Devil With A Cause

Whatta guy!

Hometowner Kid Rock and his Made in Detroit apparel line are working with Wayne State University to help start a college scholarship fund for area music students.

The Detroit clothing company will create 2,500 limited edition T-shirts bearing the school's name and the "Made in Detroit" logo that features a factory worker in silhouette, carrying a large wrench.

Wayne State hopes to raise $25,000 from the T-shirt sale initially, university spokeswoman Francine Wunder said.
