Kid Rock: The Messiah of White Trash Rednecks
What do you get when you combine alcohol, stupidity, the munchies and a pack of punkass wannabe rapper-rockers who think they’re bad ass dudes?
Exactly: a Kid Rock brawl at a local Waffle House in the middle of the night.
Thirty-six-year-old Kid Rock was arrested over the weekend along with five members of his entourage “after an argument with a man who entered the Waffle House escalated into a fight,” Reuters reported.
“Rock along with five members of his entourage were charged with one count of battery, which is a misdemeanor. The victim … was treated and released at a local hospital for his injuries,” Mekka Parish, spokeswoman for DeKalb County police, said.
The Waffle House pressed charges against the man involved in the fight with Rock’s entourage after a window was punched out during the fight, which started inside but ended in the parking lot, Parish said.
She said Rock had given a concert in Atlanta earlier in the evening and left the scene on his tour bus after the fight. He was stopped and arrested about a mile down the road, Parish said.
He was released on bond.
The guy’s got the No. 1 record in the country and he’s fighting in a Waffle House with strangers.
You know, they say you can’t take “da hood” out of the rappers and this may be true. But we’ll say this: You definitely cannot take the white trash out of the red neck—Rock proves this time and again.

Not a big fan of Kid Rock, but in fairness to him, from the article I read it seems like the other guy started it.
October 24th, 2007 at 12:29 pm
Omg–lol at the first two paragraphs!!
October 24th, 2007 at 12:37 pm
I like Kid Rock’s music, and it does sound like the other guy started the argument which led to the brawl.
Do we know what the argument was about? Everybody wants a piece of a superstar.
October 24th, 2007 at 1:48 pm
Dang, if I’d had a pecan waffle craving that night, I might have seen the show. I heard he was in Atlanta for a concert, doesn’t surprise me, the company you keep…….
October 24th, 2007 at 2:23 pm
Lol F.S.
I love this photo…it’s always nice to see a rocker smile.
October 24th, 2007 at 2:26 pm
C’mon, Gregg. Tell us the truth. Kid is really Stella “Doesn’t have to take the cigarette out of her mouth when telling the State Trooper to kiss her butt” Nickell’s illegitimate son, isn’t he? You can tell us.
October 24th, 2007 at 2:33 pm
Rae,
ROFL!!!!

LOL!!!! You guys are too funny!!
October 25th, 2007 at 2:21 am
Kid has talent in the music world. But when it comes to stuff like this, I don’t care who started what. A real man would have walked away!
But we are talking about ‘Kid’ here aren’t we.
October 25th, 2007 at 4:55 am
Not ALL your sales. I’ll buy one.
October 25th, 2007 at 5:13 am
Personally, I’ve never understood why women seem to be attracted to this scrawny wife-beater- wearin’ dude.
October 25th, 2007 at 6:41 am
I was thinking that too. What the heck man. All that money and he can’t afford a decent hair cut or beard trim?
Even if he was not at fault he never should have driven away. It would have faired better for him.
October 25th, 2007 at 7:18 am
I THINK the fight started because the man said something to a girl that was with the group, apparently, he knew her. And for the record, Kid grew up in a nice, wealthy suburb. But we all know that makes no difference, when it comes to white trash.
October 25th, 2007 at 7:30 am
Yes, and Larry The Cable Guy is the son of a preacher, grew up in a white bread neighborhood and attended a Christian school.
If someone plays at being white trash, then they are going to be called white trash. Larry does it onstage, Kid does it off.
October 25th, 2007 at 7:50 am
Remember when you were younger and TV guide could always be found in your home? Back in the day, I’d grab a pencil or pen and alter the picture of whomever was featured on the front cover of the TV Guide…. draw a mustache, erase the eyeballs, blacken a tooth… that sorta stuff.
Whenever I see a picture of Kid Rock, I get the urge to reach for a black felt marker and an eraser.
