    How original, Kid Rock, blatantly rip off Lynyrd Skynrd and throw in some "summer rock" cliches. Case in point that top 40 radio sucks!!!

    The number one reason that Kid Rock's CD is flying off the shelf is because it's a hit in multiple formats. Not only is it number 6 on the Mediabase Top 40 chart, but it's number 15 on the Country chart.
