    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!)

some people have nothing better to do than bitch about things that are out of everyones control. People need to realize how much time and work goes into tours and concerts, the performers and their crews have to deal with the weather just like everyone else. Bobby, head out west to the Oregon coast, we're having some unusally awesome weather right now, and if it changes, we sure as hell won't be blaming you!!! See you on the boat for round two!!!!!!

KR...You live your life on your own terms and at no one else's expense....your voice is always your own and I appreciate your honesty and candor...you are the real deal... F anyone who can't see that ! Thanks for always putting on a quality show without ripping good people off on merchandise and ticket sales....I've been to several of your concerts...and have never been even slightly disappointed!

The greedy people are your fans. With greed comes selfishness, and so sorry, but we want you to be just for us, with us and think of nothing else but us, sad really. We all need to take just a minute and realize that as your fans we need to be here to support not just your music but you and your wealthfare. To all the road warriors Be Safe and God Bless...

Kind of sexy when your mad- LOL Remember we love you and you, your great band and crew are worth every penny. Need help with a teenager at home you let me know. Raised a few so I know the games, how to cook, how to do laundry. Spring is around the corner- we can do this bad weather this week no problem. Everyone just put on your big kid panties! God Bless America! and be thankful you are in it.

Man I like your style! The weather around this area has been bad for a while and those of us who are from northern areas or do a lot of driving know you have to go with the flow. Unfortunately, this area is not equipped to handle these situations as well as other areas and anyone who has been in the south should know that by now. I'm hoping for good weather in Nashville for next week's concert but if this mess continues, I will do my best to get to the concert. However, blaming the artist, team, etc. is pathetic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A true fan would go through hell or high water to see you in concert anyway.As for me it would be for lack of money. I'm praying for a miracle,Because I would love to see in concert in Greensboro at the end of this month. Hell I would walk from Fayetteville in the snow to see you.I,ve got all your cds but haven't seen you in concert since you were in Fayetteville years ago before my daughter was born. She's 7 and loves her some Kid Rock too. She wants to hear All Summer Long on the way to school everyday. She knows the song by heart. Don't let the drama kings and queens spoil your day. YOU ARE AWESOME! Your #1 fan from Fayetteville,N.C. Keep on Rocking

A strong man doesn't surround himself only with those who agree with him~ instead he keeps those who will be honest and tell him the truth even if it isn't popular! It is wrong to tell ANY fan to fuck himself~ just because he dared complain about having tickets to a show that he couldn't get to~ due to serious weather conditions. It isn't wrong to expect something when you have paid for it~ it isn't like those who had purchased tickets were asking for a handout~ With the attitude of fuck you~ I don't need you~ you come across as an asshole who is greedy~ you do need fans~ especially those who do spend money on tickets and CD's, and damn sure don't need to offend ~ just because they chose not to risk traveling to one of YOUR concerts in severe weather conditions~ that is what a responsible parent does~ minimize risks because we are parents~ you get that!! I am not saying you don't do great things, but when you put shit like this response~ you are off the mark~ and wrong ~ everything you said could have been said without offending everyone!

Some peolpe don't get it. If things don't work out the way THEY expect then they start bitchin and moanin. You said it best when you said those people can go fuck themselves. I hope everyone has a kick-ass time at your shows this year. Unfortunately since tics for the Atlanta show went on sale at a crappy time financially for me and the wife this will be the first KR show I have ever missed. OH well I can always kick back,get toasted and listen to the cd anytime....want to drop by and hang out...lol. Keep on kickin ass and forget about the fair weather fans!!

Thank you for your response. People forget that you are just a person with a job like everyone else. For every idiot that shot off his mouth, there are twenty fans who didn't. Please don't avoid Arkansas in the future because of them. May God bless you and keep you safe when you pack up and move on to the next show.

Your TRUE fans know that you wouldn't rip them off....or they bloody well should! Maybe it's the heat of the moment and the fact they are so upset they missed the show. I know I would be upset at missing a performance of yours but to accuse you of ripping off your fans when the situation itself is totally out of anyone's control - is just ludicrous. Calm down everyone...the circumstances are beyond anyone's control and your anger really should not be directed at KR...leave the guy alone - he didn't cause the weather for pete sakes!

...the word oxymoron comes to mind because if they are you're "fan" and know how you are...it was no need in you using your valuable time to type/post this in the 1st place...*note*...the oxymoron word just popped up in my head...i'm really not sure what it means...
