Kid Rock and Donald Trump are both entertainers who know how to get media attention.
Detroit Free Press columnist Rochelle Riley thinks Kid Rock is just a needless distraction:
Like President Donald Trump offering distraction after distraction from real issues, Kid Rock and his mic have been the hot topic of conversation for the past week when what we really should be talking about is the threat of nuclear war with Korea, jobs, whether our country has been sold to Russia, jobs, the status of Detroit's schools, jobs, moving the renaissance from the 7.2-mile swatch of Midtown and downtown to the neighborhoods where residents held Detroit down when it was down — and jobs, jobs, jobs.
Kid Rock's upcoming performance at the LCA shouldn't distract us from real Detroit issues, such as ensuring that the city's renaissance reaches all of its residents.
Detroit is still down in many areas.
Our schools don't have enough teachers.
Our residents don't have enough jobs.
And the arena's builders aren't hiring the number of Detroit workers they said they would.
And we just commemorated a 50-year-old civil disturbance and moved on, like nothing happened.