Is it just me?
October 25th, 2007 at 8:08 am
Actually, Kid Rock is not from the “hood”. He grew up in a nice neighborhood and I think his father owned a car dealership.
I was never a fan of Kid Rock, but happened upon a program on VH-1 about his life, and all that he went through on his road to success. I’m still not necessarily a fan of his music, although I like a couple of his songs, but I gained a lot of respect for him after watching that program.
Maybe the guy just wanted to go to Waffle House and get a bite to eat. People just bug the crap out of famous people and don’t treat them like they are human beings. They get tired of it and sometimes somebody gets their butt kicked.
October 25th, 2007 at 8:14 am
“People just bug the crap out of famous people and don’t treat them like they are human beings. They get tired of it and sometimes somebody gets their butt kicked.”
That dog won’t hunt. When was the last time you saw Tom Hanks kicking someone’s ass?
October 25th, 2007 at 8:32 am
I was just stating what sometimes happens Rae… You can bring up all the examples you want. I’m not arguing.
October 25th, 2007 at 9:17 am
“People just bug the crap out of famous people and don’t treat them like they are human beings. They get tired of it and sometimes somebody gets their butt kicked.”
Tough crackers. It goes with the territory. It’s the price paid for fame, and the need that people like Kid Rock have to be the constant center of public attention.
He’s probably got his knickers in a wad because Pammy Anderson decided that he just wasn’t man enough. I mean after Tommy Lee, who is?!! He was probably over compensating at the waffle house. Note to KR: sorry to hear about your penis…
October 25th, 2007 at 9:27 am
“When was the last time you saw Tom Hanks kicking someone’s ass?”
LOL!!
October 25th, 2007 at 9:30 am
Actually Rae–I think it was in the movie Castaway and he beat the crap out of a volleyball.
But nothing involving a waffle house.
October 25th, 2007 at 9:46 am
Now y’all have got me thinking I’d LOVE to see Tom Hanks kick Kid Rock’s ass!
And you know he could!!
October 25th, 2007 at 9:47 am
Ewww, he’s just so icky! My favorite radio talk show hosts were talking about him the other day. They were listing people that you can tell stink just by looking at them. If I recall, they said he stank of peed pants and sausage that had become lodged in one of your rolls for a week. They decided to just add “anyone that has ever slept with Pamela Anderson” to the stinky list.
October 25th, 2007 at 10:10 am
Unlike Tom Hanks, Kid is probably the type to secrete brass knuckles and a switchblade on his person. I would like to see Tom bitch slap Kid, though.
Pamela Anderson definitely has her stinky looking moments….like 99% of the time.
October 25th, 2007 at 5:00 pm
It didn’t help that between the show and the Waffle House was a stop at a well known Atlanta strip bar.
I think that is where the argument started.
October 25th, 2007 at 6:45 pm
You people are jerks! Don’t you have anything better to do than to talk sh** about a lyrical genius like Kid? He’s an artist who changes peoples lives. What have you ever done? Just shut up and let Kid Rock eat his f***ing waffle!!!
October 25th, 2007 at 6:51 pm
KEEP ON TOPIC.
October 25th, 2007 at 7:33 pm
He has never changed my life. How did he change yours?
Intern, this is a gossip thread, there is no topic.
October 25th, 2007 at 7:40 pm
I can honestly say that Kid Rock has never changed my life.
‘Lyrical genius?’ Snicker snicker.
October 25th, 2007 at 8:06 pm
I didnt even know he fucked Pam Anderson until today. In fact I never realized that the sex tape has made Tommy Lee a legend.
(wishing I had seen the tape now lol)
October 25th, 2007 at 8:56 pm
Hey Melissa, I really don’t think that Gregg Olsen would appreciate your comment about the sex tape. It’s just a little bit tacky.
October 25th, 2007 at 9:03 pm
Hey Snickers! The song Picture is awesome!
