Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times
Doin things that you don't understand
But if you love him
You'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him
Oh, be proud of him
Cause after all he's just a man
Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
when nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Yeah JB, my fellow rule breaker, my KR encounters were short, but very sweet!! Officially, I can die now! Lol
LK, If I had the opportunity I would love to give him a hug and peck on the cheek along with a big ole thank you. But, I'm a hugger. I like people to know I'm sincerely happy to see them. Not a groper. Nothing weird or gross and certainly no licking (what is up with licking people lol).
Well, the first time I gave him a peck on the cheek, it was followed by a hug (as shown in my photos ; ) then after that private show where he played acoustically for nearly two hours, we got to take a photo and get an autograph. After he signed my jeans I proceeded to stand there, not able to say anything -- ugh! I guess I could have asked him how his wedding plans were going, lol. I loved his parting gesture to me -- he put his cheek out so I could give him another kiss. Ah, memories!! And, his smile after the last lip action told me he wasn't too offended by my "rudeness".
And, you know he told me he loves me. Sorry Shirlee, you read that right. ; )~ Granted it was in the form of sign language and a nice gesture after I signed that to him and blew him a kiss. He was only a few feet from me; we were enjoying the music of one of the bands in the casino lounge the last night of the first cruise. Talk about the missed opportunity (of all time) because I think he even motioned for me to come over there!! When dancing I tend to close my eyes (and being about 2:00 am and the last of four days of partying contributed to that long blink ; ) I wasn't sure that's actually what I saw, and there was a line of people waiting to get there chance to speak with him. But, by the time I got done processing the information to the brain -- poof! -- he was gone. Boo!!
There are "celebrities" and there is down-to-earth Kid Rock. I wouldn't be such a huge fan if he was any other way. I'm sure he'd (or anyone) would have something to say about a face lick; No doubt it was just all in fun. Lighten up people!!
He probably gets up after the pics, and goes to take a shower (LOL!)
Or I guess he could rub Jim Beam all over himself to kill the germs (Oh, can I watch that?)
No worries, I won't be groping, touching, or squeezing (but talking about it sure can be fun!)
Really? People are talking about licking his face, Jade?...wow, I would be beyond grossed out if someone I didn't know came up & licked my face..oh man, I hope those people weren't serious. I think if this does occur they'd put a stop to the picture taking!
Did someone really say that? Gross!!! Keep your DNA to yourself.
I agree with Jade.
Give the man the respect he deserves and don't be rude.
Think about it this way ladies - What if you were trying to be nice to a guy that you didn't know and to return the favor he licks your face - because he thinks you are cute - you would be completely creeped out!
Trust me - you will already feel like a VIP when you get on the boat and know that you are part of an exclusive trip. No need to molest the talent...
this may be one of those rare times I may actually be agreeing with Shirlee... I'm not totally sure because I don't quite understand what she wrote. but anyway, here is the thing:
touching people, anyone, without their express permission is incredibly rude. I get strangers grabbing my hair a lot and its exceptionally rude and offensive. just because KR is famous doesn't mean that fans have the right to walk up to him and cop a feel. Unless he invites you too. just like the rest of us. Unfortunately he IS famous so he can't slap someone hands away or punch someone like I do when people try and touch me... if he does then he gets a bunch of pissy fans who come here and talk shit about how mean he is or whatever.
when he took the pics with us he put his arms around us, so we did the same. but that's it. I know there were people he recognized as long time fans that he hugged and stuff. but honestly, be polite, hand him or his handlers a gift, thank him and be on your way. the best way to show appreciation is to be a good fan, buy his CDs, go to his shows and tell your friends to do the same.
anytime the fan community starts getting into discussions about wanting to touch him or lick his face when they see him (yes, a group of women recently were posting online about how when they get their pic taken on the boat with him they were going to try to lick his face. ugh. disgusting and rude) I get creeped out.
besides, women should be asking him (politely) to do the licking. at least women get something out of being licked.
(I should have put a little happy face down on that last sentence about licking~I'm joking... don't actually ask him to lick you. he's got a girlfriend. ladies, find your own lickers, k?)
A couple of things here, Kid Rocks perfect, he has the best body in the world and I want it...I cant stand it when someone puts thire hands on me (get the fuck out of my bubble) without asking...The tips of KR's fingers are like silk...One of my gift will be in a brown paper sack and Im not sure what it is.
LK, you are my hero!!!
Well I kind of like LK's approach ;)
I'm excited about these gifts (I guess it doesn't take much to entertain me)..altho he'll probably open it up and say "who gave me this sh*t?" he heee
As I may have mentioned before ; }~ when I just so happen to have caressed his out stretched muscular arm, and then down his back (Latissimus Dorsi Muscle ; )) while he was making is way out of the pool, his skin . . . was like butter . . . read it and weep ladies, read it and weep!
I know he's said that he gets this response, "You're much better looking in person." -- "Um, thanks, I think." So, for some, if you think he's cute enough already -- you ain't seen nothing yet. LOL
I think he gets a lot of his gifts while getting the photo taken. I don't think it bothers him; and, it is to be expected I would think. It's a lot of fun to get to (look him in the baby blues, that just alone LOL) and tell him "Thank You" -- gift or no gift. I gave him a wallet-sized laminated Joe C memorial I designed -- and, then "laid one on him" ; )) again. YES!! What a way to start THE party!!
Bart, we totally had the same response... my husband and I are both not particularly huge people but we still thought he was slender. I could hear my grandmother's voice in my head saying "get this poor starving man something to eat!" lol
a gift table is a nice idea. but you know the groupies would insist on having to talk to him and then get all pissy when he can't have an in depth conversation with everyone. then they'll wait 20 years and post rude messages here about how they're owed a house. or some shit. *sigh*
slip it to him JB? LOL
I envision a table like at a wedding with the big decorated box for envelopes. Too funny. Val, I would try to slip it to him, personally, but I'm a rule breaker. lol
A gift table would be Awsome.
I like your idea of a gift table, Val.
Thanks, gang. I will give it to one of the handlers :)
I agree with Jade.
I didn't bring anything for him last year, so I wasn't really paying attention, but I know many people gave him small gifts. He also posted that pic of him after the cruise looking at the things that people brought to him.
When you go up to get your picture taken, they tell you - no autographs, questions, use of your own personal camera, etc....Basically, you see him meeting the person in front of you in line, step up, (I shook his hand, thanked him for setting up the cruise again and told him we were from GR) smiled, and walked away. 8 seconds with the KID....and it still took him 4 hours to do that with everyone!
My only thought walking away was how cool it was for him to do that with everyone and damn - that dude is skinny!
Then we went to the bar....and waited for the sail-away show....
last year they did tell you not to bring in anything when you had your pic taken with him but his handlers are there and I know a few people who had very small things that they either gave to him directly or to his handlers. it probably would be your best bet. the rest of the cruise he was swamped wth people every time he showed his face, sadly, so I would hate to make that even worse.
This will be my first cruise, but I know everyone got their picture taken with him when they got on the boat for the last cruise. Maybe you could give him your gifts when you get your picture taken?
