NEW YORK - Kid Rock isn't one to back down from a fight, but says he doesn't go looking for trouble.

"Last thing I want is to have a reputation. I believe in standing up for things I believe in," the 36-year-old rock-rapper told Ellen DeGeneres on her syndicated talk show Thursday. "Being honest sometimes gets me in a little bit of trouble."

Kid Rock - who quarrelled with Tommy Lee at MTV's Video Music Awards last month - was arrested early Sunday after a brawl at a Waffle House restaurant in Atlanta.

"It started with me celebrating a great show that night. We were hungry. It was late at night," he told DeGeneres.

"I know the people work hard at Waffle House so I tipped people behind the counter and gave $300 to split up. Bought everyone breakfast in there," he said. "We had a good time. This one kid just started talking. ... And then one thing led to another, windows were breaking, cussing and fussing ... the mud, the blood and the beer."

Kid Rock explained: "He said, 'I hope you get mad, I'll sue the hell out of you.' I'm like, 'Take a number."'

Mekka Parish, a spokeswoman for the DeKalb County Police Department, said the fight between Kid Rock and a male customer moved outside to the parking lot, and at some point, the customer punched out a restaurant window.

Kid Rock and five members of his entourage were taken into custody on a misdemeanour charge of simple battery. He was released from the county jail on bond Sunday afternoon, Parish said.

Popular food establishment in the South...



...where they're everywhere (and I believe they stay open all night).


My best friend calls it the "Awful House" because of the food quality.
( Think Denny's)

Denny's is nasty to me....Waffle House is 20 times better. Yeah, they stay open 24 hours. It's nice to roll up in there or IHOP in the middle of the night when not too many other places are open.

My bud is a "healthy eater" (which i'm not) hence his ire with the place.
As far as i'm concerned, if it's late and i'm hungry, any one of those 3 will do.

I'm headed for Florida next week so maybe i'll give you a report on the current state of their waffles.

i've been to numerous waffle houses...i was just surprised that was rock's food of choice after a show.

sosgemini said:

Aah so.

Well, sometimes that time of night you've got no choice.
And then again, maybe he digs it.

As long as they keep referring to it as the "Waffle House brawl/fight/incident" I really don't care, that shit cracks me up

The Kid doesn't look like someone you'd want to mess with, he looks pretty strong. Tommy Lee looks like a punk.

sosgemini said:

You'll have to take me there the next time i'm in the vicinity.

CalhounSq said:

It's called Chicken & Waffle House.

I became closely acquainted with Waffle Houses when I moved to Tennessee.

Tasty fare.

Just don't be fly-phobic...

sosgemini said:

Barnes and Noble is one of my favorite stores ever. I've been telling myself to check that one out but haven't yet. I was always going to His Lordships for church banquets instead

sosgemini said:
