    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.

Kid you are truly Genuine. There are not many like you left out there in the business that is one of the reasons you are so loved by many. You are on my "Bucket LIst" ... to meet you. Seen you in Chicago for the first time and was BLOWN AWAY...I suppose you hear how great you are everyday by so many people. Fact is you TRULY are. You are the most "REAL" person. You hold the things in life that are most important dear to your heart and that is the way that it should be. No fakeness. Just straight up in your face truth. I work for a company that actually distributes Music. Anderson Merchandisers. I am actually a District Manager, and I remember when Born free was playing on the TV wall in Walmart's, I would be in the store working with one of my Reps and there you'd be on the TV's and they would laugh at me, cause I would always stop and watch, no matter how many times it came on *LOL* Anyway, guess I am rambling. Plain and simple, YOU ARE THE BEST Now as for you DAPAL110....to use this story to promote whatever the hell it is your promoting is TACKY....You should NOT even be allowed on this site....

Kid Rock, I can not express mine nor my families thanks for making my son's ultimate dream come true. He has been a fan of your's for a while in his short little life. He recorded a cd with Kids Rock Cancer and even put you in his song. I am so overwhelmed and grateful with the fact that you took time out from your busy schedule to grant Alex his wish. My son's cancer is very rare and aggressive, Desmoplastic, You just gave a face to this type of cancer. Kid Rock you helped my little man forget about having cancer for one awesome night!!!! You, SIR, are a very awesome man with a big heart!!!! Alex wanted me to let you know we made it back to Saint Louis safe. Again, thank you for taking the time to do this for my son Alex!!!!! Wendy and John Parents of Alex

It is truly a GIFT to be your #1 fan. You have a heart of gold which shows by you taking time out of your busy schedule to give the love. I was at your Greensboro show(on the FLR C ROW 8 w the light spinner and I am amazed at how you continue to give it all to the crowds and those who are important to you like Alex. Man you got the stamina that most people only dream about. What's the secret?

Little Alex's smile is matching your BIG heart--you've got that great "Dad spirit"--inspiring to see you're payin' it forward! God Bless you, Bob, for keeping up the good work. ~D.L.R.

Bob, A picture is worth a thousand words...and the look on his face says it all!! You have once again proved that you are an amazing man. You have a huge heart! I'm sure that this will stay with him and his family. A local radio station has a 36 hour marathon to raise money each year for Make a wish foundation. It is truly moving to hear the stories, and it gives us a chance to get to know who we are helping. God Bless, Mary Jo

You Rock! Our favorite Charity. We know how much it means to the kids and families. Hey you're are scheduled to perform in Cheyenne on Friday July 22, if you have time before or after the show would you be interested in going for a bike ride up into the mountains? .... If you can't bring your own we have a spare...one is an Ultra Classic and the other a Thunder Mountain Custom Chopper...Your choice...thinking you might enjoy a little "down time" and the Wyoming hospitality as we take you for a ride in the Colorado Rockies... ya i know someone wants to do something for you with no strings attached....weird huh... Sheila & Mike....
