    Got to spend some time in Kansas City today before the show with Make A Wish child “Alex”- We played “Born Free” and “All Summer Long” (at his request) in a private soundcheck today for him and his family, He is even the first person to wear my “EMSP l.e.d. hat!!” Had a blast spending time with him and I think he’s gonna have a great time tonite! Truly a young man god has his hands on. Rock On Alex, from your friend, Kid Rock.

You show so much humanity and tenderheartedness for others. Thanks for being that kind of role model for others because there are so many people out in our crazy world that have either not been taught or just don't have any compassion for others.People like you make me feel better about bringing my kids into this world that I fear for them at times. God bless and I can't wait to take my family to see you in Houston. The kids are looking forward to it. Speaking of rodeos...I went to our small town PRCA rodeo the other night with my family. The PRCA loves you. They played your Born Free video on the big screen before the rodeo started and then of course the bull riders/bareback riders often rode out to several of your upbeat songs. Even God Bless Saturday. It was fun!

You are an amazing man to help so many. Would you consider helping kids with Cystic Fibrosis on the Detroit River front on May 21st. We are so excited that we have some great news on a new drug that may be a potential cure for CF and will be going to FDA soon. Please let me know. Sandy, Clarkston, MI swilton@cff.org

Bobby have you ever thought of going to some of the rehab centers? I know when I was in rehab in 1989 from a car accident, we had a theropy dog that used to travel the rehab centers. I know it really helped me on my road to recovery. Just A Suggestion!

You can't buy this kind of coolness!!! God Bless little Alex!! Thank you Bobby for all of the kind things that you do for people. You are truly an angel and you totally will be blessed. I just wish that there were more people in this world with your heart, maybe there would be a lot less hatred. Thanks again. ROCK ON and be safe out there on the road.

What you to know we truly had a blast in Huntington, Parking the motor home was a giant bitch for four drunks, But quickly forgot about all that and the 500 mile drive to the show! Bought ticket from your web site and had the best tickets I have ever gotten to date for your show! (Thank You for putting true fans first!) I could have sold my " Fuck Cancer" shirt 20 times, Had the only one I seen. We want to see it all over again. The part where you thank everyone for spending there hard earned money with you and your band, I truly felt that and had a tear in my eye! Everyone done a super job expect one of your drivers, on the way out ya'll rolled past us and dude was missing some gears for sure. I felt that we got what we paid for! Very happy! The dream of meet you is still alive, maybe will run in to you at the wood shop or the lake house. Bobbie the thing with Alex, this is why we are fans of yours! A very wonderful heart felt thing you could do is "care". Also wanted you to know, we lost a friend, but also we bought him a ticket to your show in WV and we bran Jeff's favor hat to the show so he could be there too! Planing our next road trip to see you some where soon. And man riding that bus for as long as you do from town to town has got to suck! Thanks for the things you do and the things you do whit out to be out there on the road we us! And having Jamey sing with you was so cool cos I'd said something about that long before the tour dates came out. And Jessica all I can say is GOD DAMN I love that women!

Awww, that is awesome! So great of you to do this for this lil guy and he looks adorable in the hat. Keep Rockin Alex.God Bless you Alex and God Bless you too Kid for caring so much! @ detroitdevil, you should be ashamed of yourself! Seriously! I will commend you for serving our country but I have to say you sure have lost sight of the american way and how to treat your fellow man. What difference does it make who gives what as long as they give something! If you were a true Kid Rock fan you would realize what it meant to this little boy to be in the same room with Kid Rock and have him play songs and get to wear his hat.Kid Rock is one of the most giving humanitarians out there.There is no doubt in my mind that Kid Rock DOES DONATE plenty of his fortune to the hospitals who treat these kids and to alot of other causes as well but that is none of our business now is it! This world is full of all kinds of people, some can give more than others. I personally have respect for the THOUGHT of giving, it does'nt matter the amount or what it is as long as your heart is in it. Thats the American way! Im sorry your life sux so badly that you obviously cannot see that. Sometimes TIME SPENT is worth way more than any dollar amount anyway. Your the douche bag dude!
