Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast
I'm not sure it made national news (though I think it did because it was in the national news section of Nashville's paper), but our favorite retro rapper, Kid Rock, was arrested early this morning just down the street from me. You can read a "Genuine Article" here.
Just a couple of things I need to know:
1. Why was Kid Rock at the cabaret anyway?
2. What is Kid Rock doing in Nashville at all? I realize Nashy is the home of country music and Christian music, but somehow rap doesn't fit into the picture. **update--I actually read the article I linked to more closely and got my question answered, but it just raised another question: Kid Rock's actually in town to sing at Merle Kilgore's funeral. Kilgore is a country singer...And knowing that bit of info makes me wonder why anyone would request for Kid Rock to sing at their funeral!)** And I don't wanna "Cramp Ya Style," Kid Rock, but "New York's Not Ya Home" and neither is Nashville.
3. Why is the cabaret in this story just a few steps down from a rescue mission? Just what those homeless men trying to better themselves need--an opportunity to visit a strip joint while they are receiving help from a Christian organization.
I go by this particular cabaret (and three other "gentlemen's clubs") every day on my way to school--it's between the public housing projects and the First Baptist Church. I would never even consider going inside one, but I also didn't realize famous people went there either. If I would've known Kid Rock was gonna be there and assault someone, I might have hovered across the street to see it in person...
And I'm very sorry if you actually caught the Kid Rock references in the post title and body. I couldn't help myself. I remember Kid Rock in his early days, when rap first came out. Don't get me wrong--they're not fond memories. But they're memories. *sigh* Makes me feel old.

I don't think Kid Rock is a rapper. His style takes rap, rock and country and meshes them. This is what his song "Forever" is about. But personally I like him better as a country singer and I only like 3 songs of his. Only God Knows Why, Lonely road of faith and Picture.
Anyway, it's nice to see someone else out here in the blogosphere that shares an interest in Kid Rock.
