    1998 was a while ago... "What has he done for me lately?"

    From Wikipedia:

    "In 2007 Kid Rock released Rock N Roll Jesus, which produced a hit in "All Summer Long". It was his first worldwide smash hit, charting #1 in eight countries across Europe and Australia. Rock N Roll Jesus would go on to sell 5 million albums worldwide including being certified triple platinum in the US. He released "Born Free" on November 16, 2010.

    He has sold 22 million albums to date in the United States."

    An I thought he was just a star in "Joe Dirt" (pretty much just playing himself.)

    Yeah, love him or hate him--he's officially a major rock star.

    I watched my DVR'd episode last night.

    I thoroughly enjoyed it. The guys are definately getting more comfortable even though there are still a few obvious moments where they are trying to stick to something scripted, the guest interviews are proabably the most repeated occurence of this.

    I thought the Raptor and SLS tests/reviews were good and while no one is clearly just bashing on a car yet, at least they are beginning to point out things that they don't like. I think as the have more seat time in more cars, there will be a broader basis for comparison when picking apart what they like and what they dont.

    It sucked, because they didn't tell me how to make my Mustang or truck sound like that Raptor!

    I am still disappointed that the Boss Seca didn't get Stig-Flogged in episode 3....

    I enjoyed this show too. I found myself laughing at many of the bits.

    To me, the biggest weakness is the new car reviews. Seems like they're mostly just reading scripts and so are giving relatively dull buyer advice on cars I'll never buy. I enjoy the TGUK car reviews because they manage to make them absurd and dramatic. The TGUS presenters have yet to master the level of melodramatic presentation that Clarkson has.

    I know they won't be Clarkson, but they're delivery is way flatter than even May's. I want glee, ire, and absurdity.

    Fortunately, I think they can develop that as they go along.
