    There is some idiot posing as "Bob Ritchie" on facebook. It's not me. I have no personal facebook page or twitter or anything else. My website is the only place I personally post - Kid Rock.

That figures Bob . I have some fool doing that to me . But what really strikes a nerve they are using my Grandkids for my profile pic and its the same pic I use . If I find out who it is there Facebook will nolonger exsist . I hate hakers ani I am one . But for the sake of my grandkids being exploited like that burns my ass so there just gona be dust in the wind on facebook and there pc will be as usfull as a calculator if it will even turn back on. I use my skills now to help build computers for the needie and unforunate families that cant afford a good computer . So this one will be my last and my point should get across to the idiots . You cant con a con and you never hack a hacker . 90% of them are computer technitions like me now and putting that talent to a good cause . So Bob If you or your band members know of any computers that can be fixed and or formated please email me at dcle3@hotmail .com . It will help alot of Detroit kids and families all over the state of Michigan .. Thanks for your time Kid . your the best bro ....If something should go wrong wth my hotmail . Use dcle3@yahoo.com. Its for a good cause and nonprofit . We need our kids coumpter savy asap and I'm willing to dedicate my time to do what has to be done !!!

I'm so glad you posted this because you wouldn't believe how many people believe it's you. There is a big loop hole in the way abuse is reported on facebook. You can hit the "Report Abuse" button everywhere but in the chat screen. Over the summer there was a poser with your mug shot as the profile picture,which made many of us mad. I mean come on if there gone pretend to be you at least make you look good. This guy was using the chat window to prey on your female fans asking them to send him topless and naked pics. He also made the mistake of saying some very hurtful things to me. I turned out to be his worst nightmare, A Strong Intelligent Women with an Attitude! After contacting all your female fans on his friends list an getting them stirred up, Most defriended him. After alot of research I finally found an email address to report abuse. I sent an email to this address "abuse@facebook.com" and included complaints from many of your female fans reporting him as a predator and explaining the abuse through the chat window. He was banned and his page taken down but facebook unfortunatly has not address the abuse potential of the chat window. An Abuse button needs to be added to that window that would send a copy of the conversation when activated. Even though these posers sites are kinda funny with all the stuff that gets posted there, The problem is these guys are preying on your female fans. It would be great if you could send an email to the abuse email address with links to these posers asking them to take down the pages.

I would think that the ass posing as you could be tracked down through IP address, and prosecuted, or at least fined! Hell, something! I know that ass wipe in Vegas in 2009 that was dressed like you, trying to look like you and had all them crazy ass women with him in that bar was told by each of us in our little group that he was pathetic, embarrassing himself, and needed to get a real life because he would never come close to measuring up to even half you pinky finger?. He got pissed, but never got up because he knew if he did, he would have to deal with all of us?. It pisses me off, but I also pity the dumbass because she obviously has mental problems, and no real life.

It's really sad that people try to fool others. I feel for the people that actually believe in these fools, but some don't know any better, others live in a deep fantasy. But when some of us try to tell ya it ain't Kid Rock, trust us will ya. Some of us have been fans long enough to know the real deal from the fake............just sayin!!!!!!!

LOL Detroit99 a fake could probably fool Wong, lol........but we don't want that to happen, the fake would make it much worse for our man Kid Rock!!!!!

So are you saying the "offical" Kid Rock page on myspace is not you? or the facebook Kid Rock page? Or the Twitter page? Or are you saying the pages listed as Bob Ritchie, when you say personal? JW?

What a Bitch someone trying to be Kid Rock! There is only one and he has found himself and this new Born Free Album is AWESOME! Bob you have come home to where you need to be this is it. The title song touches my heart as you depict my husbands life(from Pontiac, MI) who passed away almost 2 yrs ago. He was the most amazing experence of my life. The video of Roll On brings back the memories of when we went home to Detroit and he took me all around there some as seen in the video, its like Im riding with him again. Honey I know you have a Momma but I do adopt, LOL You have an open invitation to come to Ky and we will go horseback riding on my horse farm. Hopefully I will see you in Nashville at the Fest! Take Care you are awesome at this point in your life, ROCK ON BABY

Hi there, Thanks for the information about someone posing as you and that you're not on facebook. ( I tried to find you on there awhile back ). Love your new "Born Free" album and the video. Awesome job!!! Take good care, keep up the good work. Kat

Yeah, most of us know this is your only site and some of us are keeping an eye on a few of them. It is sad that people have nothing better to do than to act like other people, instead of being themselves, it must be a lack of self esteem. Their time would be better spent working at a shelter, building habitat homes, or feeding the hungry...Just saying, there are no crowns in heaven for those who try to deceive others! God Bless you.

We were @ the Panama Beach Bike Rally last spring & some dude was @ Coyote Ugly Dressed up like Kid Rock, he was with that guy from the Speed channel ( Can't remember his name ) So my old man thought it was Kid Rock , but this guy was a JERK ! I said no way that could be him ,cause Kid seems to be really down to earth. The personality didnt match the guy I have seen in interviews or @ concerts @ all . We still argue about that !! LOL Really hope it wasn't you Bob . 1st cause I hate to loose an argument :) & 2nd I just know that you are not that ARROGANT !!

Based on the chat I had with this person I got the impression that it was a Dude.

It's hard enough being yourself, I think these ass hole are not comfortable in their own skin. Look at it this way, at least they want to be hip. Waiting to see some east coast dates, And hope I be on top of thing and get some good tickets, last three times had the nose bleeds, but show was way over the top! The BadAss beer made the trip from Ferndale and it's damn good! Yet another way to support MI. Good job Bobbie! By the way have you gotten the word or checked a spring date at pier 6 for the spring time (in Baltimore) or how close ya going to get to Annapolis? hoosierelect2@yahoo.com Thax for any help with info..

Hey Bob, thanks for telling us and don't be too mad about these things, okay? There're always some nuts out there who think it's funny to try to be somebody else. You can report this guy to facebook if you like. Hope you're fine and already start preparing everything for the birthday party. ;-) Have a great start into the new week!

If Rock or even the band tried to come on here to chat, thousands of peeps would all get on at once and crash the site. lol
