    what does the tatoo mean?
    Diana says (30 Apr '11)

    I am the first to admit that I am fairly new to the Kid Rock Party....I knew who he was during Joe Dirt and the song "Picture" but only truly started loving him during Rock N Roll Jesus.  I have been a fan ever since. So, what does the "Paul" tattoo mean?

Yeah i looked it up on youtube. Looks like the first cruise was good but a little different. I think Bob was sober or semi sober compared to this years cruise. Sad what happened to his cousin though. I hear about stuff like that from time to time.

Romeo.....I kept looking on YouTube and found the video from the 2010 Chillin Cruise. Bob does mention that he was "very young" and that his cousin killed himself so he wanted to get a tattoo in his memory. Nice to know the story; even though it seems a sad one. It is the hard times and how we handle them that make us who we are; not the easy ones.

Thanks Romeo. I went to YouTube and saw Q&A from this years cruise. Bob was asked about his tattoos and he said "well, my cousin shot himself, but that isn't a good story"

Do some digging around on YouTube. There's a video out there of the first Kid Rock Chillen' The Most Cruise 2010, Q and A session.

During the Questions and Answers he talks about the tattoo.

Yes he was pretty young when he got this particular tat. I do believe he said during the Q and A it was his very first one. I think he said how old he was when he got it, but not really positive but I think... he did. Cant remember if he said at the time how old his cousin was or not.

If someone watches the vid that should give a bit more info.

I believe it's a tribute to his cousin who passed.
