Kid Rock rocks.

If you don’t think so, keep it to yourself.

That’s one moral to the story about a skirmish that broke out over Kid Rock’s talent – or, depending on your tastes, lack of it – at the Townhouse Restaurant earlier this month.

Birmingham police said that on the evening of Aug. 13, two men were talking about the Detroit country-hip-hop-rock superstar when a third man interjected that he wasn’t a fan, according to a report in the Detroit Free Press.

The Kid Rock hater went outside for a smoke, police said, and the other two men followed him outside, apparently to defend the local artist’s honor. They roughed him up a bit, shoving him from his chair, pushing him around and shoving him in the face, police said.

The alleged assailants had disappeared by the time police arrived at the restaurant.
