Looks like Kid Rock is taking a page or two from Donald Trump’s playbook. The “Devil Without a Cause” musician, who announced his intention to run for Senate on Wednesday, is already taking after The Donald and slamming the press for fake news. “Once again the press is wrong. First of all, I’ve got 15 days from my announcement to file paperwork with the Fec! Second, I’m not signed to Warner Bros!!! – which simple fact-checking would have revealed,” the musician, whose real name is Bob Ritchie, fumed on Facebook on Thursday. “I have recently worked out a unique deal with.

If you take your Jim Beam on the rocks, boy, do we have the gig for you.
Kid Rock announced Wednesday that his tour will be hiring one his fans to join him on tour this summer as the Kid's personal mixologist, sponsored by his favorite liquor of choice, Jim Beam.
Kid Rock's "Best Night Ever" summer tour has made headlines for its $20 ticket pricing, after he slammed the pricing for Justin Timberlake and Jay-z's tour, retailing near $250 per seat, as "highway robbery."
One fan will be getting paid to pack their bags and hit the road with Kid for three tour stops this summer. The lucky rocker will learn the secrets to pouring bourbon from Jim Beam's Master Mixologist, who will offer one-on-one bartender training. The mixologist's travel schedule has yet to be announced.

Cincinnati -- Talk about the perfect bill on the perfect night. Kid Rock and old pal Sheryl Crow kicked off their summer tour on Saturday (July 2) in the Queen City with a three-hour marathon of Americana that had it all – fireworks, giant American flags, songs about lazy (mostly drunken) summer days and pontoon boats, multiple references to funny cigarettes, purple mountains majesty and, of course, a couple of Uncle Sam-loving strippers thrown in for good measure.
What better way is there to gear up for the 4th of July, right?
For the 15,500 at Riverbend Amphitheater, clearly there was nowhere else to be in the windup to patriotic weekend, despite oppressive heat and humidity that made goopy mascara run, sky-high hair droop and sweat to flow in torrents down a sea of butterfly-themed tramp stamps.

On Tuesday, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame unveiled the nominees for induction in 2011, a list that's as inspiring (Beastie Boys! Tom Waits! Dr. John!) as it is mystifying (LL Cool J?).
Not surprisingly, this year's noms sparked a whole lot of debate — because kvetching about the Rock Hall is an exercise as old as the Hall itself — and for most of the day, I was ready to lend my voice to the argument. After all, any Hall of Fame that does not include among its ranks the likes of Kiss, Rush, Cheap Trick or Def Leppard (or even Joy Division, the Replacements, Hüsker Dü,...
