yeah, it seemed to be almost addicting to watch
and sit there and make fun of it especially
because it was on mtv.
yes indeed, he did play that.  that was no
tribute as quoted by ananda from mtv.  on to
more....

ah yes, kid rock.  the one guy back in the early
90's that looked like a reject cross between run
dmc and beastie boys.
he wasn't good then and he hasn't gotten better.
 he is now decribed as the ultimate porn star. 
...or ringmaster of the people who were dealt a
lousy hand.  some thing like that.

i'd never would go.  some of the line ups were
nice as i have seen on tv but i thing the lake
of piss and fecal matter, the mud people, and
the lack of adquate plumbing would keep me from
attending an event such as woodstock.  oddly
enough, its suppose to be an even in peace
through music yet all of it ended in what media
described as a riot.
