Rock'n'Whine

I was reading the “Smoking Section” of www.rollingstone.com. After being arrested for getting into another violent conflict, professional loser, Kid Rock was sentenced to 80 hours of community service. He then went on to do shows for the troops over in Iraq. This is a great gesture for troops risking their lives in war. Nothing says America like the Rebel Flag saluting Kid Rock. It is almost embarrassing that he is a representative of America over in other countries. No wonder so many people have spiteful opinions of this country.
The Atlanta judge decided that these trips and performances were not warranted as community service. In my mind they weren’t. Rock wasn’t performing acts of community service in the areas where he was arrested and charged. It’s great that Rock went and raised money for a local community, but he still has responsibilities to uphold.
Rock rants to fans at www.kidrock.com and writes that it is a slap in the face to America. A real slap in the face to America occurs every time someone puts a rebel flag sticker, license plate, or belt buckle on. I get that Rock thinks that he has done good deeds and that he has paid for his mistakes. Maybe he has, but one judge thinks he should do something out of the spot light of the camera. If that spot light never turns back on for Kid Rock, so be it.
