Kid Rock explores the boundaries of narcissism

9:51 a.m. · October 23, 2007 · by Geoffrey Nelson

Yesterday morning we told you about Kid Rock's seminal Waffle House brawl and subsequent arrest. In the comments section of that post, it was brought to our attention that Mr. Rock might have been wearing a t-shirt of himself at the time of the incident. Well, it's true. Pictured on CNN.com walking out of jail after a 12-hour detainment, is Kid Rock with a black t-shirt that very prominently displays his own face. His screen-printed-self looks directly into the camera and, an appropriate accessory, points a gun directly at the viewer.
This raises a number of questions. Is this the logical counter-argument to the cultural imperative raised in the movie "PCU," that you should never, ever wear the t-shirt of the band to the same band's concert? We were told: Don't be that guy. Well, what if you're wearing your own t-shirt, of yourself, to your own concert and resultant fast-food brawl? What then? Well, then I'd charge you with misdemeanor solipsism and felony awesomeness. Plead guilty, K-Rock.
