    Show Update

    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!)

My dad was a musician & songwriter in the Nashville & Muscle Shoals area in late 60's, 70's & 80's. I understand the sacrifices the artist & family go through to share such a great gift with the world. It's ironic that the music makes a connection to people's human side.Yet the very same people forget that's because you are only human too. Those shit stirrers just don't get it since they are bound with selfishness. I really admire your promise to make it right. That's real & awsome. When the lights go down & you lay your head down after the show you are straight man. You'll keep your word cause that's what your about. Bonus: It will be like giving the finger personally to all those fake ass bitches running their mouths. Kid I'm sending you peaceful thoughts & blessings of safe travel. P.S. My dad died 6yrs ago but I have the gift of his demos from Fame studio and it's a comfort he left for us. He's always here. Thanks, Tina White

I appreciate the statement you made “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.” So the question to you, how are you going to insure the refund? By requesting, we send you our address and proof of the unused ticket…, or will ticket master reimburse us…or just how do you plan to reimburse us, because to me talk is cheap. I pray you and everyone else that were able to go to the concert tonight make it wherever you are going tonight.

I'm a wedding photographer...I work extremely hard and will bend over backwards for all of my clients. But I've come to realize you can't please everyone. Your 40th birthday party rocked in Detroit! Thanks for having us! Michele

My husband and I have been to every show in NC except one... last year due to a family reunion which was out of state (killed me to miss you!!!)... This year, your show in Greensboro, NC, will be missed due to unemployment (I am going into withdrawls at this point - lol)... But the point of all this is, you are a true artist and performer who does everything from the heart and soul as a true artist should!!! I do remember this, at EVERY show, you thank everyone for spending OUR hard-earned money to come to see YOU!!! You are the true meaning of humble and grateful, you appreciate what you have and you know without US, the fans there would be no YOU!!! Keep doing what you do best - YOU!!! Keep it real and your blessings will always come back threefold!!! Much love - The Jackson Crew

well tonites show has NOTHIN 2 do with me, but im still a fan. ive braved some pretty hardcore shit 2 see u & 4 naught; & 2 add insult 2 injury when i commented about it other fans jumped on me & made accusations as if i had done something wrong. this would in turn lead 2 a combative situation that didnt have 2 be; point is i was misdirected over & over until it got me more & more lost from seeing the show & now im gunshy from commuting 2 see ANY shows. but why i cant discuss it with fellow lovers of my blissful bluesy Bobby without gettin beat on like a second-hand rug? i would NEVER BLAME KID ROCK or any of his partnerships that MAPQUEST & my AT&T GPS dont know how 2 direct me, nor does ANYONE IN THE STATE THRU WHICH IM DRIVING. still has NOTHING TO DO WITH KID ROCK OR TBT & i never said it did. (however the venue was less then accomadating, did not fullfill their offers & very callously declined 2 do anything in redemption.) im still a drama queen tho. been born that way, alwayz was & alwayz will be. still LOVE MY KID ROCK & TBT & ALWAYZ WILL. unless u divorce me as a fan now just 4 addin my 2 cents, coz i think its worthwhile & i think i should have a right. thats the type of USA we all know & Love, isnt it?

Thanks KID ~ Straight-Up !!! People oughta 'Count their Blessings' :) Your Health needs to be #1 ~ otherwise You can't take care of your son - plain and simple. Heard a story once, 'bout a man and his son flying in a plane. They ran into turbulence. The O2 masks dropped. However, only one was functional for the man and his son. The Dad grabbed the mask, but there wasn't much time.. .What should he do first? ... hold it on his son, ... or himself ... ? ... ~ ~ Himself first, otherwise who would be there to hold the mask for his son? You are a Blessing, Bob ... some people r just in the dark. Thanks for watch'n-out for the fans who care, who avoid the drama and who respect You :) Take Care Kid :) XOXO ~ your friend as always, Danette :)

