Kid Rock’s Aug. 12 concert at Comerica Park will be a daylong celebration of Detroit, the hometown star said today while announcing the show. Rock revealed details at a media event this morning at Belle Isle’s beach, after paddle surfing across the Detroit River with hockey pals Nick Lidstrom and Chris Chelios — introduced by Rock as “my new security detail.” Sammy Hagar & the Wabos have been enlisted as show opener, and will link up with Rock and his Twisted Brown Trucker band for a night-closing jam. “I look it as an excuse for people to come down and enjoy the city,” he said. “I kind of look at it like a (Tigers) opening day.” Before paddling off, Rock pointed journalists to a nearby cooler. It was packed with his Bad Ass Beer.
God damn I wish JBS had a financial backer. I would've kayaked out right behind these clowns singing "All Summer Long" through a bullhorn the entire way. Of course it wouldn't be cheap, i'd have to get some sort of Jim Joyce wetsuit made and you'd have to pony up for a night at the airport Ramada but shit small price to pay if you ask me. Only thing that could've made this picture better? Me slaying walleye from a kayak in the background.
PS - turns out Kid Rock was supposed to have a Comedy Central roast but he told them it's off when they suggested a venue outside of Detroit. Direct quote - "I'm not going to go to L.A. or Las Vegas to get teased,” he said. “If they come to Detroit, the roast will be on.” Fuckin love this guy.
PSS - If this isn't a massive play by Kid Rock to get Lidstrom back for another year I don't know what is.
