To all the fans of music and those whom are not, one simply struggles to deny the authority of the famous Kid Rock and his influence upon the music scene for several years now.  In addition to nominations for multiple Grammy awards for his musicianship, and as a proud resident of the great state of Michigan, especially one who has remained in the area, even during the height of his career and cultural fame.  As nuance to his music of bringing loyalty and pride to the place he has grown up, music has taken this gentleman - like many - across the globe multiple times.  

       His latest adventure appears to be in the grace of his stage name, with rocks depicted as quickly sinking as they are tossed into water.  However, his Chillin' The Most tour, which was founded upon a cruise ship, contains an exotic list of unknown stops during its ocean-crossing venture.  Definitely an original take of a new approach to his music touring habits, as ticket holders can beat the traditional feel of a concert venue for one-night of brawling with traffic and event go'ers for parking spots with the opportunity for consecutive evenings of touring alongside the Kid Rock mantra and enjoying their music regularly -- even nightly.  In addition, the cruising tour can be said to name of famous ensembles that are currently not published.

       Regardless of the venue -- whether the event occurs in Detroit "proper," the Metro-Detroit Reviewed Region, or outside of anything close to the vicinity -- every concert attendee can feel like they are back in Michigan with a Kid Rock concert.  Rest assured, when it comes to this confident artist with a fame that only few can match, Michigan is always alongside everywhere Kid Rock travels.  No stereotypical Motown act here, no city identifer or slogan, yet his city crest emblazoned upon an unspoken banner of pride as he ventures into the world and declares where he came from.  The refreshment of the music industry was highly needed when this up and coming artist entered the scene and took it by storm instead of running from it, and this committed, dedicated musician does all he can to take his pride with him in the showcase.  

       The cruise tour is shaping up for a momentous, notorious occasion with partying, live music, and more delivered at one ticket price.  More is being given to attendees than the singular items could encompass on their own, and the touch of Kid Rock flare is sure to satisfy even the most loyal of fans.  Assuming you were fortunate to have obtained a ticket, and among the selected few counting down the days until the cruise ship gets underway, this is perhaps turning out to be a yearly tribute and an event that many are going to be talking about for years to come.  In fact, assuming you have missed out on this year's opportunity, tickets are already available for next year's purchase.  Without all attendees currently taking part, this is one intelligent move on behalf the music industry as bills can be paid, overhead can be addressed, logistics can be figured out, and a satisfying experience can be had by all involved. 

       The old days of the rap we grew up on in Kid Rock's style; the new age country that he has engulfed his tone with... his down-to-earth tone as of late seems a bit of something nearly everyone can appreciate!  As taking part in his event is both sizable and something that can please nearly all walks of life, the open sea partying alongside a well-respected, real life rock star is truly a once in a lifetime privilege.  Whether the open seas are for you, or a dive bar is more to your liking, one can still feel at home when taking advantage of this seldom noticed, seldom appreciated, or seldom comprehended opportunity to live life to its fullest with the legendary, home-grown, humble and loyal neighborhood and music industry-leading artist: Kid Rock!

            Ask anyone where Madonna was born and most will point to cities like New York, or even Jersey, with the type of styling ahead of its time, the openness and expression, the Avant Garde nature of her persona and performing, yet those who know are aware that she was actually born in the quiet suburbs of Rochester Hills, and that home she spent her childhood within is up on the market once more, giving the ability to own the Material Girls own digs for a paltry half million dollars.

            The home has its history, and not all of it has been good, with many turnovers since her parents vacated the premises, a fire that damaged much of the building, and more, yet the current owners and thus sellers, have turned the property around once more, making it look as beautiful inside as the natural surroundings that graces the property. With the ability to walk the halls where the toddler and future Grammy winner did, to potentially finding yourself standing in the exact location where the musical inspiration hit that would propel her life, it’s a truly once in a lifetime opportunity.

            There’s no doubting the impact that Madonna made on the music scene, and how big of a brand she became for the U.S. in general. Selling millions of albums worldwide, becoming an actress, spokesperson, and business owner. To her inevitable crazy mid-life experiences with various religions and more, she is a woman who constantly defies definition, and yet is unique in a way that no one else possible could be. A leader in the sexual revolution of women in the mid and late eighties, she has had more of an impact on society as a whole than arguably any before her or since.

            And even though she may be heading into her twilight years, there is still spunk left within her, a carryover of drug fueled days of yore maybe, but more than likely due to her inability to stop creating. She has been touring still recently, and even makes pitstops back in her home state for musical intervals. She is a piece of our society, and a major part of anyone’s life born in the eighties or nineties. Much like the pop music of today, she was inescapable when it came to radio play.
​
            With the movement of her home to yet another owner, it displays this passage of time, much like through her music, the home she was raised in has touched the lives of many, and whether you’ve been a fan your whole life, or even just recently, we know that the ability to permanently share a space with her memories is one that’s unlike any other experience you can have with a musician. If you have a half million to spare, and know the beauty of the Rochester Hills area, then maybe this investment can be one worth making, after all, we are living in a material world. ​
