Robert James Richie...I have to ask, why can't us fans find anything other than an audio, or crappy, recorded off tv, video of your tribute to George? You and Patty and Vince made me weep. I had to work and didn't get to see the service. Would love to watch it and not just listen.

“Porn Parade”
She was only sixteen
Looking for the California dream
Untouched so beautiful
Skin just like cream
Went to rehearsal
To shoot her first scene
Wound up in the back room
Down on her knees
Used to be kind of fun
But now she’s all used up inside
Made some money, bought some drugs
Lot’s of forgotten drunken nights
Tells her boyfriend lies
Can’t look him in the eyes
When she looks in the mirror
What she sees she despises
Sadie had it made
No, she never should have strayed
Innocence lost, look at how much it cost
Porn Parade, Porn Parade
As the camera starts to roll
This child Sadie
Do all my fellow Wingnuts have their Octopi ready to throw tonight? Sure am hoping for the best, but don't think it's gonna happen. GO WINGS!!!!
Welp, new to me.
Just spent a few minutes rolling through all the pics. Must say this is a sweet new feature, and the pics are big enough to actually recognize a person, lol.

Bob,
I am writing this letter in hopes that it will reach Kid Rock. I am a big fan of him, as a person as well as his music and never miss a chance to see him in concert. One song in particular has had a great effect on my family and I. Last July, we lost a very important member of our family to lung cancer. His name was Mike Hickey, and he was my Uncle and favorite person in the world. He could put a smile on anyone’s face no matter what and he always did. He was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in September of 2010 and that was when the battle started. He fought the cancer for 10 long months, and beat it. I was so proud of him for being so strong and brave. Unfortunately, the cure was also what killed him. All of the treatments he had to go through took a toll on his body, but not his heart. We lost an amazing Uncle, Brother, Son, & friend when he passed away on July 5, 2011. A day does not go by when I don’t think about him.
Born Free became his theme song. It described him better than anyone could put into words. The lyrics are on his memorial card and the song was played from my brother’s Harley as he followed the car taking my Uncle to his final resting place. (My Uncle loved his motorcycles, Harley Davidson in particular) This song has had a great impact on my life and my heart and every time I hear it, I know my Uncle is smiling down at me from heaven. It always bothered me that I see pink ribbons everywhere but where are the white ones? Lung cancer takes more lives than colon, prostate, and breast cancer combined. One in 14 people will be diagnosed with lung cancer, whether they are smokers or not. Lung cancer is the main cancer that is killing people and yet it only receives about 27 percent of the proceeds for research. Recently, I discovered a walk that raises money for lung cancer research. It is called the LUNGevity Foundation and the walk is called Breathe Deep. It made me so happy that I could participate in this event to help raise money for lung cancer research.
I am going to join another walk they are having on May 12, in Birmingham. The last one I did was April 1, in Ann Arbor and I requested that the DJ play Born Free to honor my Uncle and he did. I realize that it is very short notice, but nothing would mean more to me then if it would be possible to have Kid Rock actually sing this song in person at the walk. I want to raise as much money as I possibly can to find a cure for lung cancer. I understand this is not a small favor by any means and would appreciate any kind of feedback or participation from him for this event. I cannot put into words what a blessing it would be to have him there, supporting the cause and singing the song that means so much to me and my family and describes my Uncle’s life and personality. I look forward to hearing back from you regarding this event and thank you so much for your time!

Diana & RJL1969, Your stories
Diana & RJL1969, Your stories are such an inspiration! Just knowing that this song has touched other peoples' lives means so much to me. I just hope one day I'm able to let Bob know himself what an impact this song has had & maybe get him to participate in this walk for lung cancer reseach.
Diana, I remember when you
Diana, I remember when you were going thru all of that. I am so glad things turned out well for you, and that you went to the concert (like we told you to, ;) . You are one strong woman.
Cancer does suck, bigtime. My Dad was diagnosed in Oct. 2001, and dead in Dec. 2001.
Love conquers death, please remember that, all.
Stacie.....cancer truly does
Stacie.....cancer truly does SUCK. Last Summer I was diagnosed with breast cancer. No symptoms, no reason to think that I had it. Just had a routine mammogram and BAM, my life changed! Went to my first Kid Rock concert at Comerica Park on August 12th and had breast cancer surgery on Monday, Aug. 15th. I had the best time of my life at that concert! It was my son's first concert experience ever! One song that truly got me through this ordeal was Born Free. I have no idea if Bob knows how many lives he has touched with that song. It was the song I listened to every day and right before I went under for surgery (the nurses let me have my CD player in the surgery prep area!). When surgery and weeks of radiation were all said and done, I presented the oncology department at Hickman with some Bad Ass Beer (told them that anyone who fights cancer has some Bad Ass in their blood) and the Born Free CD (they REALLY needed some better music to play for those laying there going through radiation.) Much love and prayers to your family. Treasure those memories of your uncle.
Stacie, so sorry to hear
Stacie, so sorry to hear about the loss of your uncle. Mom died of cancer in 2003. It's great that you are sponsoring this event in his memory.
Thanks for the great story
Thanks for the great story Staciechork. Seems as if all the family was strong. So many people focus on the idea of dying that they forget to live. Focusing on living, enjoying family, laughing, loving, and learning would make this a better world . Unfortunately we don't all think that way until something tragic happens. I my self have always been that way and became even more so when I was diagnosed with a congenital abnormality which won me the US record for the most ercps when stents to the pancreas. I quit counting at fifty and they've probably written a research book about me. 11/2 years ago I ended up in icu and my body said no more stents. I had a total pancreatectomy- yes the whole thing and you can live without one , obviously.I know I'm slowly dying and may have a good 10-15 years if I'm lucky but I still work full time and carry my head high with a smile on my face. Life handed me lemons and I just happen to like lemonade .good look with the charity and I hope all goes well. Baylor Dallas is developing a vaccine for lung ca and do lung transplants. For me I don't particularly choose to go that route. Anyway I guess the morale to this story is I once was sad because I had no shoes until I saw a man with no feet. We have our feet, voices, choices, and charities and they are what we make them to be. Good luck, hope all goes well, and may God bless those whom bless others. Rjl969
