Kid Rock must know better than anyone that
"All Summer Long" would cross over bigtime if he'd just bounce across our TV singing it while earbud-accessorized silhouettes dance around him, but in the name of Fats Domino he must refuse. "Back in the day, we all know the stories of the Otis Reddings and Chuck Berrys and Fats Dominos who never got paid...I will be on iTunes eventually because I can't avoid it, but I like to always stick to my guns and prove a point and do something original and because I believe in it." This might help explain why the song has yet to hit the Hot 100, and has only scraped a few peripheral charts. At least he's OK with you stealing the fucker so you can sing along at shows—this way, he doesn't have to suffer the indignity of a weak royalty rate.
