There seems to be a lot of confusion & backlash, especially from the Christian community, about Kid Rock‘s performance during TPUSA‘s All-American Halftime Show. I believe I can clear things up… Kid Rock started his set by performing “Bawitdaba”, which came out in 1999. It a vulgar song, referencing topless dancers, drinking, crooked cops, bastards, etc. Hearing that was a shock to a lot of us. Rightfully so. It felt worldly, which I believe was the point… Next, there was an acoustic set with two people playing a Christian hymn. It was meant to be an emotional bridge to what came next… Finally, it transitioned to Kid Rock, his stage name, being introduced back to the stage as Robert Ritchie, his birth name. He then played a revised version of “Til’ You Can’t”, which included lyrics about Jesus Christ. He also spoke about Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, encouraged people to follow Christ, and to read their Bibles. This was supposed to be an artistic way of portraying a redemption story. I don’t know Kid Rock’s walk with Christ, but he used this moment to point people to Christ, and I rejoice in that (Philippians 1:15-18)
