    Kid Rock Video Shoot 'Unbelievable,' Says Midland Woman Who Won A Spot

    It wasn’t the promise of rock-star fame and glory that drew Shannon Luft to hours of volunteer work with the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.

    But if shooting a music video with Kid Rock comes with the package, she’s not going to complain.

    “It was freezing cold, and I was in heels, covered in mud up to my knee-caps, but it was so much fun,” said Luft, 27, who on Thursday, Oct. 27, headed for an abandoned warehouse off Lafayette in Detroit to appear in the Kid Rock-Martina McBride video, “Care.”

    “They took my sister and me right in — the other extras had to wait in long lines outside — and we got to watch Kid Rock shoot his part of the video and talk with him afterwards. He was super, super nice: I thanked him for letting me take part and he made a big deal of telling us, ‘No, we appreciate you coming out.’”

    As Luft had guessed, seeing that McBride had a show in California that night, the country singer wasn’t there. But the rapper TI made an appearance at the close, recording his part of the song.

    “We got to eat lunch with the production crew, too, and you wouldn’t believe how much food they had,” she said. “There were five different meats, and a candy buffet bar where you could scoop up some M&Ms and Tootsie Rolls.

    “It was all unbelievable."

VERY COOL!! Nice to see that someone that is such a good person won! I went down there after the shoot (when I found out where it was) and took pictures of the warehouse "CARE" wall. That was pretty awesome, by itself.

Sent my photos in a week ago and got a call last Sunday to come in for interview/audition said if I get picked will receive a phone call on Wed. 6 pm got the call got picked as an extra had to be downtown at 7 45am and would be paid 100.00 How cool was that!! Woke up at 2 am sick as a dog and spent the next 10 hrs in the bathroom So as you guess no way in hell I could make there for the shooting. This will haunt me the rest of my life!! What a way to blow a chance of a life time!! Maybe some day I will meet Kid Rock..Way to represent the D Kid!!!

If anyone read the full article, I would like to apologize and state that the article misquoted me. I never went in for "make up" nor did I "expect" a part among other things that I did not say. I am beyond grateful to have had this opportunity. I'm slightly disapointed that this article made me sound cocky in a way, when in reality I was amazed at everyone's kindness. I was hoping to put the focus on Relay For Life and what volunteering has done for me but that was not the case. Thank you again to production for making us feel at home and to Kid Rock for this amazing opportunity.

They way I look at it is that if I'm gonna be knee deep in freezing mud.....I'd need to be facing more that just a Tootsie Roll.....Anyone get my drift? That's just where I'm at these days. I cannot afford to work for free. Sorry to say. I may sound a bit harsh but I do donate money to missions through my church. I know I can't even save myself right now let alone the world. God Bless Kid and all his efforts. I wish I could do the same, it sucks to be on the other side of the coin.
