Just looking at this on Rolling Stone's website and thought some of you may be interested based on the thread about his new album. It'll never capture the same hungry appetite the original had, but Wasting Time is one of my faves and if they redo that right it could be huge: Kid Rockhttp://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920492,920492#msg-920492Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:32:51 +1000 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920492,920634#msg-920634 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920492,920634#msg-920634
