NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Kid Rock was arrested Wednesday by Nashville police who are investigating a report that he punched a disc jockey at an adult entertainment club.
Kid Rock was brought before Night Court Commissioner Howard Taradash early Wednesday morning. He is charged with simple assault, a misdemeanor. Taradash set bond at $3,000 and the rapper remained in custody until bail could be posted.
Authorities said Kid Rock was charged after a 3 a.m. altercation at Christie's Cabaret near downtown Nashville.
"Inside the establishment there was a squabble concerning, I guess, the selection of music," Nashville police Sgt. James Smith told reporters. "Again there are no major injuries but an assault did take place."
Television footage from outside the club showed the DJ, identified as Jay Campos, with a red mark on his face and holding his broken eyeglasses.
Kid Rock was among the entertainers who sang at a Tuesday memorial service at Ryman Auditorium for songwriter and promoter Merle Kilgore. The 34-year-old rapper, who has performed with several Nashville music figures including Hank Williams Jr., strummed a guitar and sang "I Saw the Light."
Born Bob Ritchie, Kid Rock was a Detroit-area hip-hop DJ when he broke through with 1998's "Devil Without a Cause," which successfully married hard rock beats with rap lyrics.
Yes, that's what America needs more of, local tyrants locking up American citizens who have committed no crime.
My clock and calendar must be off
You can't use any money on you for bond.
careful, some freepers love kid rock. (bush almost kinda invited him to a party once)
Is it just me, or do all of them have the exact same voice?
"That was Liberty up on the main stage, give her a hand gentlemen. Up next, Candy. Candy, Candy to the main stage. Don't forget to tip your waitresses."
I have a polo shirt with small American flags all over it. At least a representation of the flag with about 30 stars instead of fifty so it's not really the flag. I'm still waiting for the first complaint about it. I've had it about 3 years now, so far no takers. I've already got an answer prepared for the first person says something. It entails my Dad, his brothers, myself and my sons and many friends who have served under it, not to mention many friends who have been wounded and died under it. If anyone thinks I'm disrespecting the flag they've got another think coming.
And then Candy doesn't make it to the main stage until halfway through the song because she was finishing up her last lap dance...
Is it just me, or do all of them have the exact same voice?
The same voice and an indestructable copy of Girls, Girls, Girls by Motley Crue.
I am distantly related to Earl Flatt...and my husband is connected to a bunch of the Scruggs, so we make jokes about why we like bluegrass so much...
Great post. you are dead on accurate about Kid Rock and the state of music and entertainment today.
He is the only popular artist that I can think of off the top of my head, that is very vocal about his support of this president, this country, and its troops.
It was not an indefinate period of time, Being liberal is enough of a crime for me to be locked up for two days and told to go home.
It's about time somebody stood up and complained about the overuse of lame eighties glam rock in our nation's titty bars. The revolution has begun.
One of my rules is that if I'm listening to Journey or Foreigner, there better be strippers around.
Owl_EagleGuns Before Butter.
You went and entertained our troops so I say, "Give 'em hell, Kid Rock!"
You want to hear a travesty? Even though DC allows fully-nude strip clubs, there's no lap dances allowed. What the hell is that? I blame politicians' wives.
I think there's just one guy sitting in a studio somewhere whose voice gets transmitted to every strip club in the nation. The same song is playing in every strip club at the same time.
Think about it. There's no way you'd know.
I've never been to a strip bar, much less at 3am, so thanks for the tip.
Is it a "dry" or "juice" bar?
Around here, the only fully-nude strip clubs can't serve alcohol, but they charge you a retarded cover and a 2-drink-minumum for like $8 glass of OJ.
But who the hell goes to strip clubs in Upstate NY anyways? Toronto and Montreal have the best strip clubs in a 4 hour radius ANYways, and especially in Montreal, those girls are dirty and will do ANYTHING.
Not that I know that from personal experience or whatever...
And some people accuse Freepers of being fascists.....
Really?
He was arrested at 3 AM this morning.
