I'll give this to Kid Rock. He earned everything he got in the music business. Nothing was given to him. While I'm not thrilled about having entertainers in politics, I can always appreciate someone who worked hard for what they achieved. This path in life helps shape you outlook and your ability to work with others, as opposed to the heir/heiress apparent or the resume builder who never stays in one position long enough to do anything meaningful.

Hey, I've got nothing against the guy and it looks like he's a hard worker. I'm just saying that not everyone is cut out to be a politician on the federal level.

Actually a lot was given to him by his wealthy (or at least upper middle class) parents, including the money he used to start his DJ business during which he came up with his stage name. They also funded acting and singing lessons for him. He grew up in a 15 room, 5,600 square foot estate with a five car garage, three horse barn, in ground swimming pool and private tennis court.

So it is not accurate to say nothing was given to him.
