Rock The House

There are two things that Kid Rock loves to do at the Waffle House ... kick ass (allegedly literally) and greet his fans ... yesterday, Kid did the latter (since he already did the former earlier this year). Here are a few pics of Kid Rock pressing the flesh with a horde of his fans at a Waffle House in Georgia at an event that raised money for Nicholas House, a homeless shelter for families in DeKalb County, GA:

Kid Rock caused another scene at a Waffle House — this time, for charity. The entertainer came to sign autographs for hundreds of fans during a fundraiser at the suburban Atlanta eatery. The event came just a week after Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, pleaded not guilty to a charge of battery from a fight last fall at another Waffle House. Waffle House spokeswoman Kelly Thrasher said the Atlanta-based company wanted to "take a negative situation and turn it into a positive situation." Proceeds were to go to Nicholas House, a homeless shelter for families in DeKalb County, where the 37-year-old entertainer was arrested last October following a fight with a customer. Ritchie was scheduled to serve food to Waffle House customers Tuesday but changed plans when he realized he would only have time to sign autographs before his concert scheduled for later in the evening at nearby Gwinnett Arena. Ritchie said he wanted to make up for the fight. "The whole situation before was kind of silly," he said as he signed autographs for fans. "We just thought after that unfortunate incident we'd try to do something silly but something more positive." With posters, CDs, guitars and hats in hand, the line of Kid Rock fans snaked around the building for hours waiting for an autograph and photo with the hick-hop star ... Police say Ritchie's tour bus had stopped at another area Waffle House on Oct. 21 after a performance in downtown Atlanta; an exchange of words with a customer escalated into a fight that spilled from the restaurant out into the parking lot. Officers took Ritchie and five members of his entourage into custody about a mile down the road after the group left the Waffle House.

You know, deep down, Kid Rock is a good ol' boy. He comes from Detroit, MI area so I know he ain't a bad dude. Despite the fact that Kid Rock plead not guilty to the charges brought against him for the alleged fight at another Atlanta area Waffle House, it's pretty cool that he would come back to town to try and, as he said, turn something "silly" into something positive. He really understands, appreciates and plays to his fan base -- you gotta respect the man for that. [Source]
