HoneyLine TV Interview Recap With Kid Rock On The Rachael Ray Show

October 14th, 2009

Below is Gabby Reece’s latest HoneyLine interview segment recap with Kid Rock which aired on the Rachael Ray show this morning.

If you don’t know one thing about Kid Rock it’s that he’s loyal. His band has been together for a long time, he stands by his friends, and the guy still lives in his home state of Michigan. One thing that doesn’t make it on the show is that on a lark Bobby got involved with starting Kick Ass Beer, which now employs over 300 people in Michigan (which as we all know could really use more jobs). The HoneyLine show is a unique opportunity to see another side of Bobby. He shared a story about an incident where his teenage son didn’t sit with him during a movie because who wants to be caught dead with their ‘dad’!? The parallel lines that connect us are all so similar yet we try to make it seem as if certain people get to live in different universes all together. I can’t sing but I can understand wanting to keep a balance, trying to pursue dreams, while creating a stable environment for my children. Mix in hard work, fun, and getting to a place where at least I understand why I do things, and not worry about if everyone get’s it. Oh, and all the other things in between: staying in shape, love, sex, and just trying to be happy.

I have to share this ‘line of all lines.’ Since Rachael Ray has a cooking show, I asked Bobby if he had a favorite thing to make in the kitchen, and in good rock star form he said “love.”

Kid Rock Supports “Assignment Detroit”

September 21st, 2009

Due to Detroit’s huge number of foreclosures and low real estate market, Times Inc. decided to purchase a house in Detroit where the old forum was held for their publishers and reporters to stay at. Their staff will be staying at the house for a year where they will be doing stories out of this city as part of “Assignment Detroit.”

The house is on a grand street flanked by huge trees in the West Village neighborhood, with six bedrooms and four bathrooms. In any other city in America, it would be worth well over half a million dollars. Mr. Tetzeli, the former managing editor at Entertainment Weekly who is leading the project, led the search, and Time Inc. bought the house for $99,000, or more than $85,000 over the current average home price in Detroit because most of the houses being sold have been foreclosed.

Kid Rock stopped by the house last week for a welcome party and brought a keg of local beer and a big “D” to hang over the fireplace.
