Kid Rock's "Born Free" Video Features Part of U.P.

THIS IS A SPECIAL UPPER PENINSULA BLOG POSTING

It was about a month ago when Kid Rock made a visit to the Upper Peninsula to film a majority of the video for his latest single "Born Free." The filming took place within Alger County, specifically along the Lake Superior shore and at Pictured Rocks. As you watch the video, you'll see views of Miner's Castle, Miner's Beach, Murray's Bar on Grand Island, the Sand Bar with the flag at Sand Point, and the shots of Kid Rock riding a motorcycle are along H-58 between Munising and Grand Marais. Also the shots in the field are from near Chatham. I grew up within Alger County so to see something like this is pretty awesome. I know that Kid Rock loves the state of Michigan (he grew up near Detroit), so it's especially nice to see him showcase the U.P. I know when news broke last month about Kid Rock's short arrival to Alger County to film the video of "Born Free," it was a big deal. And as you can see, we all know why.

(Correction: The field scenes featured in the video were apparently shot somewhere downstate and not in the Upper Peninsula.)

Kid Rock has done well for himself. If he can, anyone can. B.
