    AL.COM: Alabama bound: Kid Rock...

    Kid Rock is from Detroit, but he sure does like Alabama. To be more specific, Rock, 40, has a strong affinity for music and musicians linked to our state. That’s not too surprising, considering that his own catalog has evolved from rowdy rap to a blend of country and Southern rock. Also, bear in mind that Rock’s first album was called "Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast." (How Southern is that?) As fans await Robert James Ritchie’s appearance on Saturday in Birmingham, they might want to ponder five of his ties to Alabama.

Hello home state. Kid Rock is getting some true culture if he is touring 'Bama! When I finally meet him, I will let him know what Alabama girls are all about. Of course, I have to retire from the Navy first. Hope my hips are still working then. :-)

My niece and I went to the concert last night at the BJCC and it was the best concert I have ever seen. Kid Rock is such an awesome performer; I love the way he is who he is and doesn't care what anyone thinks. I also love the he way always support the troops and loves this country. I can't wait to see him again in concert. Btw he is HOT!!!

I saw Kid last night in Birmingham, it was my 4th time, but by far the BEST CONCERT of his or of anyone's else I've seen!! And I don't understand why Ty Stone isn't better known, he has got a voice that will absolutly blow you away. I would love to see him in concert again,(for the 3rd time)!! THANKS FOR THE KICK ASS SHOW GUYS, it was well worth the money, and then some.

Thnk you for a job well done in B`ham last night. Never been better. I sat behind a guy that said this was his first time to see you. After the show I ask how he liked it and he said it was everything and more than he exspected :) The stage set up was awsome. My 20 row center stage tuned into a 7 row center stage. Thnk you Thnk you Thnk you...PS. TO PEOPLE THAT CANT HOLD THEIR LIQURE,,PLEASE DONT DRINK AT THESE EVENTS ANYMORE. YOU TRY TO RUIN IT FOR EVERYONE AROUND YOU. ( good thing for you I wasnt drinkin last night) IM A DRINKER 2...LOVE YOU BOB

JUST GOT HOME FROM THE CONCERT IN BIRMINGHAM AND AS USUAL, KID KICKED ASS. HE'S NEW STAGE SET-UP WAS THE BOMB. THE LIGHTS AND FIRE GOING OFF AND THE SCREEN BEHIND HIM HAD SOME NEAT SHIT ON IT. SOME OF THE PIX FROM THE CRUISE WITH UNCLE KRACKER. I WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES TO BE ON THAT CRUISE. HE IS THE BEST ENTERTAINER OUT THERE TODAY AND HIS BAND HIS REALLY TIGHT. LOVE YOU KID.

Let's talk about Chicago bound. Next week. Cannot wait to see you again. Bringing twenty of your #l fans, one who has a birthday. I know you get asked a million times and I have asked twice already, so a million and 3 times. Can you give Kim Klein from Chicago a Happy Birthday Shout Out next week at the United Center. Will be a great party. See you next Saturday, Feb. 26.......
