I've been meaning to write a Kid Rock post for days now, ever since I saw him perform his summer radio hit "All Summer Long" on a Letterman re-run a few weeks back. I'm not a huge Kid Rock fan. When I first heard the song, which samples the melody of Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London," steals the chorus of "Sweet Home Alabama" all awhile Rock reminisces of his boyish summers in Michigan, I thought, "Damn, Rock has some deep-seeded Lynyrd Skynyrd issues. He crushes... MORE
Alright Moggers...what do you think about this one...
Waffle House kingpin Kid Rock is boldly going where only record labels have gone before. Rock is throwing himself a little ka-nip-shit over iTunes, saying he doesn't think Apple's music store pays artists enough for their downloads. As a result, Rock's music is not up for download on the site.
"Back in the day, we all know the stories of the Otis Reddings and Chuck Berrys and Fats Dominos who never got paid," Rock expla... MORE

Plenty of tidbits to consider this Friday...
- We're not quite sure how an article ostensibly about the new country-flavored album from The Pretenders came to be titled "Chrissie Hynde has never heard of Sarah Palin," but this piece from MSNBC is still worth checking out.
- Word from the New York Times is Kid Rock has finally joined the 21st century and made his music available online via Rhapsody (lucky them). Now if AC/DC would just end their holdout...

Kid Rock’s All Summer Long is a multi-genre smash - including Top Ten on the country chart. The song borrows musically from classic rock hits Sweet Home Alabama (Lynyrd Skynyrd) and Werewolves of London (Warren Zevon). Warren Zevon’s estate and Lynyrd Skynyrd both benefit from the song’s success. Watch Kid Rock’s All Summer Long video .
