Kid Rock’s latest album “Rock’n'Roll Jesus” and its single “All Summer Long” have been two of the biggest hits of the summer. But it’s happened without either being available for download via Apple’s iTunes Music Store in the United States.

Rock has been an outspoken critic not only of track downloading but Internet piracy. In a “smartass” public service announcement he recently advised people to steal everything. Eschewing iTunes also proves a point, Rock adds.

“I tell people in my organization, ‘Do not ever come up to me and say, “This is what everyone’s doing and how they’re doing it.” Don’t ever give me that lame-ass bullsh*t,’” he tells Billboard at a Nashville tequila bar. “As soon as someone says, ‘You have to be on iTunes … they’re the No. 1 retailer’ … I don’t have to. Because I remember being a kid when I heard a song that I liked, I would jump on the bus, ride to Detroit, get a $2.50 transfer and walk a mile to the hip-hop store to buy the new Eric B. & Rakim record. You’re not going to stop people from obtaining what they want if it’s available at some level.”

However, Atlantic president Julie Greenwald says “Rock’N'Roll Jesus” will be available soon digitally in the States as an album via providers like Amazon, walmart.com, Rhapsody and bestbuy.com.

“We get so caught up in technology and ease [of downloading a single] … there’s nothing wrong with listening to a whole record from start to finish,” Kid Rock co-manager Ken Levitan says.

In other news, Kid Rock and his Twisted Brown Trucker band recently cut a new song, “Warrior,” for a National Guard commercial. It will be downloadable in its entirety on the National Guard’s Web site once the commercial airs. He’s also looking at launching signature beer and cigar products.

“I like [branding opportunities] when it’s something I’m into, and I’m definitely into beer and cigars,” Rock says. “You probably won’t see me on the cover of a Wheaties box or selling Tide detergent, because it’s irrelevant to me.”

Yes, it’s time for the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Association Telethon, starting at 9 tonight through 6:30 p.m. Monday and carried in Detroit on WMYD-TV (Channel 20). The national broadcast originates from the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa in Las Vegas, with some live segments broadcast from New York and Chicago.

It’s telethon No. 43, and the hosting is divvied up among the following battalion: MDA national chairman and telethon founder and hero of all France Lewis, now 82, Ed McMahon (fresh from solving his housing problem), Tom Bergeron, Jann Carl, Bart Connor, Norm Crosby, Billy Gilman, Nancy O’Dell, Tony Orlando, Alison Sweeney and Ace Young.

Once upon a time, the telethon was a showcase for Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and even Lewis’ former comedy partner, Dean Martin. This weekend, the talent parade includes our man KR, Celine Dion, 3 Doors Down, Sugarland, Ludacris, Reba McEntire, Will Downing, Billy Bob Thornton, Lance Burton, Bo Bice, George Wallace, Gloria Gaynor, Joshua Bell, Menudo, Maureen McGovern, John Ondrasik, Pat Monahan of Train, Ronn Lucas, Starship, Terry Fator and more.

O’Dell, of the popular newsmagazine show “Access Hollywood,” is joining the show for the first time. Her mother, Betty Humphries, 74, was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in November and died in June.

The purpose of it all is to support the MDA’s programs of research, services and education for children and adults who have muscular dystrophy or a related disease. Last time out, Lewis and his pals brought in a record $63.8 million; the local tote in ‘07 was $1.7 million.

While the former Jive Records rapper, who has performed with Esham, Eminem and Run-DMC, has gotten further away from his Hip Hop roots, this performance was revealed to feature Lil Wayne.

“I don’t know if I was supposed to tell or not, but I don’t give a fuck,” Rock said. “If I was supposed to keep it a secret, they should have not told me.”

DETROIT (AP) — Kid Rock is showing his affection for Detroit with a new video for a song on his new platinum-selling CD “Rock ‘N Roll Jesus.”

The boisterous Detroit-area rocker and bandmates on Wednesday visited the Motown Historical Museum to shoot footage of them performing the song “Roll On.” The museum is the former home of Motown Records.

This week a film crew also shot footage of Kid Rock driving around the city in a 1960s Lincoln Continental and visiting landmarks such as Tiger Stadium, the former home of the Detroit Tigers that is being demolished.

Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert J. Ritchie, says he “really wanted to capture the heart and soul of Detroit.”

The video is expected to be released this fall.
