KID ROCK & LYNYRD SKYNYRD: ROCK & REBELS TOUR

Kid Rock and Lynyrd Skynyrd are teaming up once again, this time for the summer Rock & Rebels Tour.

Rock is touring in support of his No. 1 2007 release Rock 'N' Roll Jesus, which has now sold more than 4 million albums worldwide. His new single from that album is the tune "Blue Jeans and a Rosary."

Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame inductees Lynyrd Skynyrd have sold more than 30 million albums in their long career. The band's most famous song, "Sweet Home Alabama," has been downloaded as a ringtone more than 2 million times. This month, Lynyrd Skynyrd inked a deal with Loud & Proud/Roadrunner Records, who will release their new effort later this year. "We're busy putting the finishing touches on our next record,being produced by Bob Marlette and can't wait for the fans to hear it," says singer Johnny Van Zant. "Our brother Billy Powell recorded six tracks before his sudden passing and we are confident he'd be very happy with the end result."

NewsBLITZ: KID ROCK SHILLING BEER!

Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil sells wine via Vince Vineyards.

Sammy Hagar has made a fortune with Cabo Wabo Tequila.

Nelly's Pimp Juice revs up the adrenaline.

And Lil Jon gives a boost with Crunk!!! Energy Drink.

Now Kid Rock is getting in on the celebrity-drink craze by launching his own signature beer!


The Michigan Brewing Company is investing $7 million on the new craft beer from the Rock 'N' Roll Jesus. The ale’s name, style, pricing and packaging have yet to be determined, but Kid is said to be working very closely with the company to get all the details figured out. “It’s his idea," says Michigan Brewing Company owner Bobby Mason. "It’s his concept. I’m just working with him to make it happen.”

Expect Kid Rock's beer to hit shelves in time for spring. And, then you can get your drink on All Summer Long!

2009 Grammy Awards

Nice one Chris Brown. Not only did I fall asleep before the Grammys were over thanks to Cold Play putting me to sleep (until Jay Z came out for a cameo), but you totally f'd the Grammys because you assaulted darling Rihanna (possibly just a rumor). Was that some kind of sick Valentines Day gift? Let me take a swing at your puny 19-year old ass.

Anyway, I love Kid Rock but his performance wasn't dirty enough for me I guess. A big @#$% YEAH!!! to MIA for getting up there majorly preggers and doing a great job. Even more interesting than the actual Grammy show, is New York Times critics Jon Caramonica and David Itzkoff's live blogging.
