    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!)

I love you Kid... You are one of the best preformers that I have ever had the pleasure of seeing in concert. I'm sorry for all the stress that the arkansas people have put on you. I think above all else, they felt like I did. I was just so dissapointed and sad that I didn't get to make it to the concert in L.R. It wasnt the money that had me upset. I had looked forwand to seeing you and hearing you play since Christmas. That what had me upset. Its not very often you come to our area, and I was wanting SO bad to be there. Nevertheless I have bought tickets to the Memphis show in March and I hope Ole'Man winter will be long gone. Enjoy the rest of your tour and I will be seeing you in Memphis. We Love You in Paragould, AR

I went to a Kiss concert in Nashville, Tn. in the early 80's in the ice and snow, and it never crossed my mind not to go to the concert, or that they wouldn't show up. It's ROCK N ROLL man! Add Snow and it's even more fun!

I don't know what the hell was said but all I can is that's awesome of Kid to do. Yes we had bad weather have they seen the weather channel....EVERYWHERE has had bad weather it's winter what do you expect. I'm from Northwest Arkansas born and raised and to hear about someone from here sayin shit make's me mad. Were supposed to show hospitality when we have guest's not bitch and moan and want the money back. From the 60 pages that I've read lot's of other people made it to the show, you played, and rocked the shit out. So for the few who couldn't make it then oh well STOP FUCKING BITCHING. I've never been to a Kid Rock concert would love to though so please don't let these assholes keep from coming back here. Maybe you should come up to Northwest Arkansas and play instead of down there where the whiney asses are. Oh and to all of you from detroit no were not used to this much snow. The amount we got is enough for 5 years around here LMAO. But shit happens

Way to stick to your guns Rock! I am sorry I wasn't aware of the show in Little Rock, but if I had tickets you can bet your ass I would have done everything I could have to be there. Let the whiners go somewhere else and whine, they're what's making this country fall apart. Keep rockin' and don't apologize for anything, you did what you had to do.

Kid Rock you are awesome! I love your openness and honesty. You don't kiss ass or suck up to anyone! Why people think that you owe them anything for what you have no control over is insane. Unfortunately miserable people like to spread misery. You EARN your money, you shouldn't be giving anyone any of it. The only thing those winers deserve is a boot in the ass to help them move along on their way!!!! True fans know that ripping people off is not who you are or what you're about. You GIVE, more so than most!

I'm not a fan, never listened to your music and if I did I probably didn't know it was you. I learned about this from the Yahoo News so I decided to read more. I have to say... BRAVO!!!! You went on stage during a snow fall. For me, I'm used to the snow (from Quebec, Canada) so it's a no brainer but to see an artist keep their word like you, to read an artist is going to refund tickets from his pocket ... because of snow. People need to wake up! I don't know many artists who will let the show go on during a snow fall. Maybe if these bitter people spent a winter in Quebec they'd realize not many artists are willing to brave the snow. Anyway... I'm going shopping now. Seems like I have some CD's to buy. Yeah, I buy CD's, I don't download music from the internet. If I'm going to support an artist I'll do it buy getting his/her REAL work!

Hey Bobby, I have seen you in Vail, Colorado in the snow, Grand Junction in the heat and dust, Vegas at the Pearl with Run, Greeley in the rain, Sturgis in the moonlight and will be seeing you this summer at Cheyenne Frontier days and who knows what that will bring! But I know damn well you will SHOW up and rock the muthafuckin' house. Keep doing what you do best, and the true fans will always be there!!!

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you NOT cancelling shows… Hollywood FL will be my 60th Kid Rock Show & with all the flights, hotels ect.. involved It would be a grave disappointment to arrive to no show! I watched the forecast and booked flight 2 days earlier to prevent any chance of delay. People traveling by car? They were not committed to go. I would not give them shit! I had to take 3 planes all with layovers before, but I made it. Their obtuse to what you did to get there! PLEASE stay the way you are and don’t CANCEL!
