I will admit I took Kid Rock seriously for a couple of weeks and then I stopped giving opinion on the race because something didn’t seem quite right.

Some of you probably didn’t hear about the incident that happened last week where Eminem and Kid Rock were both at the Detroit Piston’s NBA basketball game and when both were announced, Eminem received a huge applause while Kid Rock got chorus of boos.

Conservative media placed Kid Rock on a pedestal and even started printing polls but my one problem I had with it was he didn’t declare. He didn’t sign or have any intention on signing paperwork to signal his jump into the political circle. He did however, tweet out a few things that took off like rockets but it fizzled out after a few days.

Mocking people who took the idea seriously, Kid Rock said this morning he’s not running for U.S. Senate. “F— no, I’m not running for Senate. Are you kidding me?” Rock said on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show. “Who couldn’t figure that out? I’m releasing a new album. I’m going on tour too. Are you f—— s——- me?”

How are his supporters going to take this type of response after they jump on the support train for him?

Rock’s new album, “Sweet Southern Sugar,” will be released Nov. 3, Stern said at the start of a wide-ranging interview that tackled Rock’s wealth, his distaste for the music business and his 2018 tour plans. Rock said the Senate idea — which he publicly toyed with for months — was a mixed blessing. “It’s the worst advice I ever gave myself, but it’s been the most creative thing I’ve ever done,” he said. “And I’ve gotten to see everyone’s true colors.” Rock said he talked with Eminem’s manager, Paul Rosenberg, at last week’s Detroit Pistons opener at Little Caesars Arena. Right-leaning Rock and left-leaning Eminem have been become high-profile political lightning rods. “Let’s not let this divide us,” Rock said he told Rosenberg. Eminem, on the heels of a viral rap blasting President Donald Trump, was loudly cheered at the start of the game. Rock, shown onscreen in the arena, drew boos from some in the crowd. Rock said as public hype grew around the Senate talk this year, even people in his circle who were “in on the joke” started to take it seriously. “No, we’re not doing it,” he said he’d tell them, “but let’s roll with it for a while.”

Some feelings are going to be hurt as they got taken for a ride on the Kid Rock tour bus. This should teach everyone, before you decide to follow someone, make sure that person has done everything possible to show they are fully committed to running to make a difference and it’s not just words.
