The musician, whose real name is, Robert James Ritchie, spoke to The Guardian about a variety of subjects, including his views on drug policy.   <!--more-->  <br \/> He admitted to not smoking weed very often as it &#8220;makes me dumb&#8221; but  went on to explain that he thinks &#8220;they should legalise and tax  everything: pot, cocaine, heroin.&#8221; &#8220;Has it not been proven that people  will always find a way to get what they want?&#8221; he reasoned. <\/p>\n<p> Elsewhere, he discussed technology, explaining that he doesn&#8217;t  &#8220;FaceTweet or whatever people do&#8221;. &#8220;I turn on my computer and look at  porn a little bit, see what\u2019s going on in the news, but that&#8217;s about  it,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<p> He also spoke about performing at the Obama inauguration in 2008, &#8220;even  though I didn&#8217;t vote for him.&#8221; Ritchie described playing the gig as  &#8220;having an exciting sense of change in the air&#8221; before clarifying his  political views. &#8220;That promise hasn\u2019t been fulfilled \u2013 the country is  more divided than ever. I am definitely a Republican on fiscal issues  and the military, but I lean to the middle on social issues.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I am no fan of abortion,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;But it&#8217;s not up to a man to  tell a woman what to do. As an ordained minister I don&#8217;t look forward to  marrying gay people, but I&#8217;m not opposed to it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: NME<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kid Rock thinks &#8220;everything&#8221; should be legalised and taxed, according to a new interview with&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4884"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4884\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
