As for Kid Rock's country shtick, since when does living in Michigan for your entire life make you a Southern Good Old Boy?
2. It doesn't, but that won't stop plenty of people from trying. You know, the "northern rebel" douchebags with their confederate-flag paraphernalia and possibly truck nutz, etc. Just move to Alabama if that's what you're really into.

Lay off Alabama. I have lived in Michigan for college and Birmingham, AL. I ran across a lot more racist rednecks and "country boy" FWD's in Michigan -- and I also heard of more Klan activity there, too. Yeah, Jackson, looking at you. Not to condemm either state. Both are filled primarily with good, nice people but, no, Kid Rock's persona is not extreme for Michigan. Outside the cities and a few towns, it is mostly farms. And everyone hunts.
