He really does! The native Detroit rocker is giving a little back and partnering with Wayne State University to fund a music scholarship to boost Detroit youth interest in music and, presumably, all things that rock the rust belt. His T-shirt company, "Made in Detroit," is footing the bill and rolling out limited edition tees featuring the MID tag embedded in Wayne State's logo. All the proceeds go to local kids who wanna rock. Why Wayne State? Rolling Stone has named it among the top the schools that rock. Whatever. But give it up for the Kid!

Here is Kid Rock encouraging us to steal whatever we want, in order to prove a point that downloading music is baaaad. It totally worked, but we're still not going to buy his albums.
