    It's this simple, If you bought tix to tonights show and can't make it, YOU WILL BE GETTING A REFUND, STRAIGHT OUT OF MY POCKET. I've never ripped any of my fans off, EVER!!! I have also NEVER missed a show. I know there are people who drove here from Memphis and Oklahoma, been in there cars all day driving and dealing with this shitty weather, the same as me and my band have the WHOLE TOUR. You so called "fans" on my website bitchin and moanin and saying i'm greedy, can GO FUCK YOURSELVES, plain and simple. Throw out my cd's and lose my number, I don't want drama kings and queens like yall anywhere around myself, band, crew, family or my fans.

    Thank you to the real fans who not only understand my situation but defended me. It's not easy to tour in these conditions and also be stuck on the road with a teenage son at home and in high school. I make alot of money, no question, but i've never ripped anyone off to do it. I have sacraficed alot to live this dream and play music for all of you, i wouldn't trade it for the world, but the fact remains. To the people who made it too tonights show, I WON'T LET YOU DOWN. Now, time to make a set list and get ready to ROCK. Hope everyone traveling gets here safe!! Kid Rock (straight from the dressing room!)

We drove through crap and snow from Sarnia Ontario to see you in Saginaw on the 22nd of Jan. Those who bitch and complain don't deserve your tickets! I understand those who cannot get through the snow, but its the risk you take living in the north in the winter!!

Thanks for the update dude. We couldn't make it; sorry, I love your music and the performance you put on (this would've been my 4th show to see you), but I have 2 young daughters that are more important to me than risking their parents' well being to drive across the state in icy conditions to see you. I had a feeling that you would do the right thing, and you did. Kudos to you; but I feel, too, that you could've preemptively headed off much of this 'bitchin' and moanin'' by making this announcement hours earlier. This weather event had been predicted days earlier and lasted all day across our state, beginning around 8:00 am. I look forward to seeing you again in concert soon and continuing to buy your music. Rock on.

Looking forward to seein ya in Evansville, IN on March 1!! I'm gonna "Roll On" down to E'ville, wear me some "Blue Jeans and a Rosary". I bet it will be "So Hott", and there will be a "Cowboy" or two there. Probably end up acting "Half Your Age", and remember this "All Summer Long"! By the end of the evening I'm gonna feel "Born Free" "For the First Time (In a Long Time)", Hope I get a "Picture" of that "Cocky" "Lowlife (Livin the High Life)..."Amen"!.... See ya!!

You know what they say Bob..."Cracka's and flies...I despise..the more I know Cracka's..the more I like flies.." Your an amazing person and artist and we *real* fan's appreciate what you do. I bought tickets to the Fan Jam in Grand Prarie and was forced to stay home from the ice and snow to miss it. I don't blame you. I just told my wife that "Only God know's why". Much love to you and your crew baby boy. Keep doin what you do.

I am from AR and I would have given anything to come see you tonight! I knew you would refund the money. I have been to every show and you always thank the fans for spending their hard earned money. I couldn't get there due to weather, but I am going to be in Memphis March12!! Shout out to Shelli....I LOVE YOU....and please don't hate everybody in AR!! ROCK IT OUT AMERICAN BADASS.

The only thing that matters is the safety of EVERYONE. The band, the fans and you. We do not need to hear a tragic crazy horrifing story on the news. It's just not worth it.

I am one of those people that were supposed to go the show tonight. With 24 inches of snow in my yard, kinda hard to make it. The only thing I have to say is your promoter and verizon arena are the ones making you look bad....

You know what ppl, he has been through HELL, and like DIO and Tate, he is genuinely grateful for his fans...and he is right in telling those of you who were "Inconvenienced" to fuck off. The Kids ethic is amazing and he gives his heart and soul, so BACK off all of you wanna be fans...SHEESH....DAMN I remember standing for 2 DAYS in the rain for Floyd tickets, THAT is his caliber and what a true fan would put up with. That he took the time out to post what he did should tell you that.... )O(MSB)O(
