 Okay now if that live clip didn’t get you interested then
perhaps I’ll have to walk you through it.
Hey I was a skeptic until this past month. Stacey and I had a near brush with the Kid
prior to his arrest in Atlanta. Then we downloaded
his new CD and I have to say that this perhaps the finest American rock n
roll album in the last 10 years. No
disrespect to Bruce or John Cougar Mellonballs or even Mr. Petty but Kid
Rock’s new CD blows them all away and leaves huge crater behind. Now this disk is not for the kids but
adults should find that this is sure to become a guilty pleasure. My love of Rock N Roll Jesus made me
dig a little deeper and try to find out more than the headlines. His biography is a story of a guy who just
never gave up. He endured the ridicule
of the press and the fickleness of record labels and stayed true to his brand
of music. Even if you can’t appreciate
the way he has taken almost every form of American music and thrown into a
blender to create something both familiar and unique then you have to respect
his determination. You should
defiantly check out his bio on his website
http://www.kidrock.com/bio.php.
The next chapter begins with a desire to see him live,
yes actually see him in concert and of course this weekend he is appearing at
the Fillmore in San Francisco. The
concert has been sold out for weeks so we headed to Craigslist and located 2
tickets for double face value. A quick
drive to Mission Street and within minutes we had the tickets in our
hands. We’ll follow up with a review
of the show shortly…

Kid Rock Says He's Not a Troublemaker
1 day ago
NEW YORK (AP) —
Kid Rock isn't one to back down from a fight, but says he doesn't go looking
for trouble.
"Last
thing I want is to have a reputation. I believe in standing up for things I
believe in," the 36-year-old rock-rapper told Ellen DeGeneres on her
syndicated talk show Thursday. "Being honest sometimes gets me in a
little bit of trouble."
Kid Rock — who
quarreled with Tommy Lee at MTV's Video Music Awards last month — was
arrested early Sunday after a brawl at a Waffle House restaurant in Atlanta.
"It
started with me celebrating a great show that night. We were hungry. It was
late at night," he told DeGeneres.
"I know
the people work hard at Waffle House so I tipped people behind the counter
and gave $300 to split up. Bought everyone breakfast in there," he said.
"We had a good time. This one kid just started talking. ... And then one
thing led to another, windows were breaking, cussing and fussing ... the mud,
the blood and the beer."
Kid Rock
explained: "He said, `I hope you get mad, I'll sue the hell out of you.'
I'm like, `Take a number.'"
Mekka Parish, a
spokeswoman for the DeKalb County Police Department, said the fight between
Kid Rock and a male customer moved outside to the parking lot, and at some
point, the customer punched out a restaurant window.
Kid Rock and
five members of his entourage were taken into custody on a misdemeanor charge
of simple battery. He was released from the county jail on bond Sunday
afternoon, Parish said.
Much more to
come...
More Kid Rock fun...
