Kid Rock Arrested in Atlanta

Kid Rock, a.k.a. Robert James Ritchie, was arrested early Sunday morning after a fight broke out between a Waffle House patron, Ritchie, and memeber’s of Kid’s entourage. AJC.com reports:
Saturday night, he rocked a sold-out Tabernacle at a show supporting “Rock N Roll Jesus,” currently the No. 1 album in the country and the first chart-topper of his 17-year career.
Wait- Kid Rock has the #1 album in the country? That just makes me glad I don’t listen to radio anymore.
A few hours later, Kid Rock, who calls his genre-bending blend of country, rap and southern rock “hick-Hop,” was arrested after police said he and his entourage beat up a customer — at a local Waffle House.
Ugh, ‘hick-hop’, really? That’s a genre we can all do without. The rest of the story goes: Ritchie and his crew went to Waffle House on Buford Highway in the wee hours Sunday, where a male patron recognized one of the females in Kid’s crew, and the head hick decided to throw down on the guy, call him. After that, five other guys in the entourage decided to go ahead and get scattered, smothered, or covered with him. After the fight, they apparently though it would be a good idea to leave, so they got on the bus and drove away- only to be pulled over moments later and booked for battery.
The “other guy” threw a punch through a window, costing more that $500, so he got booked for felony criminal damage to property, and will have a world of hurt waiting for him on that.
