September 4, 2008: "Kid Rock Can't Get Enough Of Amy Winehouse's Vintage Soul Sound"
Kid Rock is obsessed with Amy Winehouse. The "All Summer Long" singer can't get enough of Amy's vintage soul sound, and thinks it could have a place in his own music. Rock, who has turned his back on his trademark rap-rock sound, said: "The only thing I've been listening to lately is Amy Winehouse. She's got me back into that old-school soul thing. Her album is so great it's made me go through all my old Stax and Motown records again. "I'd really like to add a little of that flavor to my music. Hip-hop's turned into bad pop music. People don't believe in half of the current rappers and especially don't believe in what they have to say. No-one's really a killer or a gangster - that's why I'm singing more." Rock also slammed talk show host Oprah Winfrey, saying he "doesn't believe" in her political views. The 37-year-old said: "When they all go, 'I'm voting for this guy,' I go, 'That's not who I'm voting for!' I love Barack Obama, I hate Oprah Winfrey. Well no, I don't hate her. I just don't believe in her." *** July 22, 2008: "Kid Rock Wants To Lose His "Bimbo Attractor Chip"" Kid Rock, who was previously married to Pamela Anderson, wants to avoid getting romantically involved with vacuous women. Hinting about his turbulent romance with former 'Baywatch' star Pamela, the 37-year-old musician told Britain's The Independent magazine: "My greatest regret? Well, she knows who she is. "If I could change one thing about myself, it would be to lose the bimbo attractor chip that God must have placed in me at birth." The 'All Summer Long' singer started dating Pamela on and off from 2001, and the pair married in 2006. They divorced just five months later. Rock has previously said of the marriage: "What can I say? I was in love with the chick. Did I think the marriage would last? Yes, I honestly thought it would. I was that much of an idiot, that f***ing blind." Rock's latest album 'Rock N Roll Jesus' is partly inspired by his split from Pammie. She has now rekindled her relationship with ex-husband, Tommy Lee, with who she has two children. *** June 23, 2008: "Kid Rock Urges Kids To Steal Everything In New PSA" Kid Rock is urging everyone to "Steal everything!" The rocker/rapper has filmed a Public Service Announcement about music illegal download, saying "it's okay to steal." In the film, Kid Rock says that he couldn't really complain about someone illegally downloading his songs because he is already rich. But to "level the playing field," he encourages everyone to steal everything else, not just music. Kid Rock gives examples from other rich people like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, saying they won't notice if you steal a couple of laptops or iPods because they are billionaires. Other rich people he mentioned include Tommy Hilfiger, Toyota, and oil companies. At the end of the clip, Kid Rock does a little real public service announcement saying, "Remember, stay in school and stay off the drugs." The PSA comes after his interview with BBC about illegal downloading music. Kid Rock told the station that he doesn't mind if kids download his music illegally as long as they buy tickets to his concerts. *** June 14, 2008: "Kid Rock Hospitalized!" Kid Rock has been forced to pull out of an appearance at the U.K.’s Download Festival after he was admitted to hospital on Friday. Kid Rock canceled his performance just minutes before he was due to take to the Main Stage at the music event. A statement from festival organizers reads: “We’ve had the curse of Download. Kid Rock is not very well (and) we’ve had to rush him to hospital in Nottingham (England). He apologizes to his fans.” *** March 24, 2008: " Kid Rock Assaults Fans" 3 men filed a $15 million lawsuit on Friday which claims that Kid Rock and 6 members of the group Boo-Yaa Tribe assaulted them after they asked for autographs. The alleged incident took place back in 2006 outside Hollywood hotspot Teddy’s at the Roosevelt Hotel. According to the suit, Carlos Bonilla, Michael Medlin and Jose Perez were beaten up and even had their cameras and bags stolen after asking for Kid’s autograph. In addition to Kid and the Boo-Yaa Tribe, the suit also names the Roosevelt Hotel and Teddy’s as defendants saying that the security was negligent on the matter which created a “dangerous and hazardous condition”. *** March 4, 2008: "Kid Rock Pleads Not Guilty In A Fight" Kid Rock has pleaded not guilty to a charge of battery from a fight at a Waffle House in Atlanta. Robert