Kid Rock Keeps Local Viewers Buzzing After AMA Performance
The post-American Music Awards chatter around the rest of the country might be focused on Justin Bieber's sweep and Taylor Swift's bangs.
But in Detroit they're talking about Kid Rock.
The homegrown star got local viewers buzzing with his Sunday night performance of "Times Like These," his new song inspired by Detroit's tough stretch.
Seated on a stool and gracefully backlit on L.A.'s Nokia Theatre stage, Rock offered a warm, heartfelt acoustic version of the song, eliciting a standing ovation and lighting up Twitter and Facebook with viewer raves.
