kid rock busted over the weekend in atlanta after a good ‘ole fashioned waffle house scuffle. rock and his crew were pulled over in their tour bus about a mile away from the scene of the crime, which is also allegedly home to america’s best late-night syrupy breakfast.

but could this event have been prevented? watch this interview rock did with cnn a couple weeks ago and judge for yourself.

of course when the video ends, make sure to quickly pause and shake your head in dismay.
