“We plan to play great songs for folks who love America. We're approaching this show like David and Goliath. Competing with the pro football machine and a global pop superstar is almost impossible ... or is it?”

“My DJ, who actually raps that song with me, was not lit up. I'm jumping around the stage like a rabid monkey, rapping my song, and I'm taking breaths, and my DJ is filling in the other parts of it.”

— Kid Rock (usmagazine.com)

“I even told them when I saw the rough cut, I was like, 'You guys got to work on that sync. It's off.' So it was just a syncing issue that they had, and I know they tried to get it right. It was very difficult.”
