    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!)

Dont let anyone get to you. It is not your fault. You are true blooded Detroit born and raised and WE LOVE YOU FOR IT!! You sacrifice your entire life to be a rock star and to give us fans what we love and that is YOU!! Thank you for all you do. Your true fans love you and you never need to apologize or explain yourself to us! I am so proud of the man you are and how you represent Michigan!! Thank you! We all appreciate you very much. I only wish more people would be proud and represent like you. I also thought that Chrysler commercial should of been you and not Eminem, but I am proud that he "copied" you and stepped it up for Michigan!! I truly love you and please keep rocking and take care of yourself and your son!

Hey brother! You Rocked Columbus! I was completely wowed with your show and the kick ass energy! No way in hell you rip anybody off, ever! I love the honesty too. Good thing about the honesty is you can speak your mind (as you do) and not have to have a single bit of guilt! keep rockin! Did you love the A.D.Farrow/Harley Jacket??

Bob..you are truely an amazing person!!! Obviously we don't know each other. I have been a fan of yours for many many years and have introduced your music to so many of my family and friends and now they are fans (they say as much as me but I say that is impossible). Regardless, I'm not sure what happened but from reading your message it looks like there was some bad weather somewhere and you couldn't make the show. I know and trust me any true fan of yours knows that you would have made the show no matter what...no one can control mother nature. You are an amazing dude and are always true to your fans, I know and your true fans know you appreciate them. I was in Dallas last weekend for the Super Bowl (did I mention I stayed at The Hotel ZaZa too never saw you there but wanted to at least get a picture with you) and saw your VH1 show amazing..oh and by the way I live in MIchigan and went to your 40th Bday bash at Ford Field and also went to Saginaw...did I mention I've seen you at least 20 times!!! You are the best live performer ever!!! No lie and I've been to many many shows. Stay real to who you are!! Don't the the bull shit get to you..there are so many people that are unhappy with thier lives they need to bitch...Yeah you make a lot of money but guess what you make a lot of sacrifices and work hard you DESERVE it!! LOVE You and respect you TONS!! Great Dad and Great Musician!! Keep it up!! Some day drinks at the Wood Shop!!! Don't change who you are!!! You have many many fans!! My iPod plays my Kid Rock playlist on shuffle 24/7....Love Love who you are and what you stand for!!...Not even sure your read these but I sure hope you at least read the possitive ones!!! XOXOXO Sandi

Everything happens for a reason. Life is a bitch sometimes, and in comparison Mother Nature is a sweet little princess. I would say get chur ass to Texas and warm up, but it's cold as shit here too. Stay warm, stay safe and keep at it. I am hoping to see you at the Houston show this spring. Thank you and be very careful out there.

The people that are bitchin and moaning obviously DONT KNOW THE REAL KID ROCK! For anyone to say that you ripped them off must not be a true fan! Shit happens and people need to grow up and deal with it. You give so much back to the community I couldnt believe that someone would actually say you ripped them off! This Flint girl was at you birthday party at the Ford(y) Field and headed to Chicago to see you there, (kinda an encore Detroit show and pre cruise warm up concert) unfortunately missed the Saginaw & GR shows.As far as being greedy I can say your shows are very reasonable compared to what other artist charge, at least you care that people are able to afford to come to your shows and have a hell of a good time!! Just keep doing what your doing and DONT change shit!! See ya in Chi Town and on the M&^%# Boat!!!

As always, "keepin it real". Damn, people, give the man a break, after all he is "a man". He's not God, he can't control the weather. He does his best, always. And he's raising a teenager, shit give him an award for that alone. He doesn't have to rip people off. Bobby: I have never had the prilivege of seeing you live but I will someday, baby, someday. This Michigan girl loves ya. Keep doing what you do and fuck the ones who don't get it.

Hey Bobby, Sorry to hear you are catching flack from "fans". As far me I love your music. Your Bossier City Concert was AWESOME. I loved that you played Bull God. My girlfriend put that song on the radio more than any other song back in 2001. The DJ in Lafayette, La named her the "Bull Goddess". LOL Thanks to you and your family, including the Twisted Brown Truckers for all that is sacrificed for us. My girl friend and I have gone to 12 concerts total and you have never disappointed. My nephew's who are 2 & 4 ask me when I visit if I am going to see Kid Rock. I even have them saying, "Cowboy Baby". See you soon.

Thank you for offering us a refund! Now we can buy tickets to your Memphis show!! We were taking our soon to be 16 year old son to the concert tonight in Little Rock for his 16th birthday gift! It would have been his first concert!!!!! Thank you again for the refund! We will hopefully see you soon!

We tried to make it to your concert from Marvell, Arkansas. My husband bought me tickets for my jan 31st birthday. I have been so excited...Then the bottom fell outta the sky. We made it all the way to Interstate 40, then we couldn't see anymore. Semi trucks were in the ditches and a state trooper even turned around and went the wrong way back up to the ramp. We tried but could not risk it. we have a 15 year old at home. I hope that we can use these tickets for your Memphis show...I love your music and am sad in Marvell :( rock on kid...teres'a & david hamilton marvell, arkansas...
