Kid Rock has done it. The man whose very appearance warranted the invention of the term “man-rat” has succeeded where so many others have failed. Kid Rock has delivered a straight-outta-the-70’s-top-down-driving-fast-in-a-convertible stonker of a track. Imaginatively titled “All Summer Long”, he cleverly references Lynyrd Skynyrd, Michigan, drinking whiskey AND smoking reefer.I am not going to claim that Kid has broken new ground, as just by listening to the song you will hear his sampling ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ and probably every other 70’s rock anthem you can name. Nor will I say he is a lyrical genius, as he breaks the first rule of poetry: he uses the same word to rhyme with itself on the next line. But I don’t care. It’s a feel-good song, with a top notch video clip that doesn’t take itself too seriously and stokes up a warm feeling in your belly. Well done Kid, I salute you. Well done with giving Pamela the “Kid Rock Special”….And even though she left you, (no doubt for someone who doesn’t resemble Splinter), don’t forget the old adage: Tis better to have loved and lost, than to get your feet gnawed on by angry gnats.
Rock Out with Your Sock Out.
