Kid Rock Arrested – Nation Yawns, Scratches Self, Changes Channel
By Manolo the Shoeblogger
Manolo says, once again, America’s dimmest rock star, Kid Rock, has had the brush with the law.
Police said Ritchie [Kid Rock] 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, Harlem 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.
Few phrases in the English language are as indicative of the depressing condition of modern pop culture as the words “Kid Rock and his entourage at the Waffle House”.

I think all you need to see are these words:
Kid Rock
Waffle House
Harlem DeJon Akins
Twisted Brown Trucker
Buford
You can pretty much fill in the rest yourself.

What self respecting redneck would not throw down and defend his honor in the presence of skanks at the Waffle House? This is so white trash but great media exposure for Kid Rock. He has a new album to pimp and news like this reinforces his “badass” monicker among his fans.

Yes, not just any Waffle House, but the Waffle House on Buford Highway. It all flows from there, doesn’t it?
Though I do miss Waffle House – don’t have them here in Canada. Tim Horton’s just isn’t the same. (Well, I mean, it’s donuts for one, and no waffles for two . . .)
