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.

Police said Ritchie was finishing up a post-show meal at a Waffle House on Buford Highway about 5:15 a.m. Sunday when a customer recognized a woman in his entourage and began exchanging words with her.

Ritchie joined in the altercation, which soon escalated into a physical fight between the rocker and the man, Harlen DeJon Akins, 39.

Soon, five other men in his entourage — including the guitarist and the bass player in his band, Twisted Brown Trucker — jumped into the fray, and the fight spilled from inside the restaurant into the parking lot, said police spokeswoman Mekka Parish.

When the brawl ended, Ritchie and his group got into their tour bus and left the scene. An officer pulled the bus over at Buford Highway and Lenox Road, and all five men were booked into jail on the misdemeanor battery charge.

It's also (prepare yourself, k?) the Number 1 CD in the nation today.

[redqueen]

22. "Number 1 CD in the nation today"

4. Fat, greasy,

white trash Appalachian-American Jesus, maybe.

[Sugar Smack]

6. Is he a * supporter?

Didn't he play a tune or two for him & Condi?

[flvegan]

7. Huge Bushbot, yes

New York Daily News gossip columnist Lloyd Grover reported on Kid Rock's support for Bush last July. According to the columnist, the rapper was arguing with hip-hop and fashion mogul Russell Simmons and others outside a movie theater about whether or not to see Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11."

"I don't want to see that, it's all propaganda," the rock star said – sparking a prolonged political debate right there on the sidewalk.

"Russell, don't you understand, everything we got in this country, we got from fighting," Kid Rock argued, according to Simmons' account. "It's just a movie. ... I'd rather go to the bar across the street."

Kid Rock refused to see the movie and said goodbye. The others bought tickets and went into the theater.

A couple of hours later, Simmons returned to his parked car. On his windshield was a scribbled note:

"Vote Bush. Bush Rocks," apparently written by Kid Rock himself.

10. That's it. I'm going to have a drink, and I'm going back to bed.

:freak:

[LeftyMom]

11. "Vote Bush. Bush Rocks"

Who can argue with logic like that?

:rofl:

9. He played at the concert hosted by the Busch Twins for the 2nd inauguration

I think one of the Duff girls played and a few other no-names for a concert on 2005 Inauguration that was hosted by the Busch Twins and played to a half-filled arena in DC.

I'm not sure if the lack of interest was due to the fact it was a Bush related event or the concert line-up sucked ass

[Sugar Smack]

13. Heh heh! Add Celine Dion to the mix.

Or don't. Is she a republican, too? She sings like one, but I wouldn't want to be unfair.:D

[Sugar Smack]

18. Celine's a FREAKIN DEMOCRAT!

VOTE, babe. Quit yer day job and VOTE!!! :loveya:

12. Have they arrested the pit bull who owns him yet?

Shame on that bloodthirsty dog for breeding and fighting that man.

[flvegan]

15. It appears that he's his own dog.

"I'm A Dog" (the worst lyrics I've ever seen in my life)

See me ride across the country with my shotty ridin' shotgun
Got slimmys on my jimmy with magnums rockin' platinum
Wig's dig this, the fuckin' police know I see 'em
So I'm headin' up to Reno like a geo and I'll great 'em
Free my mind of lifes inconsistencies
You got a lot but yo you can't get these
Free my mind of lifes inconsistencies
I had enough and you can swing on these

Cause I'ma dog baby
See me ride across the country
I'ma dog bitch
Big suitcase full of money
I'ma dog mamma
And I'm rollin' El Camino
I'ma D-D-D dog

Drop top continental with a suicide see me ride
You by my side big girl, yo we will never die
I'll be your Hollywood eyes and send you swingin' baby
Bring it home to pappa and Rock gonna make it jingle baby
It's a God damn shame people they look at me
But I know in the end you givea fuck about me
And that's the reason I spit fire
That's the reason I'ma set your ass on fire, fire
I shoulda never left the bottle
And if they want the truth then tell them bitches i shot 'em

I'ma dog baby
See me ride across the country
I'ma dog bitch
Big suitcase full of money
I'ma dog mamma
And I'm rollin' El Camino
I'ma D-D-D dog
Yeahhhhhhhhh

16. With distemper.

Put him down. It's the only humane thing to do.

[HughBeaumont]

14. Astonishing.

All of it.

Those concerts must be a hoot. That single brain must be hard to pass around between 10 thousand people.

[SacredCow]

17. A pile-up at the Waffle House.....

How DELICIOUSLY trashy....

Sounds like something that would happen after a Dogpatch junior high school football game....

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. Mmmm. Waffle House.

Waffles.... (drooling).

20. See Kid Rock in context at the Dekalb County Mugshot site.

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.)
