Just the other day, my old-timey clock radio woke me up at 4:30 a.m. I had the dial set on 97.9 WGRD, which was blaring out Kid Rock's 1998 hit, "Bawitaba". 

My foggy mind said to myself, "what the fuck happened to him?" I shut off the radio and started my day.

"Devil Without A Cause" was Rock's breakthrough album and hits like the aforementioned "Bawitaba" along with "I Am the Bullgod", "Cowboy" and the ballad "Only God Knows Why" became rock standards. But sadly, Rock became a sellout.

In 2012, Rock announced that he was endorsing Mitt Romney for president to the anger of his longtime fans. He also decided to abandon his rap-rock roots and made the switch to country. The Kid had officially jumped the shark.

It's no secret that Rock is buddies with Drumpf. Last weekend, he and Drumpf, Jr. held a rally in Harrison Twp at a marina just outside Detroit. Thousands of spectators - many of whom maskless and with nary in the way of social distancing - went and saw the country-fried rocker and the de facto president's son rally for votes for the Hitler wannabe. Rock even performed four songs, including his "kiss of death" song, "All Summer Long". He performed despite severe neck pain. He also told the crowd that he's now planning his final tour.

I'm very proud of Michigan's musical heritage. Our state spawned legends like Stevie Wonder, Madonna, Smokey Robinson, The Supremes, The Four Tops, The Temptations, Madonna, Bob Seger, MC5, Iggy Pop and Eminem, just to name a few. This state also has current rock greats like Pop Evil, I Prevail and Jack White. Sadly, people like Kid Rock and even worse, Ted Nugent are the bad apples in Michigan's otherwise bountiful tree of music greats.

Michigan has always been proud of its manufacturing history as well. Sadly, Kid Rock doesn't give two fucks about poor people. Tragic, since once upon a time, he was a goofy white kid in the 'burbs whose life revolved around the mix shows WJLB made famous. He would go to black parties with a Sears turntable acting like a poseur. But once he started scratching, the partygoers would proclaim that the kid could rock. Now, he's a redneck jackass who beats a totally different drum. And when his hero loses this fall, the Bullgod will be reduced to bullshit.

And we can all sing "Happy Trails" to that Cowboy.
