# 82 Good thing they cancelled Kid Rock.

Man, they might have gotten profanity if they had Kid Rock perform. Good thing they went with wholesome groups, eh? And there's still more to come, since the inauguration isn't until Thursday.

Singer Curses at Inaugural Youth Concert

WASHINGTON (AP) - You might say the Janet Jackson moment of President Bush's inaugural festivities came Tuesday at a youth concert with hundreds of preteen Hilary Duff fans in the audience.

No nudity was involved, but the Vince Neil-style profanity probably didn't win rock band Fuel any fans at the Federal Communications Commission, nor from the parents at the concert.

Now the Pennsylvania band is just hoping the concert, "America's Future Rocks Today," wasn't aired live.

Borrowing a word from Motley Crue's Neil, the lead singer of Fuel proclaimed, "Welcome to the greatest ----ing country in the world."

Brett Scallions followed with a quick apology of "excuse my language."
