Did anyone ever watch the show Fat Actress on Showtime? It starred Kirstie Alley as herself and was hilarious. It was inappropriate and ridiculous and also co-started Bryan Callen (as her assistant) and Rachael Harris (as her hair stylist, Kevyn (“After my role model, Kevyn Aucoin.”)).
It only lasted one season — one season which was sadly only nine or so episodes long — but it was great. Well, in my mind it was great. In fact, I may or may not own it on DVD.
There’s one point in the show where Kirstie becomes obsessed with Kid Rock. She loves Kid, wants to be with Kid, and I believe the whole show (the whole series, actually, no I’m not bitter) ends with her vowing to get hot and skinny for Kid.
Kirstie, girlfriend, I get it. Kid Rock is kind of gross and icky but I love him. He’s totally ugly-hot and I dig it.

Chris and I were driving around San Diego when we first heard that Sweet Home Alabama/Werewolves of London hybrid.
“This is terrible!” we exclaimed.
“This shouldn’t be allowed!” we yelled.
“And that was Kid Rock’s newest single…” the radio announcer said.
“Okay. Maybe it wasn’t so bad.”
“I think I kind of like it, actually.”

Our newest thing to listen to the Kid Rock Pandora station, which is basically a whole lot of good, quality, ’90s rock. A little GnR, a little Metallica, lots of Kid Rock. It’s pretty much the perfect station, as you can imagine.
…
My favorites are the Kid Rock ballads. I don’t really like Sheryl Crow (except Tuesday Night Music Club, obviously) but she and Kid doing Picture just gets me every time.
Forgive Kid! Whatever he did! He still loves you! Who cares if he boned some chick while you were on a break! It’s Kiiiid Rockkkk.

I was watching Good Morning America the other morning — this is a new thing, by the way, me watching “the news” in the mornings, rather than, say the Real Housewives of Wherever — and they showed a replay of Kid Rock performing at a presidential candidate’s event the night before.
Now, I won’t say that Kid’s hold on me is such that I would vote for someone solely based on his or her fine choice in campaign rally entertainment.
But.
It’s Kiiiid Rockkkk.
They say I’m cocky… and I say, WHAT!!
He looks like a walking disease, but I still kinda like him. đŸ™‚
I could not possibly hear you MORE than I do right now. I love me some Kid Rock, man
I know, Sarah. I KNOW. What IS it?
I forgot to mention how much I looooooooved Fat Actress. I was bummed for a long time that it didn’t get a second season. So, so funny.
We should have talked more at The Blathering. Between this and your love for Sons of Anarchy — and the fact that you are a PR person who seems to understand how news works — we seem to have a lot in common.
Kid Rock: Causing You To Compromise Your Sensibilities Since 1971
This is the perfect description. I always find myself listening to kid rock for way longer than I *should* because HELLO he is this kind of disgusting, unapologetic, trashy, long haired greasy guy and um…GROSS.
And then also: AWESOME. HAHAHAHAHA
I always feel ashamed and intrigued simultaneously about Kid Rock. He needs to write a memoir so I can read it.

remember when that song was nominated for a Grammy…?
oh geez, Kid Rock?
I am a Kid Rock freak too! He lives about 45 minutes from us and friends of ours are in the same town and see him at games and around town.
I mean, he can’t influence me to vote Republican, but I like him a whole lot.