James Ritchie, better known as the musician Kid Rock, was not present for the plea. His attorney, Darryl Cohen, waived an arraignment hearing and entered the plea on Ritchie's behalf in DeKalb County State Court, according to Cohen's office. Ritchie and five members of his entourage were arrested October 21st on a misdemeanor charge of simple battery. The charges stem from a fight at a a metro-Atlanta Waffle House, where they had stopped following his performance at The Tabernacle. Officials say a fight broke out after another customer recognized a woman in Kid Rock's party and exchanged words with her, prompting Ritchie to exchange words, too. *** Music rapper and actor Kid Rock picture(s)/pic(s), wallpaper and photo gallery, albums covers pictures. Birth name: Robert James Ritchie. Born: January 17, 1971, Romeo, Michigan, USA. Nickname: Bob or Bobby. Height: 6' (1.83 m). Spouse(s): -Pamela Anderson (3 August 2006 - 1 February 2007) (divorced). KID ROCK biography (bio): Grits Sandwiches For Breakfast Era 1987-1991: Ritchie's career started at the age of 11, as a member of the b-boy group 'The Furious Funkers'. After the success of Run DMC and The Beastie Boys, he bought a cheap belt driven turntable and honed his craft. In high school, Ritchie would DJ parties for beer. He eventually joined Bo Wisdom of Groove Time Productions, in Mt. Clemens, where he played a few shows. It was during these shows that he was given his stage name; Wisdom dubbed him with the moniker 'Kid Rock' after fans had enjoyed watching "that white kid rock." In addition to DJ'ing, Kid started emceeing and would go on to join the Detroit hip hop group, The Beast Crew. The Beast Crew was comprised of The Blackman, Champtown, KDC, Crisp and Doc Rounce Cee. Kid also became friends with producer D-Nice of the legendary Hip-Hop group Boogie Down Productions. When Rock opened for BDP one night, D-Nice invited an A&R from Jive Records to see Kid perform. This meeting eventually led to a demo deal, which developed into a full record contract. Against his parents' wishes, Kid signed the deal at the age of seventeen. Despite his new record deal, Kid had a falling out with The Beast Crew when he got signed over fellow member Champtown (the two have since made amends). He later became part of the Straight From The Underground Tour, where he found himself alongside several heavyweights of rap including Ice Cube, Too $hort, D-Nice, and Yo-Yo. In 1990, Kid Rock released his debut album Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast on Jive Records. The first single, "Yo Da Lin In The Valley", was banned by the FCC because of its raunchy subject matter, and the State University of New York at Cortland was fined $23,700 for airing it. In 1991, controversy hit the hip hop community when it was discovered that another white rapper, Vanilla Ice, had exaggerated his upbringing in an attempt to bolster his street credibility. The deception was widely condemned, and a backlash began. In an attempt to distance themselves from the controversy, Jive dropped Kid Rock from their label. The Independent Days Era 1992-1997: In 1992, Kid Rock was picked up by an independent record label, Continuum Records, recording and releasing his second album The Polyfuze Method in 1993. While the album saw some college radio success at Central Michigan University, "Back From The Dead" was a top 20 hit. Its first official single, "U Don't Know Me", failed to chart, and the music video received no airplay on any of the major music video channels. After releasing an EP called Fire It Up, in 1994, Continuum went bankrupt and Rock was left without a record deal again. Kid Rock then started his own label, Top Dog, and would release monthly demo tapes that he dubbed The Bootleg Series, which feature demos of him and other unknowns in the Detroit area. He signed on Curt Hauer, Dave Long, and the Cook twins to be his "Top Dog Interns". The interns would helped him promote his shows and design his own merchandise line in the Detroit area. Around the same time, Rock formed his back-up band Twisted Brown Trucker, later recruiting Joe C, who he met at a 1994, as part of the group. In 1995, Kid Rock took a job as a janitor at Whiterooms Studios in order to pay studio fees. When he wasn't working, Kid would record the material that would eventually make up his third album, Early Morning Stoned Pimp. The album was released in 1996 and Kid would sell 14,000 copies of out of the trunk of his car and after concerts. While Rock was now a household name in Michigan, he felt