Kid Rock finds his waffle house brawl funny

UPDATE:  Here's an update we added since with footage of Rock's mug shot and his appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

After an appearance in Atlanta last week, Kid Rock showed up at a Waffle House for some grits and a few punches.  He then took off in his tour bus with members of his entourage, but was arrested a mile from the restaurant.  He was arrested on Sunday for a misdemeanor of simple battery.

But he thinks it's all funny.

Kid Rock went on Ellen Degeneres' chat show today, and gave her a t-shirt from the waffle house.  It said "Eat my Grits."  He proudly showed off his injured knuckles to Ellen.

"We were celebrating, we had a great show that night.  We were hungry, it was late at night, we had been doing some drinking.  I know people work hard at the Waffle House," Kid said.  "So I tipped people behind the counter, I gave them $300 to split up, bought everyone breakfast there."

"We were having a good time and this one kid just started...and then one thing led to another and windows were broken, you know, cussin' and fussin' in the mud, the blood and the beer."

He said the other guy was looking for a fight so that he could sue, to which Rock replies, "take a number," adding that it would be like going after the Secretary of State.  Uh...that would be nothing like that.

I don't think they serve beer at the International House of friggin' Pancakes.  Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, had better hope he's got more than $300 to pass around to fix them windows.
