    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 I am a long time fan. Love your music, "talkin bout somebody that sings and speaks straight from inside" I am seeing you in KC and saw you at the CMT awards in Nashville. Dont pay any attention to those a-holes, they are probably the ones that make the pizza delivery boy come in 15 in of snow too. See you in KC Roll on

“If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But...if it's real, you'll feel it” I think this quote resume the situation Kid Rock is real and honest. If you are a real fan you know it ;-)

It's always hard for an generous man to be called greedy and for an honest man to be called dishonest. I know you are generous and honest and hope you won't let the accusations distract you from what's true. Have a great day dude!

Either way someone was going to be unhappy. I understand the safety issue, but use common sense. Don't go if you don't feel you can make it. You don't think it hurts to read that ppl think they are getting ripped off, throwing out the CD's, etc? KR doesn't operate that way, and if you didn't realize that before, now you know.

Bobby, I was one of the many who couldn't come last night. First let me say that although I live in the south now, I'm Mid Michigan born and raised. Up home, we drive in 6" if snow with our eyes closed and hands tied behind our back - because we do it about 5 months out of the year. Down in the south, people don't typically deal with this kind of weather. I've been in Arkansas 20 years now and have seen this much snow come this fast on one other occasion. So when it does happen, they roll up the streets and shut everything down; and with no extensive fleet of plow/sand/salt trucks, the roads stay rough a little longer. Many roads were actually closed down yesterday. But closed or not, you combine rough roads with inapt winter drivers and it's bad times in the making baby. Props to you for being generous enough to offer refunds to those who couldn't attend. That's a testament to the kind of person you are. That having been said, I have mad respect for you and the band because you did your part and put on your show, as promised. So as far as I'm concerned, you can keep my money - YOU EARNED IT. And as for me, I'll be rollin' on over to Memphis to see my favorite hometown "Kid" rock it out on March 12th for MY 40th birthday! Keep on keepin' it real amigo - and be safe out on these damn southern roads today.

Man, Kid, There are some real assholes in this world & they are clueless. Your real fans appreciate what you sacrifice to bring your music to them. I've never had the honor myself, but I sure will some day. Keep rockin. xoxo

I wasn't a fan when I bought my ticket to the LR show. I was going with some friends who are fans. We decided not to go because it was dangerous, despite what people who got there may say. I think it was foolhardy not to postpone and reschedule. I don't think that would have been a failure on your part. I also appreciate the refund, not because you think you are being noble but because it is the right thing to do. The "fuck you" to everyone is childish. You had a chance to make me a fan yesterday but you didn't.

Highways were shut down all over Arkansas. There were numerous multi-car pileups around Little Rock and two fatalities on Arkansas roadways. Schools and businesses were closed. Authorities were advising people not to drive unless it was an emergency. This isn't Michigan. We're not equipped to handle massive snow storms. Fans were given the choice of risking their lives to come to the show or losing money. I understand "the show must go on," but the responsible thing would have been to reschedule. Artists, promoters and venues can't control the weather, but they can control whether or not people should risk injury or death to attend. Telling fans to go F themselves because they were upset over having to choose between you or their families is pretty appalling.

Don't sweat the small stuff. You will never be able to please everyone. Some people just don't have the ability to see anything other then the negative. Sad I think!! Saw you in Toronto a few years back and you still rank very high on my list of bands that actually give the fans the value of their money. 2+ hours of phenomenal entertainment. The only other band I have seen that I would rate the same is Metallica. Enjoy the rest of your tour. I am sure your true fans will as well. Travel safe!!

Dearest Kid, If you ever are in need of a Public Relations ace (not that you aren't doing a perfect job on your own) I could make myself available. I live in Lansing and am a hardcore fan. I was at your birthday party and you gave it all. Stay safe while you and your band travel. Much love, Tess