he still needed to get his name out there for the major labels. On March 30, 1997, he performed a special showcase concert, with Jason Krause on guitar, hours before the show to attract major label attention. While many of the major record labels were invited, the only label that showed up was Atlantic Records. Following the performance, record executives said they loved him but expressed doubts about the strength of his material. Kid Rock returned to the studio and cut a six song demo tape; the first two were "Somebody's Gotta Feel This" and "I Got One For Ya". After hearing the two songs, Jason Flom (President of Atlantic Records at the time) signed Kid Rock to a record deal for $100,000 without hearing the rest. Devil Without a Cause Era 1997-2000: In 1997, Kid Rock added drummer/vocalist Stefanie Eulinberg to his band, joining Kenny Olson, Jason Krause, Jimmie Bones, Uncle Kracker, Mike Bradford, and Joe C. In August 1998, Atlantic released Devil Without a Cause behind the single "Welcome 2 The Party". Kid Rock went on the Vans Warped Tour to support the album. "Welcome 2 The Party" was ignored by audiences and Devil sat on the shelves collecting dust for eight months. A chance meeting at a New York nightclub with MTV VJ Carson Daly led to the video for "I Am The Bullgod" being aired on MTV. The song, originally on 1994's Fire It Up EP, became a minor rock hit. After two notable live performances at MTV's Fashionably Loud and Wanna Be a VJ, Kid released the single, "Bawitdaba", to renewed interest and sales. His performance of the song at the 1999 MTV Movie Awards provided further exposure and a boost to album sales. Kid Rock went on the Limptropolis Tour with Limp Bizkit and Staind soon after Bawitdaba was released. He performed a medley of "King Of Rock", "Rock Box", "Bawitdaba", and "Walk This Way" with Aerosmith and Run DMC at MTV's 1999 Video Music Awards, as well as at Woodstock 1999. He released three more singles from the album: "Cowboy", which fused country and folk music with rap, "Only God Knows Why", a Lynyrd Skynyrd-style ballad, and "Wasting Time", a playful ode to getting stoned and drunk. Devil Without a Cause eventually sold 11 million copies, and currently ranks as the 60th best selling album of all time.[2] By years end, Kid was nominated for two Grammy Awards and began the first of two tours with Metallica. The History Of Rock Era 2000-2001: After reacquiring the rights to his early material in 2000, he released The History of Rock, a collection of remixed and re-recorded songs. The only new track, "American Bad Ass", sampled the Metallica track "Sad But True". The song was later used as pro wrestler The Undertaker's entrance song in World Wrestling Entertainment. In the summer of 2000, Kid Rock joined the Summer Sanitarium Tour with Metallica, Korn, Powerman 5000, and System of a Down. Kid Rock filled in for James Hetfield of Metallica for three shows after Hetfield was injured. Later that year, he joined Phish on stage for several songs at a concert in Las Vegas. At the end of 2000, Joe C, a member of Kid's backup band, Twisted Brown Trucker, died of Celiac disease. In early 2001, Kid Rock inducted Aerosmith into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and performed "Sweet Emotion". The same year, Kid landed his first acting role in David Spade comedy "Joe Dirt". The Cocky Era 2001-2003: In the spring of 2001, Kid began dating Playboy playmate and actress Pamela Anderson, after the two met at a VH1 tribute to Aretha Franklin. In April of 2002 Kid and Pamela Anderson were engaged, but the engagement was later called off. In November of that year, Kid Rock released Cocky, which was marketed as the official follow up to Devil Without a Cause. The first single released was titled "Forever", followed by the country blues ballad "Lonely Road of Faith", and the southern rock styled "You Never Met a Motherfucker Quite Like Me". Despite the new tunes, it was initially a disappointing album that sold just over 2 million copies. However, the release of "Picture", a country-influenced duet with Sheryl Crow, introduced Kid Rock to a new audience. "Picture" was ultimately the most successful single on the album, and would eventually be certified gold. Following "Picture", sales of Cocky eventually reached 5 million. Interestingly, neither his record company nor Sheryl Crow's wanted anything to do with "Picture" as a single. Allison Moorer remade the song for the single version after Kid Rock released the song against his labels wishes; as it began climbing the country