Livin’ my life in a slow hell
Different girl every night at the hotel
I ain’t seen the sun shine in 3 damn days
Been fuelin’ up on cocaine and whisky
Wish I had a good girl to miss me
Lord I wonder if I’ll ever change my ways
I put your picture away
Sat down and cried today
I can’t look at you while I’m lyin’ next to her
I put your picture away, sat down and cried today
I can’t look at you, while I’m lyin next to her
October 25th, 2007 at 9:07 pm
Oh brother. Gregg did call your lyrical genius the messiah. You’ve gotta be at least a little happy about that. (speaking to M&K)
October 25th, 2007 at 9:25 pm
True that celebs chose the life in the lime light, but if it were you, wouldn’t you want a break once in awhile. Were all human, everybody makes mistakes.
It’s not a fair comparison between Kid Rock and Tom Hanks. One’s an actor and the other one is a musician. Different sides of the entertainment fence.
October 26th, 2007 at 2:20 am
Yes and one is a respectable human being and one isn’t. The truth hurts doesn’t it kr.
October 26th, 2007 at 5:28 am
“True that celebs chose the life in the lime light, but if it were you, wouldn’t you want a break once in awhile.”
Yeah. Getting into a slugfest. That’s the way to avoid publicity and attention.
“It’s not a fair comparison between Kid Rock and Tom Hanks. One’s an actor and the other one is a musician. Different sides of the entertainment fence. ”
So what? We were talking about how fans can intrude when a celebrity is in public, not about the work of the celebrity. Fame is fame, Kristina.
(A, I don’t blame Tom. That was one rude volleyball. Did nothing but give Tom the silent treatment.)
October 26th, 2007 at 6:41 am
Oh, now you are all talking about Wilson (the volleyball), without taking into consideration all the stress it had been through before it landed on the island after floating for no telling how long in a dark, lonely box, only to be discovered by the castaway and made his compainion. I mean… think about the stress! Poor ball.
Maybe if Kid Rock had a ball like Wilson he wouldn’t take his frustrations out on drunk Waffle House patrons.
As for the “truth” as to where somebody is a respectable human being or not, who really cares? This subject obviously has some entertainment value or we would not be talking about it. But when I stop and really think about it, it seems to me that we really shouldn’t give a flying frack.
October 26th, 2007 at 6:53 am
M&K, although I do not find those lyrics to be profound, I admit that I really do like his duet of that song with Sheryl Crow.
October 26th, 2007 at 6:58 am
Now here’s some profound lyrics from the genius…and more in line with the theme of this thread:
“Born 2 Be A Hick”
See I was born a little pie-eyed mother******
Mamma she left me and my pappa was a hard trucker
Out on the highway we loved to roll
He never made me go to school
I never begged to go
I was a low class livin raised out in the sticks
I was born to be a hick
See I love to spend my days just a squirrel huntin
Go see my cousin Ellie May and get some good lovin
Kissin and huggin on some distant lands
People always tell me I’m a twisted man
Jim Beam in my hand boones kegged in shit
And I was born to be a hick
Ohhh I was born to be a hick
See I love to spend my days just a squirrel hunter
Go see my cousin Ellie May and get some good lovin
Kissin and huggin on some distant lands
People always tell me I’m a twisted man
Jim Beam in my hand boones kegged in shit
And I was born to be a hick
See I was born to be a hick man
Yeah I was born to be a hick man
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m a shotgun tokin
I’m a John Deere drivin
I’m a hick
Ah har
October 26th, 2007 at 7:33 am
perfect EM! I can see why he’s a lyrical genius, lol.
October 26th, 2007 at 7:57 am
I admit liking Picture as well. I didnt even know it was him however
October 26th, 2007 at 8:00 am
He didn’t grow up as a hick or in the hood, but he has sure found a way to get the hick’s money in HIS pockets. That is the market he has chosen to appeal to. The fighting at Waffle House may just be part of his marketing plan. LOL
October 26th, 2007 at 9:29 am
Melissa, you really need to get out more. Or read TMZ.
