Kid Rock’s hard core vision
In an interview with Kid Rock he was asked if he had ever dreamed he would make it as big as he has. His answer? “Every bleeping day.”
In the same program it showed the dingy underground recording space, Whiterooms Studios, where he worked as a janitor in trade for session time and a place to crash. Where he dreamed “every bleeping day.”
This was after he had struggled mightily, releasing records from his own basement studio, after he had suffered a number of career disappointments and all out setbacks, like being dropped by major label Jive Records. The times when he could only dream of making it big, “every bleeping day.”
Kid Rock’s undefined-genre of rap, country and rock simply didn’t make sense to the mainstream music community, and many in the so-called open-minded indie world.
But “every bleeping day” he dreamed. “Every bleeping day.”
What more do you need to know about succeeding? Vision. Sacrifice. Hard work.
A guarantee? No. But probably as simple and as focused a formula as there is; whether in business, science, medicine or in a yet-to-exist music category where success was ultimately achieved by an I’ll-wash-toilets-if-I-have-to kid who dreamed “every bleeping day.” Kid Rock.