charts, Sheryl Crow's label caved and the original version was finally released. On December 14, 2001, CMT aired an episode of Crossroads with Hank Williams, Jr.. The episode drew 2.1 million people viewers, a record on CMT. On January 1, 2002, Kid Rock was featured on MTV's USO Special performing "American Bad Ass" and "Lonely Road Of Faith", for troops stationed at Germany's Rammstein Airbase. At the end of 2002, Uncle Kracker left the band to pursue a solo career. Detroit underground rapper Paradime replaced him. Kid Rock also made his second movie, Biker Boyz, with Laurence Fishburne. The year ended on a sad note at VH1's Big In '02 Awards where Kid, along with Chuck D and Grandmaster Flash, performed a tribute medley to Run DMC and murdered member Jason Mizell also known as Jam Master Jay. A New Direction 2003-2006: In 2003, Kid Rock returned with an eponymous album which delved even deeper into country music. The first single was a country/hard rock cover of Bad Company's, "Feel Like Makin' Love". Other hits included the blues-influenced "Jackson, Mississippi" about heroin addiction; "Cold and Empty" about losing a love interest to the road life; the patriotic ballad "I Am"; and the ode to his son "Single Father", which would become his second country hit in 2004. On December 14, 2003, VH1 aired A VH1 Kid Rock Christmas. The program featured Rock performing classic tracks along with several new tunes from his self-titled release. On February 1, 2004, Kid Rock performed at Super Bowl XXXVIII and received criticism for his choice to wear the American flag as a poncho. Later that year, Kid Rock appeared later in Jesse James' documentary, Motorcycle Mania 3. During a pit stop at a Mexican hotel, he performed a cover of Charlie Daniels' "A Long Haired Country Boy". In October of 2004, Kid Rock continued his move towards country music with a performance of "Rock 'N Roll Pain Train", and a country take on Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls", on CMT Outlaws In 2005, Kid attended Spike TV's Autorox awards. Kid took a shot at the people who had him and Twisted Brown Trucker removed from playing at the presidential inauguration concert. In February of 2005, Kid was arrested on assault charges for punching DJ Jay Campos in 'Christies Cabaret' stripclub. Rock plead 'No Contest' and was sued for a million dollars by Mr. Campos. The following month, he inducted Bob Seger into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In September, Kid Rock filled in for Johnny Van Zant, the lead singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd on the band's hit Sweet Home Alabama at the Hurricane Katrina benefit concert. Live' Trucker Era 2006-2007: On February 28, 2006, Kid Rock released his first live album, Live Trucker, comprising songs from his homestands of Clarkston (on September 1, 2000, and August 26 through August 28, 2004), and Detroit's Cobo Hall (March 26, 2004). The album contained the last two performances of Joe C on "Devil Without a Cause" and "Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp", as well as duetting with Gretchen Wilson on "Picture". Other highlights included "Only God Knows Why", the medley of "Somebody's Gotta Feel This" and "Fist Of Rage", bridged by a thrash metal take on Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love". He brought Bob 'the King Of Detroit' Seger back from semi-retirement during his Super Bowl concerts on February 2 and 3, 2006. The two performed a rousing "Rock 'N' Roll Never Forgets" on both nights. Kid Rock would appear on Bob Seger much anticipated, 10 years in the waiting, Face The Promise on a Vince Gill cover "Real Mean Bottle", a tribute to Merle Haggard. Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson had a surprise wedding in July of 2006 after it was reported Anderson was pregnant. They divorced 5 months later after Anderson reportedly had a miscarriage. Kid Rock says the pregnancy was false and he was used as a baby sitter for her kids to go out and party without him. The movie Borat might have been the final straw as Kid was angered over her part and stormed out of a personal screening with a group of friends. In November of 2006, Kid Rock performed his classic, "I Am the Bullgod", and reaching deep into the catalog "Baby Come Home", on a TBS USO Special, the following month he along with Billy Gibbons and Nickleback performed ZZ Top's classic, "Tush", at the 2006 Billboard Music Awards.

During an attempt for press for the album at the September 9th MTV VMA's Kid Rock and Tommy Lee got into a scuffle.
