Kid Rock Hilariously Responds To Insane Clown Posse Glass Dildo Subpoena
You may remember that a few weeks back, Kid Rock had received a subpoena to hand over a piece of evidence in a sexual harassment case involving Detroit rap duo Insane Clown Posse. According to the lawsuit, the duo's former publicist Andrea Pellegrini had once received a glass dildo as a gift from Psychopathic Records employee "Dirty Dan" Diamond, who allegedly gave it to none other than Kid Rock after Pellegrini had obviously refused it. I'd like to stress the word allegedly here, because apparently Kid Rock not only doesn't have the dildo, he's also never met Diamond or anyone involved in the case, at least according to a pair of letters the singer posted to his website today, which you can read below. -

Guns 'n' Roses, Avenged Sevenfold, Kid Rock headlining Columbus's Rock on The Range
Music festival announcement season has swung into full gear, and after looking at a couple of lineups, you get the idea for the rest. Many kudos to the many worthy alternative and indie rock bands touring the festival circuit this summer, but few festivals include anything representing the harder-rocking/metal side of music (we're stoked for Deafheaven at Governor's Ball). Rock on The Range, based in Columbus, OH, is the place to be for those into "weight room rock." The show's eighth incarnation brings headliners again. -
