MTV.com: Kid Rock Credits Being ‘Real’…

This may not come as much of a surprise, but Kid Rock isn’t exactly the biggest fan of following the rules.


So when it came time to release the third single off his Rock N Roll Jesus album, he decided to forego conventional wisdom, ignoring the most popular singles medium out there — a little thing called “digital” — and opting instead to simply push the tune to radio stations. And just why did he choose to do this? Well, because he’s Kid Rock, that’s why.


“I’ve always had a problem with people telling me, ‘Oh, you have to do this because you have to do it,’ ” laughed Rock, who was just announced as a performer at this year’s VMAs. “So when everyone was telling me that I had to release my single on iTunes because they own the market and that’s just what you’ve gotta do these days, I decided that I wasn’t going to do it. My whole career, I’ve done that. Whenever everyone’s headed in the same direction, I turn around and run the other way.”
