Kid Rock Raises $1 Million for Detroit Symphony Orchestra
Kid Rock has paid tribute to late Beastie Boys member Adam Yauch with a heartfelt blog post detailing his gratitude to the pioneering hip-hop group for helping to pave the way for his own music career.
The Beastie Boys’ Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction was appropriately raucous, although somewhat bittersweet: Although Ad-Rock (Adam Horovitz), Mike D (Michael Diamond) and their long-time DJ Mix Master Mike appeared at the ceremony, Adam Yauch (aka MCA) was unable to attend.
The self-proclaimed 'Rock and Roll Jesus' meets 'The King' during the latest episode of 'Live From the Artists Den.' Watch below to see Kid Rock's entire set from Graceland, which includes a cover performance of Elvis Presley's 'Burning Love.'
Their have been recent reports painting Kid Rock's 'Made in Detroit' clothing brand in a negative light for using materials not even made in the United States. Mr. Rock himself angrily fired back at those allegations today, citing one "irresponsible" reporter in particular -- Susan Tompor of the Detroit Free Press.
In 1997, Detroit bad boy Kid Rock was a devil without a cause, raising havoc and keeping the party raging. Now, Rock is singing a different tune and he's. His new video for 'Care,' which debuted today, accompanies his chartbusting country rock single about social and political awareness and empathy.
