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.

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.

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.

Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, was charged with simple battery, as were five other men who were with him.

The 36-year-old rocker was released from DeKalb County Jail on Sunday afternoon after posting a $1,000 bond on the misdemeanor charge.

    ...with the wonderment of Waffle House, it's a chain, mostly through the south, of all-night eateries, serving breakfast all day, but also offering t-bone steaks, chili etc.

    Waffle House was the place to go when I was at Duke and you needed something to eat in the middle of the night. The first time I went with some friends was probably my second or third week in school, and as we were sitting at the counter, looking at the menu trying to decide what to get, I saw the woman cooking the smothered, covered, diced, and something else that I can no longer remember hash browns, smoking, and I saw some of her ashes drift down into the food... Needless to say, on the many trips I made during my four years, I never ate anything. Just sat and enjoyed the company of drunk pals.

  • uh I think the thing you guys are forgetting is that he and his ENTOURAGE beat up a single dude. that's five guys against one guy. douchebag or not, five guys against one is a pretty low act.

  • Yeah, 5 to 1 is just rude and cowardly in my opinion, and just not right.
