Kid Rock: Devil With a Cause

Kid RockThere is a group of people Kid Rock loves more than strippers -- Boy Scouts. No, not like that.

Troop 631 of the Oviedo Boy Scouts in Orlando, Fl. had their $5,600 trailer stolen, which contained $4,000 in camping gear as well. Kid Rock read about the heist -- he happened to be in town on tour -- and told the troop he would cut a check to help them make their summer camping trip to Tennessee.

Hopefully he didn't pay it all in singles.

16. Kid Rock is the BEST!!!!! I just saw him last October in Toronto, Canada and I can't wait for him to come to Toronto again. He played a small show to warm up for his tour. I am not surprised that he helped those kids out, look at how much time he spends entertaining and visiting the troops.

19. Don't bail them out. There is a lesson here. You must secure your things. The boy scout motto is "be prepared". That means plan be ready for these things. Kid, your heart is in the right place though. Kudos.

21. I think Kid Rock absolutely ROCKS...in so many ways! This just proves to people, DO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER! Even though I love his cover (tee hee). That was so generous and caring of him to do that for these boys! What a guy..I have a whole new respect for this man! Cant wait to see him in Cincy in August!

23. I LOVE him!!! I think he's a genuinely honest & good guy. He stands up for what he believes in. You gotta respect that. Plus he does all that stuff for the troops overseas.

26. Man I love him. Love his new album! He is the coolest celeb. He visits the troops probably as much as anyone. A celebrity who truly gives back. Love him!

27. Oviedo is a burb of Orlando, and the theft was all over the local news. Wasn't a big fan (well, not a fan at all) of Kid Rock, but his generosity is truly appreciated. Thank you, Kid Rock! Oh, and thanks to TMZ for actually posting a positive story instead of the usual negs and insults.

28. He really is a cool guy. He didnt have to do that...And he doesnt have to support our troops the way he does either...He is one Class Act in my book...And on hellova entertainer...Saw him with Aerosmith and he smoked them. Kid Rawks!

29. Kid Rock is not only a bad ass in concert( I Just saw him in Norfolk!) he also has a heart. All the Ritchie fans knew that a long time ago though. My 76 year old Mother who past away in September loved him and knew his was a good person!
What an awesome and kindhearted thing to do! We love you Bobby!

Come back soon and Rock & ROLL Norfolk and Virginia Beach!

30. That was a really nice thing to do,but he needs a diet. Rock and roll and excess body fat don't mix.

You put on a great show Bob. Don't go gettin' all Vince Neil on us.
