    Just wanted to get a quick note to you... I buried my Big Brother Monday 6/20/11. He passed away 6/14/11 very quickly due to complications with cancer...Just wanted to thank you for your cd, as we played it at his service, He was a col in the US Army, stationed in Afghanistan. He loved your cd's. He asked me to loan him mine, to put on his i-pod, which he did. Thanxs again, for making a diffucult time, a lot easier to deal with... all my love, Marsha Gamble... I will be bringing his daughter to your show in Detroit, would b cool, if you honored her father with a shout out to Col. Michael N Ertman...Thanks again for your time

    Please note this CD went platinum well after your tour started with the most excellent live band in the world.....the TWISTED BROWN TRUCKER BAND.

    You ain't out there on your own, dude.

    Sure hope the paychecks and bonuses reflect their contribution to your success.

    Thanks for filming your Born Free video in my "back yard"! The Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Grand Island, Sand Point, and Miner`s Beach. For those of us that live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, you made us very proud! Please come back to the U.P. and do a concert for us "YOOPERS"!
    We love you Kid Rock, you are Amazing!

    There was never a doubt in my mind that it would go platinum! I have just about wore out the CD. Bought it on the day it was released. And, some NICE pictures on the CD jacket too! Eye Candy!

    Congratulations! I also love that this is the first Kid Rock album release that hasn't had the "Parental Advisory" label attached to it. Even the kids can listen to it. Funny story: my buddy Tammy said that when her daughter Tiana first heard the song "Born Free" she was singing along "I was born a freak", guess that's what her wee ears heard hahahahaahaha! gotta love kids! (and the Kid!)
