I get the word out on the cruise it will help tremendously. I am not sure who I need to contact up in Detroit to make it a legal gathering. If anyone out there knows please let me know. Together I know we can shut up this idiot.
I am 1000 miles away but I will spread the word and help any way I can.
Well I am serious about being there and standing up, showing all the love and respect I can for the man who has done the same for his hometown and the people who live there. After all that is why he is being honored. So come on congregation members, join me May 1st to stand up and testify for our Rock n Roll Jesus!
Bob, If you happen to read this DO NOT DEFEND YOURSELF IN THIS MATTER IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER! You fortunately have a little thing firmly established in a foundation of cement on your side - THE TRUTH!
The Truth should never have to be defended or explained! It would be wasted on the likes of these Morons & Haters anyway. The Miscreant I saw on the news last night would not know Right from Wrong if his miserable life depended on it!
You didn't ask for this award or do the Great things you did hoping to receive anything - not like the Parasites, Hypocrites and Charlatans that accuse you! SHAME ON THEM!
No, what you do is sit back with a nice cigar and watch the Circus from a Drama Free spot far away from the S%#T that will without doubt hit the fan!
YOU OWE THEM NOTHING! HEAR ME!
THERE IS AN ARMY OF PEEPS WHO ARE VERY PROUD OF YOU BROTHER - NEVER FORGET!
Yours in Christ, Zeke

I think that's perfect Alisha, nice work!! Sorry, I'm not on FB. Nonetheless, you go get girl!! As we all here know, Kid Rock, Bobby Ritchie, is a great guy and, as Video Ace pointed out, he doesn't deserve this slap in the face!!!!!
Ok Shut It!! Let's see if this works. Seriously tho, hit me up an Facebook. We will show this jerk that you do not act like a douche bag without repercussions. It is a free country and we have the same rights to boycott as he does.
Crabby, hell he is just pure pissed off at the world. Talk about one foul human being!
Ok can we build on that? I want something that grabs attention, gets 'em mad, mad enough to read it (because you know there are alot to choose from) then makes them want to stand up and do something about it. Ya know what I am trying so say? And would you want to help organize? I am going on the cruise next month and can print out flyers and hand them out.
I dont want to be mean or sound stupid but why would anyone name a black Baby Adolph mongo. No wonder the dude is Crabby.
How bout Ahole Mongo . . . ; )
Any suggestions? How about "Adolph Mongo, we will show you a protest! Calling all Kid Rock fans!"
Alisha, I'm not upset with you. Many brownie points for sticking up for Kid!! Sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel bad, that definitely was not my intention. You've got my respect -- you go girl!!
PS: But, ; ) would you consider changing the title to:
LET'S RALLY TO SUPPRT KID!!
No, really, it's all good. Keep on trucking n rock on!!
Shut it!! My reason for using that asshole's name in the title was to get people's attention and get them to read it. Why don't you help me organize something to show this jerk that he has decided to persecute the wrong man. Instead of getting upset with me, let's work together against a common enemy. That is why we are all here, our love for Kid and all he does and stands for.
@ T -- I understand what you're saying; but, at the same time why don't people take the time to see if there's already a discussion started? I mean, why not just add your opinion to a topic instead of having multiply boards on the same topic?
And, you may not have seen it, but That Girl was boohooing about a post that called her out and she asked that it be removed "for the sake of her kids" which I'm willing to bet aren't gonna log on and start reading post on here and even know it's her. She thought it was hurtful and wanted to not have to see it (even tho, you make your own bed, etc.) But, she got that post removed. I wish Alisha would have used a different title. To me she's giving the Ahole the attention he's so obviously desperately looking for by "having "his name in lights" on Kid's own site, that's really where I was coming from.
Thank you Redwingt for standing up for me. The last thing I wanted to do is piss of other Kid Rock fans. I would love to organize a protest against Mongo. I live in WV about six hours away from Detroit but if someone out there that can help well hell just hit me up on Facebook. Driving six hours is a piece of cake for Kid. I once drove 10 hours to atlanta to meet him at the waffle house. Lol and after being up 36 hours straight I looked like hell in the pictures but it was so worth it.
Peace and love
Alisha
Considering there is pretty much only one way to get into Cobo at this time, I think your imagination is pretty close to what the reality would be like! lol
imagining the traffic jam with 6 000 kid rock fans jamming the street
OH man I wanna go!!!!
Shut it, as much as I appreciate your witty, intelligent posts, I have to say I think your off base on this one. Asking someone to delete a discussion On this board that is sticking up for the Artist is just wrong. In your opinion maybe this idiot Mongo has gotten too much attention, and I agree to a certain extent, but asking someone to delete there discussion is going to far. State your opinion, but don't try and censor someone that is staying on topic with what is in the news here all over town. That is my opinion, given without any hatred or angst or ill toward anyone. Just stating what I think is fair in this ugly situation.
Allisha is doing nothing more than wanting to stand up for the man that brings us all together here. We all have the same interest obviously, Kid Rock. That's why we are here.
I think it's a great idea to protest right along with this idiot against his belief of what Kid Rock using the Confederate flag stands for. Were in the USA and that's how things are done, protests of both sides are our American right. If there is to be a protest against Adolph Mongo and his group, I will def be there to stand up against the lies and opinions he is spouting off!
If the man did his research he would find it isn't a racist issue with KR at all....more of a Rebel attitude. BTW, this news has now gone National & I believe maybe an organized protest against him representing the other side is very suitable. Now if someone would organize it and keep us up to date here, I'm sure you would find a whole bunch of Michigan people to stand up and be there to back our Rock Star and humanitarian.
I live 15 mins away from Detroit and I'm happy Kid is getting the award. God Bless him
I have to up most confidance our KR will b well repersentaed
Alisha, check out VideoAces discussion that he started last night: Anyone see this Bullshit?!! Please, please remove this post stat! We don't need to see Ahole Bongo's name up in lights!! He's already gotten too much attention!!! Thanks!!
