Robert Ritchie--a.k.a. Kid Rock--is a national treasure. Kid's been around half of forever, but he hit the big time in 1999 when Devil Without A Cause was released: it went on to sell more than 11 million copies.

Kid's music is an intriguing blend of Motor City brashness, country down-homeness and hard rock, and he's managed to carve out a weird niche for himself. His image was only amped by his recent relationship with Pamela Anderson, which ended after three months of marriage--because of, Anderson claimed, his "male insecurities."

So there you have it. With summer just around the corner, though, we thought it unusually apt to bring Kid into the Framed forum with his video for "All Summer Long," off his latest album, Rock ‘n' Roll Jesus. We're sure that, like us, you'll delight in Kid Rock's romp through northern Michigan's pristine lakes and beaches. It recalls an earlier, more innocent time that we'd all like to believe really existed, but was, in fact, a chimera.

Enjoy!
