As for the other world-famous acts set to play in 2011? Kanye West (w/ Kid Cudi), Peter Gabriel and the New Blood Orchestrea, Kid [...]

I may have found more than my fair share of those but the best part was the REAL rock and roll I got to experience before the American Badass even hit the...

Kid Rock (his real name is fucking "Bob") is, once again, the center of controversy - but not, as per usual, because he fucked some famous ho-bag in a public toilet, or got into a cat fight with said ho-bag's ex, or because his music sucks.