Hey Kid! Nice to see you safe and warm. Ignore the assholes who are giving you shit. You are anything but greedy. I'm not crazy about you saying "fuck you" to people who bought tickets to your concert, but it's called FREE SPEECH, people. You can say whatever you want on your own website. The weather is fucked up here in Nashville right now, too. I hope it is better by next Friday so I can be sitting in section 3, row 8, rocking out to my favorite artist...but if you are going to be in danger on the road trying to get here, I will get over it! I missed you last year (for the first time in 5 years), and I am REALLY wanting to see you this year...but it is NOT worth you dying for!! Stay safe and I hope to see you on the 18th!! If you have to cancel because of the weather, I will get my money back (because I know that you are not greedy) and hope that you reschedule soon...I miss you!! But you making it to a concert in this fucked up weather is NOT as important as you (and your band) LIVING, so we can see you MANY MORE YEARS!! Tell your driver to DRIVE SAFE and I hope to see you all next week!! If you make it, look in section 3, row 8, for the redhead yelling her head off!! And, to "Erin"...get the fuck over it...a TRUE fan would not want Kid or any of his crew to get hurt or killed in this weather just so you can hear a concert. Shut your trap. You'll get your money back...use it to buy a Justin Bieber ticket, whiner. Keep Rocking, KID!! Susan

People are just down right fucking nasty these days! You are an very gracious artist and he'll you're being nicer about it then I would be! I live North of Atlanta and it's snowing here again! Those so called nasty fans ain't fans at all! Dum asses is what they are! You and your crew be careful put in the weather and God bless!

Well said, I have seen you three times in Little Rock and loved every one of them. Thanks for being you! Safe travels to you and the crew.

I gotta say that being born and raised in Michigan, I lived in Cnetral Arkansas back in the early 80's when they got a "blizzard". I thought it was hilarious that the state shut right down cuz of a couple inches of snow. Trust me when I say that you DO NOT want those people on the roads! The ex-in-laws are from Arkansas and came to Michigan to live and scared the hell outta me in the winter. BTW my husband and I saw you in Saginaw and loved every minute of it. I got a few good pics, but it was frickin hot cuz we were pretty close to the pyro. I love the fact that you keep it real and stand up for Michigan. Like you say I was born in Michigan and I'll fuckin die in Michigan! Even if I am freezin my ass off this year! Come to Mid Michigan pansy asses where we got so much snow that they have to dump it in the Saginaw River cuz you gotta pull half way into the road before you can see if anything's coming.

1st things 1st...you are writing ME from your dressing room...then why the hell are you dressed?? I wanna see skin :~) Let those so called fans bitch...it will inspire you to write a new song!! I'm in Houston and have been trying to nail down a road trip to come to one of your shows in a near by state. I was glad to see you added the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo to your tour...but it won't be as intense as your full blown concert. I was asked by 5 different groups of friends to see you at the Rodeo...I finally accepted with a friend that has the high priced seats but I started getting nervous that I was gonna get screwed and not get to see you so I was at the computer come when tickets went on sale and bought me 4 "backup" tickets unfortunately they are in the TOP of the stadium but I know you will look into that camera and wink at me through the monitor....ha ha ha!! Hopefully I'll get the good seats and I can give the "backup" tickets to friends that were not quick enough on the draw to get KID tickets!! When it comes to you I don't like taking chances, I gotta know I'm gonna be there to see you rock down the house!! My best concert memories come from your concerts!!

Hey Kid!!! Saw you a few weeks ago in Saginaw & you rocked it, as usual! We had a great time.... I see you everytime I can when you hit Saginaw or the "D" & am never disappointed. My kids dig you too. I love your attitude, everything you stand for & the way you support Michigan. You are by far my favorite performer ~ Keep on keepin it real Bobby. Love, from Saginaw

I didn't have plans to attend this show, but I have a lot of respect for you as an artist. I just have to say that I'm ashamed at how rude and demanding so many of the people from my state have been on this issue. What happened to southern hospitality, eh? You've never let your fans down. You're a stand up, honest guy, and have always seemed like one of the most down to earth artists out there. I truly hope that the sour attitudes that have been displayed don't keep you from returning to this area. Stay safe traveling in the nasty weather! :)
