Completely Unrelated: Kid Rock Needs to Quit Reminding Us How Much Better Other People's Music Is Than His

Kid Rock recently was placed on probation for an assault at an Atlanta waffle restaurant. (I’m assuming "waffle restaurant" is a euphemism; if it occurred within a quarter-mile of an I-75 off-ramp, I’d bet you any amount of money which waffle restaurant it was.)

Evidently, he also spent the entire summer of 1989 singing "Sweet Home Alabama"; I suspect that fact, coupled with his recent criminal conviction, would get him branded as another S.E.C. outlaw in some corners of the blogosphere, but, alas, Kid Rock is a Michigander.

None of that, though, is my reason for this edition of "Completely Unrelated." My purpose is instead to ask this question:

Am I the only one who turns up the radio when he hears the beginning of "All Summer Long," only to suffer genuine disappointment when it turns out not to be "Werewolves of London"?

Admittedly, I am particularly partial to Warren Zevon, but, still, isn’t the drop-off in expectations comparable to what one feels when what initially seemed to be "Under Pressure" wound up instead being nothing more than "Ice Ice Baby"?

Yes, I just likened Kid Rock to Vanilla Ice. The longer you think about that, the more the analogy will make sense.

Go ‘Dawgs!

One of my favorites as well...

Widespread Panic, in the GA. Theatre on Halloween, in 1992 to open the show.

Mikey was still standing up back then, and at the 2:00 minute mark, does what he did best…

Enjoy!

Kid Rock

You need to stick to sports! When it comes to Great music, You obviously ride the short bus. On a lighter note, Thats a very pretty helmet you are wearing.

I'm not sure to what helmet you are referring, missy . . .

. . . but to each his own, I suppose. At least I have the consolation of knowing Kid Rock agrees with me, or else he wouldn’t have bothered lifting Warren Zevon’s intro, right?

Thanks for coming by to comment. Word to your mother.

Go 'Dawgs!

I HATE HATE HATE...

...that song with a burning passion. I too have been fooled thinking it was Warren Zevon, and the trickery only deepens my anger.

It happened again to me yesterday

I’d been flipping around Sirius and lost track of the channel, when “Werewolves of London” started—but no, it was that something about summer song by Kid Rock. And he proceeds to lift directly from Skynyrd, too.

And yes, Kyle, the comparison with Vanilla Ice’s Queen/Bowie tease is apt.
