    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.

Thinks that Kid Rock is one of the most talented artists in the world! Not only is he sexy and can sing, he is kind, caring, loving, and very unselfish. He has not let his success dictate who he is nor has he let it interfere with his values! I think that what he did for Alex is awesome and just shows how genuine this man is!

Awesome Kid. Ya know when your music touches anyone and everyone, your one of the greats. What seperates you from most in the music business is being as grounded as you appear. That has a duel positive. Keep on Rockin Man!. Truly Another Fan for life Doug

It appears you have such a big heart. That is so nice to see. I bet you give so much more than any of us will ever see. You really are a class act. Also, thank you for being a huge supporter for America! I have enjoyed your music and your persona because of your confidence to be who you are and of course your talent. I try not to pay attention to what celebrities political views are but ran across yours and it all makes sense to me now..of why I enjoy you so much. You are America's Bad Ass.. Ha!

What a great story to share. Just another reason to love Kid Rock. Not many people give their time to make a young face smile. I'm sure he'll never forget it and neither will your fans.

I am so inspired by what you do & how much you give back. I do believe in you to be so genuine & authentic & I just wanted to state this is rare in a celebrity of your stature. Celebrities who say they are giving in the name of God,for the attention, & to mislead their fans should be "outed". Just want to thank you for all you do & for giving back. I also just watched the Bon Jovi documentary "When we were beautiful" & Wow...what an inspiration..I myself have been battling my demons over the past week or two & I have truly seen physical proof that blessings do come in disguises & God works in mysterious ways. I hope that you tour with Bon Jovi again. I am going to try my damnedest to be there. Have not been to a concert in over10 years & I am going to take my 28 yr. old son if you guys tour agiain. Rock til you drop & give til it hurts. Live to Love & Love to Laugh...BB
