Editorial Product Review:
Amazon.com: Rock Is Back. After 22 million records sold in the US and a three year hiatus, Kid Rock is back with the brand new album 'Rock N Roll Jesus'. Kid Rock hustled in the Detroit underground for over ten years before he burst into the mainstream in 1999 with the timeless rock anthem 'Bawitdaba.' Other hits like 'Cowboy' and 'American Bad A**' followed while ballads like his 'Picture' duet with Sheryl Crow and 'Only God Knows Why' helped to propel him forward as one of the greatest artists of our time. His latest offering Rock N Roll Jesus is no exception, running the gamut from hard rock to hip-hop to country and soul. Of the album, which Rock co-produced with Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls, My Chemical Romance), he says: 'I am proud of every single song on this record. It works from start to finish.'

Amazon.com: Kid Rock maintains a remarkable propensity for wearing his contradictions on his sleeve, and more than anything he's previously released, Rock n Roll Jesus finds fuel in unresolved opposites. Is he a hard-core chauvinist ('Half Your Age') or a would-be gentlemen ('When U Love Someone')? Is he a God-fearing everyman ('Blue Jeans and a Rosary') or a bohemian hero ('So Hott')? These questions are nothing new, even if the album at hand takes them to freshly delirious extremes. Ever since he first began shedding his rap/rock posture to be the next Ted Nugent, Kid Rock has constructed his public persona out of full-frontal ambivalence: race, class, sex, religion, money, whatever it takes. This album's bookends--the title song and 'bonus' track, 'Lowlife (Living the Highlife)'--demonstrate all this irreconcilable nonsense in no uncertain terms, but all his polar wobbling is at least stabilized by a firm commitment to southern-styled rock, tinged at times with gospel, blues, a lingering need to rap ('Sugar'), and a rare, soul-fed instrumental jambalaya ('New Orleans'). In the end, Kid Rock may be a remarkable self-promoter, but a musical Messiah he is not. --Jason KirkPeople en Español Pareciera que Kid Rock está madurando, en Rock and Roll Jesus ha dejado atrás al típico rockero que se conformaba con escandalizar, y se ha atrevido a navegar las aguas de otros géneros como el country y el blues en canciones como 'New Orleans' y 'All Summer Rock,' además Rock se ha olvidado del hip-hop, hoy denuncia la muerte absurda de soldados en Irak y el racismo. Pero no crea que el músico se ha convertido precisamente en un santo, el disco incluye canciones poderosas como 'So Hutt' que es puro rock o 'Half Your Age' en la que no es secreto que vuelca todas sus frustraciones por haber perdido a Pamela Anderson. En la canción él dice que ahora tiene una chica más joven y más hot. En suma Rock and Roll Jesus es un material mucho más maduro, pero si quiere escuchar al Kid Rock escandaloso y despreocupado de antes quizá no sea buena idea comprarlo. Por el contrario si le gusta el hard rock de los años 70 y el country, este es un álbum que le gustará. --Ernesto Sánchez (People en Español)

I BOUGHT 3 ONE FOR MYSELF (54} MY OLDEST SON (37)
AND ONE FOR MY YOUNGEST SON (32)
WE ALL LOVE THE CD
Customer Rating: - Awesome CD
Never being a Kid Rock fan and never really listening to his music unless it was on the radio - this is a great CD. I love almost every song. Song #5 and #6 are alittle vulger and I kind of skip by those but other then that I would highly recommend this CD you'll love it!!
Customer Rating: - This 50 yr old woman loved it!!
OK. I'm 50 years old which means the only music I listen to is classic rock and country. I heard "All Summer Long" on a country radio station and my boyfriend told me to buy the CD.
I couldn't believe how much I liked this record. I listened to it over and over and it only got better with each listen.
I really dislike rap, I never "got the message". I thought Kid Rock was a rapper, but he has earned my respect as a songwriter an artist that breaks all boundries.
I liked every song on the record. It's been a long time since I've said that about a CD.
Good job Kid. Keep up the good rock.

Customer Rating: - Rock 'n Roll White Trash, but in a good way
This is the best of any Kid Rock cd I've bought. Ok, it's a little bit more on the "religious" side - if you can use the words "religion" and "Kid Rock" in the same sentence and not have a lightning bolt strike you dead. There are about 3 songs that are the reason the "Explicit Lyrics" sticker is on it. Only 1 almost made my ears bleed, but this ain't Helen Reddy. Another plus (or minus depending on how much you like Kid Rock) you can make out almost 100% of the words.
We've covered in too much detail how it's some sort of "open season" on Vonage when it comes to VoIP patents. After dealing with ridiculous and expensive patent lawsuits from companies who failed to actually innovate in the same way Vonage did, the company was pressured by Wall Street to quickly settle the various patent lawsuits filed against the company. Of course, rather than settle matters, that simply opened the door for other companies to go searching through their patent portfolios to see if there was anything they could sue Vonage over. Indeed, following those settlements it didn't take long for AT&T to dig up a patent and sue -- which was quickly settled as well. Thought things were over? No such luck. Nortel just showed up last month to sue and it took all of about a week and a half for Vonage to settle that case as well.
The Nortel case is slightly different because Vonage actually already had a patent infringement lawsuit going against Nortel, but it wasn't really initiated by Vonage. Instead, it had been initiated by a patent holding firm that Vonage bought in 2006. The end result of the settlement doesn't involve money changing hands, but just a cross licensing agreement for the patents. So what's the big lesson that Vonage and others have learned from this? It's certainly got nothing to do with innovating. It's to hoard as many patents as possible so that you have your own nuclear stockpile for when someone else sues you. Want to know why the USPTO is overwhelmed? It's not because there aren't enough examiners (as some will claim) or that there aren't enough funds. It's because the way the system now works is that you are supposed to file patents on every tiny little advancement so you can use it to protect yourself against lawsuits from everyone else. That's not about innovation. It's about waste. In the meantime, since it's still open season at Vonage, who's going to be next? There are a ton of other patents in the VoIP space that can surely be used in a lawsuit, right?
