Sean Penn, in my humble opinion, is a remarkable human being. He's made the most of his life. He's lived his life in as about an uncompromising manner as I can imagine anyone possible with his celebrity status. He very well may be a dick, but I'd be willing to expose myself to his wrath and anger for just a few hours of hanging out time. The guy is well read. He's arguably the best actor walking the planet (certainly one of the very best, at any rate). He's a filmmaker. He's a writer. He's a humanitarian who puts his money everywhere he puts his mouth. He knows how to surf and skateboard. He wears cool clothes. He lives what he believes. I could care less if he's a dick.
Kid Rock? Well, let's just say I'm less of a fan, at least of his music. But in other facets, you can say he's very much like Penn. He lives his life pretty much the way he sees fit. He does what he wants, when he wants, how he wants, and with who he wants. He drinks like a fish. He likes fast cars. He wears funny hats and pulls it off impressively. Besides, I can respect anyone who holds Merle Haggard and Run DMC in the same high regard. I may not be crazy about his duets with Sheryl Crow because, well, it is Sheryl Crow (sorry ladies), but he's alright in my book. And yeah, I wouldn't mind a few hours of hanging out time, even if he is backing Romney.
Put all three of us together? Holy hell, the things I would learn. The insight I'd receive. The pointers I could use to my benefit. The alcohol we would consume. Why can't my fantasy life come true even once? Why can't the dream world meet the real world if even for a fleeting moment. Maybe it will one day. Who knows? Until then, I've got moments like this. I love living in the Internet age. It makes it possible to live all my weirdness out from behind the keyboard. Rock on, Kid Penn! Rock on!
