Kid Rock Tips Pizza Man $1,500

Posted: August 12th, 2009 at 1:00 pm | By: Alison Bonaguro

Kid Rock is quietly charitable. And Kid Rock reads the Cincinnati Enquirer newspaper. I'm not sure which one of those facts surprises me more. Either way, this is a great little story of a random act of kindness from a celeb. When Kid Rock was in Ohio for a show, he read about a pizza delivery man who was robbed and left critically injured. So Rock sent the guy a check for $1,500. Harry Colyer, 28, was beaten with a brick and a wooden plank back in July. His cheekbones were broken and he now has a slight hearing loss. The good news, in addition to Kid Rock's generosity, is that three people have already been arrested and charged in this attack.

Kid Rock is without a doubt a great guy, he’s from Michigan and we all know what “helping someone out means”, look at our states ecomonics. Great Job Kid, your the MAN!

I probably would have never heard about this if you hadn’t posted it so thanks! Kid Rock is awesome for doing this. I’m glad the guys who attacked the pizza guy were arrested.
