Kid Rock doesn't need iTunes, thankyouverymuch

Warner_Music_Group_Post-Grammy_Party.JPGDon't talk to Kid Rock about iTunes. You're liable to get his Southern gander up. He's enjoying radio and retail success with "All Summer Long" and its album, Rock N Roll Jesus, without either of them being available as digital downloads on iTunes, reports billboard.com. In fact, the Kid is rather, um, passionate about the subject.

"I remember being a kid when I heard a song that I liked, I would jump on the bus, ride to Detroit, get a $2.50 transfer and walk a mile to the hip-hop store to buy the new Eric B. & Rakim record. You're not going to stop people from obtaining what they want if it's available at some level."

Well said. Although his label, Atlantic Records, may thwart his bravado a bit. Rock N Roll Jesus is scheduled to be made available digitally on amazon.com, walmart.com, Rhapsody and bestbuy.com.
