    FINALLY! Just finally had the time to go thru all the wonderful gifts everyone on the cruise brought me. So much fun, cool, heartfelt stuff! I won't need to buy a t shirt or hat all year! Still in the studio working hard, enjoying my time off the road and getting my "constitution" together for a new record in the fall and a big tour in 2013! I think summer is finally here as well! Yeehaw!! Thanx again for all the gifts, too kind of everyone! - Kid Rock

One of these days I WILL be able to go on the cruise!! Years ago, I told hubby that I wanted a cruise for our 25th anniversary. Well, that's long since passed and still no cruise! Think that I'll just treat myself to a "Chillin the Most" cruise! :-) Can't wait for the new tour and some dates fairly close to the North Alabama area!!!

I don't know if you were given the gift the way I dropped it off on the boat but the Buddy's t-shirt came in a Buddy's pizza box (it's hard to tell in this photo). Anyway, the ladies at Buddy's (Dearborn) were just tickled pink to know the shirt was being given to you by me. They all told me to tell you, "Hi" from them. So, "Hi." lol. If it doesn't fit, they will gladly exchange it for you.

Thanks for posting the picture with your gifts. What were your favorites? I talked to a lot of people on the boat that gave gifts to you and they were all very personal and thoughtful. Those are the best gifts - from friends and family that see something, it reminds them of you and they buy it for you. I love doing that for people too. Sorry, I left my gift to you at home. I will bring it on CTMIV.

Oh, and CKR fucking ROCKS your socks off!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awe, yeah, man, thank you first! CTM3 was amazing, and we have you to thank for making us feel like family. The bonds made on that boat and leading up to the trip are just awe~inspriring! I am honored and humbled to be a part of such an amazing family, dysfunctional as we may be. The fact that you arrive home and go through each gift really makes us, your fans, feel appreciated and is a most wonderful testament to how you ** WEAR YOUR SOUL**. Your "constitution" is an amazing compilation of all your life's journies, and is right on track ;) just flow, it'll come! We can not wait to see what is coming! HEART ROCKS FOREVER, MAN! Best of All Things, kc

LOL on the tshirts and hats..you have my permission to 're-gift' the Sparty On shirt, but only to a true Spartan fan, or someone who knows how to S(Party)!!! (but if you find a way to make that vintage Stroh's tap work, let me know!! Too bad Stroh's isn't in the D anymore..) Rest up and enjoy the summer; thanks for all of the fun, laughter, and generosity. Rock on!!!!

Hope you enjoy your humidor, and other items. Am the one who always brings cigars! I have to say I had the time of my life! When you came in the casino to play craps, wish I understood how to play the game. You gave me a hi five, way cool! I must tell you this, everyone from your bodyguards to each member of your band is the most wonderful and real people. Marlon Young is the greatest! A dream came true by his help! I got to meet Jessica and have a photograph made with her. Aaron Julison is a blast way funny. Jason Krause got a big kick out of my 70's leisure suit, and got to hear a great story from Larry Frantangelo of his days as a substitute teacher. Stefanie Eulinberg she is so sweet! Ran into her on the beach, and at the airport after the cruise GREAT women. "Shakes" Super Man! I think he many have told you the story about our Autistic son signing " You never meet a Mother "F" like me at his Catholic school, as so hot to the nurses, GREAT parent teacher conference.Very Hard not to laugh through it. We had the time of our lives, thank you, thank you , thank you! AS LONG AS THERE IS A CTM we will be on the boat motherfucker!!! See you in Jersey soon! 6th show this year! Cant get enough. Uncle Kracker and his band and John Stone are a must GREAT Persons

Beautiful Red beach and hand towel embroidered with yellow thread was from me!! You deserve everything we could give you. You are one of the most gracious,appreciative,compassionate, giving, powerful man I have ever met in my life besides Howard Stern!! I just want you to know that I have nothing but deep admiration and respect for you. See you in Boston, Bobby!! Would you sing me a birthday song,,,,,,,It's my birthday and my favorite person in the world gave me tickets to go see his show, having him sing to me would probably make me wet-ter

Thank you for giving us the best vacation ever!! One that we will never forget - it was by far the highlight of my year! We were CTM virgins, and the cruise was everything we had expected it to be and more! We enjoyed every moment, and all of the bands on the ship were fantastic! I can't wait for the release of your new album, and to hear people's reactions to Redneck Paradise! Thank you for letting us be the first to hear it and see the video. It's going to be a big hit next summer. Looking forward to your 2013 tour. See you in August when you come to Bomanville for the Boots and Hearts festival (I don't know if I can wait that long). We are bringing some friends that have never seen you live before, and I'm sure they will become huge fans! Karen

Thank you, Bobby, for such wonderful memories! As a first timer on the cruise, I was blown away by the kindness of you and all the artists! It was, by far, the BEST vacation I have ever had! I will be back next year! You are a wonderful, kindhearted man:O)

Thank you, Mr. Ritchie, for taking your precious time and sharing personally with us. You are so generous, sweet, and kind. I am really, really, really happy you are taking the time to care for your ROCKin' Irish "constitution." Your self-care makes my heart sing :) Sounds like you were wonderfully taken care of with an abundance of beautiful tokens of all the love your fans have for you, for you are a good man through and through. I am glad to hear it and look forward to see you sporting them. Thanks for updating us on your fall release of your new album. It will be here before we know it. Yippee! It's already almost the end of May...I can't believe it. Crazy!?!?! From all the buttons, gadgets, and computer work I have seen in previous pictures and videos, you are VERY intelligent to be able to figure out all that stuff. Baffles and condounds me, but fascinating, too! (Geek Alert). And a big tour? Yeehaw! With all the forward momentum I've been feeling, I'm hoping I'll get to at least my first, if not multiple, concerts of yours...color me purple...and immensely excited!!! I am enjoying the spring and start of summer here, too. The lilacs are finally blooming and were one of my favorite things on my Florence walks with you. Yes, several times I did stop and smell the flowers. I hope you get to spend some turkey hunting or other some such fun with your father. I'm off to home now, but I'll 'see' you again tomorrow. Have a lovely rest of your Tuesday, Mr. Ritchie...you are loved. Smiles :)

What's up Kid Rock? Hell yes summer is finally here!!!! Glad to hear you got a new record coming out in the fall and a tour scheduled for 2013. Hope like hell that you make it to Nashville as you always do. I faxed Craig Kallman at Atlantic Records the lyrics and copyright to a song I wrote last year that would be great for your new record. Only you could do it to make it a success. I guarantee you that it will be a number 1 hit for years to come. It's one of those songs that will be timeless and people will be rocking & rolling and strutting & strolling to for many years to come. I promise you that this son of a bitch is a winner!!! As an added bonus I've got a song you need to redo from an artist back in the 1970s. I guarantee that if you re-do this song that it will blow the fucking roof off any arena in the country. I promise you that this one is $$$$$$$$ in the bank. Next time you are in Nashville look me up and lets do lunch to cuss and discuss it. Craig Kallman at Atlantic Records has my name and number.

So how did you like the Candy Girls Scrapbook? Would love to hear your input on that "BADASS" book the ECF put together. I really hope you got a chance to read it and know that we support you in all that you do! Have a great summer.
