Kid Rock

Born – January 17, 1971
Romeo, Michigan, U.S.

Real Name – Robert James "Bob" Ritchie

Singer, rapper, sometimes Republican.

Released some albums no one cared about, gave a career defining performance at Woodstock 1999, which was enjoyed by lots of rich SUV drivers pretending to be filthy hippies.

Had some hit songs, became a star, gave people something to listen to while attending monster truck rallies and cockfights.

Brought Bob Seger back from semi-retirement during his 2006 pre-Super Bowl concerts in Detroit. In other news, Bob Seger retired? What the hell, man.

Has his own line of beer called "Bad Ass Beer," which is likely not really bad ass, because anything that calls itself bad ass cannot possibly actually be bad ass.

Met Pamela Anderson in 2001, got engaged to Pamela Anderson in 2002, called off engagement to Pamela Anderson months later, married Pamela Anderson in 2006, divorced Pamela Anderson 5 months later.

Made his acting debut in "Joe Dirt," playing a violent redneck. It's the role he was born to play! (literally)

Supports Mitt Romney, who probably has absolutely no idea who he is.
