After Waffle House, Kid Rock hits Gwinnett Arena
According to his Web site, Ritchie's career started at age 11, as a member of the b-boy (breakdancing) group 'The Furious Funkers.' Studying the success of Run DMC and The Beastie Boys, he bought a cheap belt-driven turntable and honed his craft. In high school he often DJ'ed parties for beer. It was during this period he was given his stage name, 'Kid Rock' after fans said they enjoyed watching 'that white kid rock.' Robb D. Cohen/ www.robbsphotos.com
