    AN UPDATE FROM TOUR

    "At the end of the day we're all Detroit, we're one country, one family." - Kid Rock

    As you already know, Kid Rock is in the middle of a very special club tour! In each concert city, he is donating money to local charities, causes and individuals through the Kid Rock Foundation. But he's not alone! Without a collection of Detroit visionaries who understand that at the end of the day we're all in the same boat whether in Detroit, or elsewhere, this club tour couldn't happen. We wanted to take a moment to give a big shout out to the Detroit based businesses and individuals that are helping Kid Rock make a huge difference around the country! Thank you to:

    · Quicken Loans Inc, Fathead,
    · Danialle and Peter Karmanos, Jr. and Compuware Corporation,
    · Cathy and Nate Forbes - The Somerset Collection
    · The Suburban Collection
    · Gretchen and Ethan Davidson
    · Holly and Tom Gores, and the Detroit Pistons.

    Watch out for more information regarding the charities/individuals that we've donated to in each city. We'll send out updates through the rest of the tour in case you'd like to donate your time or money to these causes.

I just wanted to say how disappointed I am that I can't get tickets to Kid Rock here in Las Vegas. And I think these damn scalpers should not be able to buy them all up and sell $100 tix for $300-$500! If the economy wasn't so shitty here and I could afford to spend 300-500 bucks on a ticket...I would. Kid Rock is worth every penny. So if anyone out there does get a chance to see him shine in concert...I highly recommend it! He is an outstanding gifted talent, to say the least. And the fact that he does so much good for people everywhere...just makes me love him all the more. One of these days...I'll get back home to Michigan, and who knows...maybe I'll have the best of both worlds and see Bob at a Redwings game at the Joe! Now that would be my dream come true!

I challenge all of us to notice what businesses have teamed up KR! We can do muich by supporting and agreeing with one another. This is so very important if we all take just a small action look how many people can be affected. Note this is a statement of who these companies are and who KR is! The man in black is standing proud and June is smiling down on all of ya!

Thank you for helping out us Michiganders! The MID sale is wonderful! I wish I could afford to buy some merchandise to help support the "cause", but unfortunately, Im unable to at this time. My only son came home on leave from the military (yay!!). My job made me choose seeing my son or keeping my job as they wouldnt approve any time off. Unfortunately, I hadnt been able to see him in a year, so it wasnt a hard decision for me to make. I left my job to see my son. But, times are tough none the less.

You continue to be an inspiration...kudos to you and your city...it is a perfect example on how everyone can give and make a difference. Again, I wish you would consider accepting donations to your foundation via the internet...everyone would have an opportunity to contribute what they could...it all adds up...these are difficult times for many people and you have a voice (pun intented) and the access to support people in need...40 has been good for you...YOU are incredible!!

I was one of the few who was blessed enough to see your show in Atlanta. Even though it was my 3rd time seeing you this year it was by far the best because of what it stood for. Helping those in need is a wonderful thing but to see someone who has so much still be a person and help others through music and influence just makes it all the sweeter... thank you

This doesn't surprise those of us who live where you do. You've given so much to those around your community. Being a rock star is just a small portion of who you are!! So many people have been touched by your generosity. Keep up what you're doing!!

I actually cried when Kid Rock was talking about why the band was doing this tour. It makes my heart warm to know that so many people can care, really care. Thanks for a wonderful concert and making a difference in so many lives.