October 26th, 2007 at 10:18 am
Apparently.
October 26th, 2007 at 1:23 pm
Time to get real with you all and admit not only do I love Kid Rock,I’ve met and partied with him.
He ain’t strait outta Compton ,He’s strait out the trailer.
Still,I stopped getting in fights at the Waffle House when I was 16.
October 26th, 2007 at 4:54 pm
He has the number one record?
man i must live under a rock!! LOL
whoopsie, wouldnt no-how wannna be caught under that rock…yuck!
October 26th, 2007 at 5:31 pm
Michelle, don’t feel like the Lone Ranger. I didn’t know he had the number 1 song either. I’ve been too busy listening to Neil Young’s new CD to listen to anybody else, though.
October 26th, 2007 at 5:38 pm
Hell, I didnt even know the song I like was his, nor did I know about him and Pam Anderson. I am under the rock lol.
October 26th, 2007 at 5:40 pm
Also, is it just me, but does this guy look like an unwashed (which is often) Brad Pitt in a way?
Imagine Brad after giving a concert, hair dirty, etc. He aint all that bad. Just looks dirty.
October 26th, 2007 at 9:34 pm
I don’t think Kid Rock or Tom Hanks really care about being in the headlines. Both are very talented.
Lindsay Lohan said in an interview.. “As much as the tabloids trash you, you want to be in them.” As crazy as it sounds.
Yeah, fame is fame.
October 26th, 2007 at 11:02 pm
“Also, is it just me, but does this guy look like an unwashed (which is often) Brad Pitt in a way?”
Ewww… No way! Brad Pitt’s hot!! I’d do Brad Pitt! But with Kid Rock, I couldn’t get drunk enough to even begin to want to hit that!!
October 27th, 2007 at 8:06 am
LOL Michelle! Waking up next to Kid Rock would be a girl’s worst nightmare.
October 27th, 2007 at 9:46 am
“I don’t think Kid Rock or Tom Hanks really care about being in the headlines. Both are very talented.”
Uh-huh. I’m sure, if the tabloids stopped paying attention to Kid Rock tomorrow, he would do absolutely nothing to draw press attention back to himself. Not.
Tom Hanks, for the most part, isn’t in the headlines…and why? Because he chooses to live his life offscreen quietly, privately, and with class. Kid Rock is another story altogether.
And whether they are talented or not has nothing to do with garnering press/public attention.
October 27th, 2007 at 10:40 am
Kid Rock would get you drunk enough,Michelle!!
He’s really a funny person and I like his new CD.
BUT like I said,I stopped getting in fist fights in high school.That kind of thing is just idiotic.
October 27th, 2007 at 5:56 pm
I’m not exactly a fan of Kid Rock but what is up with calling people white trash and rednecks. What are you? I know, just a damn Yankee.
October 27th, 2007 at 5:56 pm
annarocket Says:
Kid Rock would get you drunk enough,Michelle!!
Nope. Could never happen. Even drunk there are just some things I won’t do, and he’d be one of them…
October 27th, 2007 at 6:04 pm
SuzieQ – As Jeff Fozworthy so succinctly says, Rednecks are everywhere. I myself am a Yankee, and driving up to NY State today to my niece and nephews 6th birthday party, I decided to take the backroads instead of highways, to take in what there is a fall foliage (not much yet, bummer) and passing the houses with cars parked and appliances in the front yard, made me giggle and actually think of Foxworthy. The funny part about it is these houses probably fetch about $400,000.
October 27th, 2007 at 6:07 pm
And Michelle, he aint that bad when he is clean
http://msnbcmedia2.msn.com/j/ap/b63cda3f-df35-4d9a-84ed-14a32e1db6dc.widec.jpg
Take the facial hair off and he would be pretty darn good looking, nice eyes.
