Kid Rock arrested in DeKalb after fight at Waffle House
While promoting his latest CD, Kid Rock vowed he was putting his days of made-for-the-tabloid antics behind him. The man from Michigan says he wants to be known for his music, not as a gossip-column item.

This weekend in Atlanta, Kid Rock managed to do both.

Saturday night, he rocked a sold-out Tabernacle at a show supporting "Rock N Roll Jesus," currently the No. 1 album in the country and the first chart-topper of his 17-year career.

A few hours later, Kid Rock, who calls his genre-bending blend of country, rap and southern rock "hick-Hop," was arrested after police said he and his entourage beat up a customer — at a local Waffle House.

The sum of his career should have him working at a Waffle House.

5. As a Michiganian, let me apologize again on behalf of our blue-voting state, ....
for the politics, appearance, idiocy and music of detritus like Kid Rock and Ted Nugent. We can't do everything right. :hide:

6. KR does remind me of the Nuge.
I didn't realize they were both from Michigan, though.

10. Lotta big names from Michigan.... maybe it's the long winters. :)
Alice Cooper, El Debarge, Eminem, Glenn Frey, Kid Rock, Madonna, Jason Newsted (of Metallica), Ted Nugent, Diana Ross, Bob Seger, Del Shannon, Uncle Kracker, Stevie Wonder, and......

MOTOWN! :)



(I found all of those names here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Michigan_musicians )

16. Wow, I like almost all of those folks!
Except the Terrible Two, of course.

20. Nuge and the religious right used to hate each other
It's funny how things change. In the 70s, when Nugent would play Grand Rapids, the fundies would protest outside his concert, holding up signs and such, about what a pig Ted was (I guess "Wango Tango" was too much for their clean, dutch hearts). On one occasion, Ted ripped one of their signs and threw it in the Grand River (the concert venue used to be the old Welsh Auditorium, which I assume is long gone).

12. Yeah, but I'd say actor Jeff Daniels is a great ambassador
I hear his public service announcements for business opportunities in Michigan all the time on XM.

Kudos to Mr. Daniels for not forgetting his roots.

7. "working at a Waffle House" is demanding with low wages but an admirable service to working class
Edited on Mon Oct-22-07 07:25 AM by jody
Americans.

Please don't demean Waffle House just because some celebrity a**hole got into a fight at one.

13. I like Waffle House....
I don't know if I can say the same about Kid Rock, though.

9. I don't know about that. He probably doesn't inspire much admiration here though.
He embodies the loud, obnoxious bully culture, in both his professional and personal life.

He makes a lot of money, all with having no particular artistic talent.

:shrug: MKJ

11. If "Behind the Music" is to be believed....
... he DID work his ass off for a long time to get there, though. He played the "starving artist" for many years before he got a break. (Doesn't make him any more talented, of course.) :)

17. See Kid Rock in context at the Dekalb County Mugshot site.
Edited on Mon Oct-22-07 11:18 AM by onehandle
It's the same mugshot, but in context, you can see where he belongs.

(No, I'm not attacking the down and out, just a useless tool.)

19. She's too "classy" for him. He needs to aim lower.
Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears are just as un-talented as him and come from the same pool of white trash.

The tool should make some calls.

22. Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy

Kid is pure DU. ;)

And this is for the questions that don't have any answers
The midnight glancers and the topless dancers
The candid freaks, cars packed with speakers
The G's with the forties and the chicks with beepers
The Northern Lights and the Southern Comfort
And it don't even matter if the veins are punctured
All the crackheads, the critics, the cynics
And all my heros in the Methodone Clinic
All you bastards at the IRS
For the crooked cops and the cluttered desks
For the shots of jack and the caps of meth
Half pints of love and the fifths of stress
For the hookers all tricking out in Hollywood
And for my hoods of the world misunderstood
I said it's all good and it's all in fun
Now get in the pit and try to love someone
