I haven’t had occasion to meet him yet, but from stories I’ve heard and witnessed, Kid seems like a great guy and I look forward to hearing this new album of his. I’ll fish this issue out of the closet and give it a look-through again tonight. He had a feature in another GR issue: “Kid Rock’s Favorite Bass Tracks.” I remember one of them was “Cars that Go Boom” by L’Trimm, but really, who doesn’t count that one as a favorite?
But the link to Motorbooty made me wish that someone would put out reprints, or a bound collection or something. Come to think of it, a Grand Royal mag collection would be stellar too. I’m sure Ian and/or the Beasties get that question all the time, though. Maybe they could include the tabloid they gave out on that one tour where they call Billy Joel “the fifth Beastie Boy.” Surely I can’t be the only one who remembers that?
