What? It’s June, people. It’s very important to stay well-hydrated. Clearly Kid Pebble did not pack enough juice boxes when he partied into the wee hours of the morning at Central London’s Whisky Mist nightclub, because he failed to appear as scheduled on stage at the Download Festival the next day. He had been hospitalized for “dehydration.”
Dehydration was a very serious summer issue in Arizona, where I grew up. We were lectured again and again about the importance of drinking water all day long, and we were always given juice boxes and water bottles wherever we went. And let me tell you, even as small children running around outside all day, we managed to keep ourselves hydrated. I lived in Phoenix, Arizona for twenty-one years and I never knew a single person who was actually hospitalized for dehydration.
I did, however, know plenty of people who were hospitalized for alcohol poisoning and drug overdoses.
I’m just saying.
Oh, and while he was in London, Kid Pebble gave an interview to The Guardian, and he had this to say about his failed relationship with Pamela Anderson: “I touched the stove, it’s fucking hot, I don’t want to touch it any more.”
I’m English and married to a guy from Georgia, USA. In my experience it’s a hell of a lot easier to avoid dehydration in somewhere like Georgia because liquids are constantly made available. Over here we have increasingly hotter summers and virtually no easily accessible sources of water or other liquids. If you want water in a restaurant, for example, you have to ask for it. So it’s a lot easier to get dehydrated in London than in Phoenix, AZ.
That said, dehydration is one of the major symptoms of over-use of alcohol. So, yeah. Well done, Kid Rock, on over-indulging then failing to be honest about it.
yep….this has booze/dope written all over it!
Dehydrated is the new code word for OD
In Jacksonville, Florida we had a boy die from dehydration a couple years ago, and I’ve passed out from it before (my fault, yes). I know quite a few people who it’s happened to, you just forget, you get real busy and realize you’ve been running around all day and haven’t eaten or had anything to drink all day.
I also know of a lady who died from over-hydration. But she was schizophrenic and had dozens of gallons too much.
@ slouchy: clever observation ^-^
Does being dehydrated require medical attention (assuming alcohol or normal stress induced dehydration and not “oh-shit-there-is-no-water-we’re-in-a-desert-dehydration” or medical issues)?
I mean, the cure is… drink water (and/or electrolytes).
Maybe he was just being a pansy. Maybe he was dizzy and they took him to the hospital to try to get him patched up for the concert.
I like kid rubble instead of kid pebble. Makes me think of Barney Rubble, which he resembles.
The dude had an orgy with the lead singer from Creed, that alone proves he is a major alcoholic and his liver probably exploded. Actually, he probably just was so hung over he needed major liquid infusion and anti nausea drugs. Boy likes to get his party on.
yeah alcohal saps the bod of water, so there you go kid rock! wiskey is not a substitute for water dummy
i’m in phoenix. we went tubing down the salt river this weekend and i watched a chick pass out in line right in front of me. she couldnt even focus on anything around her. yikes!
Just as a side note. I was at the Download festival. When it was announced that Kid Rock would not be performing, the whole crowd cheered.
Dehydrated?? Sick from sleeping with Pam Anderson!

I think this really takes me back, like your blog design too. Is it DPW? ok, good job!
