    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!)

Kid- Your REAL fans out here are just as sick of all the bitchin' and moanin' as you are. We're the ones who buys our tickets and CD's and just enjoy the hell out of anything and everything you do---and have better things to do with our lives than find something wrong with EVERYTHING in their lives. You couldn't have said it any better---IF THEY CAN'T SEE YOUR HEART--THEY MUST BE BLIND!!! I, myself, had to stay outta the chat rooms because of all the negative assholes who are on there stirrin' up shit all day long. And I hate it because you have some really cool excellent fans on there too. Please don't give up on us because of the ASSHOLES!! Although I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to you to see all the shit! It infuriates ME! Just like you said--they can go fuck themselves!! I'll be right there in NashVegas next Friday night----and if something happens I KNOW it's not because you didn't want to be there! Please hang in there----ignore the assholes---and remember how much WE love your ass----and everything you do!! I don't think you have any idea how much good influence you have in the world-----you SURE do in my world!! No matter how bad my day is going----I can listen to one of your songs----or an interview----or see a new picture---and it MAKES MY DAY!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA----AND GOD BLESS YOU!!!!

lionesse65 says (A moment ago) Tell them like it is Bob, the true fans, die hard fans like myself know that you do everything you can to keep your prices as low as possible to give everyone the opportunity to see your shows. Dont listen to the BITCHIN AND MOANIN they do it to get attention, their lives are lackin attention, either that, or they are just plain and simply miserable people that will never be happy no matter if you were to bend over and kiss their ass. LOL. some people are just plain assholes. I know, as well as your true fans that you are an amazing entertainer, thinkin of others before yourself, and always trying to help out where its needed. You have raised an amazing son, and people need to realize you are only human, you have your life at home just like the rest of us. Bob keep doin what your doin, I am proud to say I am a die hard fan and will be for life. My tattoo is my proof and damn proud of it. Take care my friend, be safe but have fun doin it. your canadian friend Debbie

Please consider doing this for your Wichita, Ks show as well. We had 19 inches of snow / ice and were unable to make it. We truly want to see your show but have already purchased tickets we were unable to use. If you were to do this we could catch ou in KC on the 25th or somewhere else on tour. Keep rockin and hope tonight goes well.

True fans never talk shit or turn on you. I love your music and that fact that you've sacrificed so much to become where you are today. I sat in the Clarkston Woodshop Monday Night the 7th. My family was all having a conversation about you and how much we love your music and about your new beer, also how you've given a chance to one of my friends to become a country singer is awesome. It just shows the kind of man you are and that you DO give Back. After all of this talking with my family... Here you are walking in behind me. It was awesome just to eat dinner in the same room with one of my all time and hometown artists. Now as bad as I wanted to come up and actually meet you in person I didn't want to bother you and the guests that you were with. You're a great man and a GREAT artist!! All these so called "FANS" Need think before they start complaining!! I hope to be able to meet you at the Clarkston Woodshop sometime here soon… OR ill just see you at your up coming concert!!

Hey Kidd my husband and I saw you for the first time last night in Bossier City and you were so awsome. We drove from Abilene Texas and just got back home. The long drive was worth every minute. We truly had the best time ever!!!! We were in the Horseshoe last night when you and JJ came in. You were soooo nice to your fans. We were playing craps at the table next to you and would have loved to roll the dice with you. Maybe next time!!!

I took my 17 yr. old Grandson to see you for his first concert ( Tupelo,MS) And we both left as life long fans. I know the sacrifices you have to make to be away from family just to entertain people and have great respect for the hard work you do. Keep on rocking, Kid, and Don't let the bull-shit get in your way. That would be like me wanting you to refund money, because I'm going to be out of town when you are here. Just do your thing and let the rough end drag. This 62 yr. old Great-Grandma will stand up for you anytime.

Just want to say, "Thank you!" We really appreciate you taking care of your fans. We hate that we were unable to attend, but hope those that did had a great time. And, we REALLY appreciate that we will be refunded the money. Thanks again! Hope the rest of the tour is problem free.

Your shows hold an energy that compares to nothing...I want you safe, no question!! You seem to be very real, you are so versatile && very talented!! I didn't have tickets to any upcoming shows, but if I did, there is no way I would put myself in danger && there is no way I would want you to put yourself in harms way. There is always tomorrow...stick to your guns && your real fans are going to be there for you no matter what! Lots of love from PA. XXO

The Man, The Legend, The American Bad Ass! You are one class act!! I consider myself to be your number one fan. I have seen you in concert 17 times and will be seeing you and Jamey Johnson next week. I sailed on Chillin the Most 1 & can't wait til Chillin the Most 2. I would stand in line in a hurricane or blizzard just to have the chance to be in your presence. Your real fans know you are the real deal. Haters gonna hate so fuck them motherfuckers!!! You said it the best years ago, "If you don't like Kid Rock you can suck my dick!" I will ALWAYS be a loyal fan til the day I die. KID ROCK FOR PRESIDENT!!!

Never missed a show huh? http://www.kidrock.nl/News/?p=1522 The only thing most people were trying to do was find out if the show was on, or canceled. And if canceled how to get a refund. That's all. Me I live an hour away from Little Rock with good road conditions. Add snow, Ice, Hwy dept not equipped for this weather, other drivers, jack-knifed rigs, that trip now becomes at least 3 hours. Some of us had to work today, slide home, and make a decision as to try to go, or look for refunds. Word we were getting is it was ticket master making the call. I chose to stay home after I got the word the show was on for sure and not going to be canceled, because there was no way I was going to safely make it there in that short amount of time. Most of the people from Oklahoma and Memphis drove in before the weather hit and/or had rooms in Little Rock. And since we now know that is was you that was making the call. Why did you not have someone from your crew (P.R. person) do a media release to all the radio stations that it was you making the call. Hell I would have took the day off work and got a room in little rock as well. Do not get me wrong, I like your music, and will be more than happy to come and see your show again and again. But now back to the never missed a show and criticizing those who chose not to come see you. Again follow the link and you have canceled a show. So don't piss down my back and try to tell me its raining!
