Kid Rock

You got a real name? Kurt McCourt

How bout a newsie nickname? Kid Rock

What's day story behind dat nickname? I been called "kid" more times then need be mentioned, and I like to "rock." Ah, who am I kidding? I stole the nickname from the rapper.

What do you's look like? 5'5" and I'm 16 (I hate being short), I got dark red hair and brown eyes. I'm too scrawny for my own good and I've got a few freckles.

How's ya personality? Somewhat quiet, opinionated though. Just picture your typical year 2000 guy from Long Island.

What about ya past? Well, see, I wasn't born in this century really. I was born in 1985, actually. And I was living in 2000 when I kinda got kicked back in time to here. So, by chance I joined the newsies and here I've been ever since.

You got a goil? Well, for a while I thought me and Blues, down in Brooklyn, would get together but that fell through, what with her and Fingers, so I'm all on my lonesome now.

How bout a best friend? Yeah, Weezer down in Lower Manhatten is a good friend a' mine. We got a lot in common, since he's kind of in the same... er... time travelling circumstance as I'm in.

Any distinguishing features, habits, or hobbies? No features, but 'sides Weezer I'm sure I got the only discman and CD's in 1899, so that's special. No real habits, except maybe that I quote songs a lot, and no real hobbies.
