Singer Kid Rock attempted to make good on his October 2007 Waffle House arrest by returning to the scene of the crime as a short order cook for charity. The Associated Press talked with the throngs of fans outside the Dekalb County Waffle House yesterday morning:

First in line: Ashley Miles, 21, from West Virginia and her mother, Terri. They arrived at 8:30 p.m. Monday and waited all night. “I love him; he is gorgeous,” the daughter said.

Next in line: Alisha Mullen and husband Wes, who arrived at 3:30 a.m. from Point Pleasant, West Virginia. They brought sons Carson Taylor, 7, and Brady Taylor, 10. When asked what he would say to Kid Rock, Carson smiled and said, “I’m a cowboy, baby.”

You could get the same elite collective by scraping the bottom of your boots outside Gwinnett County Wal-Mart or emptying the local drunk tank on a payday. Fact: if it smells like Skoal Long Cut, Old Grand Dad and Stetson Aftershave, you can bet your sweet bippy it’s a Kid Rock fan. Run fast, run far.
