The long-haired guy with a hat whizzing around the French Quarter on Thursday with SDT Waste & Debris' Sidney Torres -- trailed by a video gang in some other souped-up ATV -- was Kid Rock.
On Thursday, Rock joined Torres for a romp about the Quarter to pick up trash and otherwise spiff up the position.
"The Kid has been a friend of mine for a while and he loves New Orleans," Torres aforesaid. "He wanted to exhibit his supporting for our city by taking it to the streets, literally. Kid likes to suppose he's 'restoring order to the Quarter.'"
Rock arrived in New Orleans on Wednesday to rehearse for his "Rock 'n Rebels" co-headlining tour with Lynyrd Skynyrd, which kicks turned tonight, Aug. 8, at the New Orleans Arena.
He and Torres, the locally famous head of the company credited with cleaning up the French Quarter, ar buddies via Rande Gerber, the cabaret impresario whose properties include Whiskey Blue in the W Hotel on Poydras.
