So, Kid Rock (aka Robert J. Ritchie) advocates stealing his music.
He also says that iTunes and all the other online music stores are a new version of the old music industry where everyone gets a bigger cut than the artists themselves. Apparently, Robert doesn't understand the online model that Apple follows whereby the music company takes the lion's share of the pie and Apple is left breaking even (so they say).
Robert is also unaware that he gave the music cartel permission to bend him over the table and fuck him mercilessly up the ass when he signed that contract. Robert is also getting fucked by the management company he's hired to represent his interests during the negotiations.
According to Robert's logic, anyone (who can get past his security) can just walk into his house and steal what they want. He is rich. He is also advocating that we try to get into his live shows for free.
It's interesting to note that Mr Ritchie also owns his own label - Top Dog Records. I wonder if he fucks over the talent that he signs so as to support his lifestyle? Did he steal all the recording equipment he has?
Oh, Mr. Ritchie also doesn't understand how the oil economy works either. It's being driven (literally) by consumers in Hummers. In order to emulate the rock star lifestyle (which he serves as one of the top role models), one would have to buy the flashiest things. Big-ass, gas sucking Hummers with chromed 22's would serve nicely.
So, overall a nice interview that ably demonstrates the intelligence and logic of one of the top acts of our time.
