Kid Rock, who has performed at Republican events in the past and is currently appearing in ads for the National Guard, has sold some 25 million albums and recently went to no. 1 with his latest, Rock N Roll Jesus, according to Hollywood Insider.
“Celebrities are always putting themselves behind politics, and people assume I’m a Republican, which is funny, because I’ve never said that I was. My views generally lean towards less government, yes, but I’m not going to sit here and talk about it publicly, because I’m not that educated in political science. And I feel like to do so, I need to be. Because I might be able to influence people who listen to what I say, and who am I to tell them?” he said.
He will, however, be making what he says is his "fourth or fifth trip" to Iraq this Christmas to entertain the U.S. troops still engaged overseas.
“You don’t have to agree with what’s going on there to support them. I’ve tried to get more [entertainers] to come over with me, and they bail with lame excuses. Just do it, man,” he added.
