Kid Rock lives in an exurb called Mass Appeal, residing at the intersection of four well-traveled streets — where Outlaw Country Rd turns into Classic Rock Av. and where R&B Lane morphs into Hip-Hop Circle.

On Saturday at Target Center, the pride of Detroit put on a high-energy, highly entertaining, crowd-pleasing show. He’s a free-wheelin’ entertainer who doesn’t take himself seriously but is serious about having fun. He didn’t spend the show bashing his ex-Pamela Anderson like he did last time through town at the Myth. He came to party with 6,000 people.

The concept for his show was a rock ‘n roll revue. Kid Rock did his hits, tunes from his latest CD “Rock & Roll Jesus” and a few covers. And he brought along two guests who havent been on an arena stage in years — Peter Wolf, former frontman of the J. Geils Band, and Rev Run from Run D.M.C. Both remain fun-loving and fun-producing entertainers. In fact, the goosebump-giving highlights for me were J. Geils’ “I Must Have Got Lost” and Run D.M.C.’s “Walk This Way,” with Kid Rock willingly playing duet partner and hypeman.
