    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!)

Dude - I'm a mid-40's dude from the D area and have never been the biggest fan of yours, until recently. Your honesty with your viewpoints, respect for other artists of differing genres, willingness to push your musical ability and ambitions...and THIS POST right here, have changed that. Count me a fan, brother. You ROCK! :) Eddie B

Rock on Bob! I braved the weather and froze my ass off to see your show in Wichita, and it was worth it, cuz you kicked ass up on the stage. Your band was still on the bus traveling from timbuktu Oklahoma, but the show went on, you and Jamey Johnson improvised and put on one helluva show. Then I gotta give much props to the Twisted Brown Truckers for riding all that way on a bus and goin right on stage and tearin the house down. Two fuckin thumbs way up!

Keep 'On Rockin !!! Bobby, don't get discouraged. The weather is bad all over the United States. None of us can control Mother Nature. Them who are complaining & bitchin are just selfish,spoiled & arrogant. They should have got a ticket to someplace outta the country, maybe Egept. LOL. You stay safe & warm out on those roads. See ya when you get back to Detroit !! Lov Ya, Hugzz & Kisses ~ Kathi

Bob, in times like these, you find out who your friends and TRUE fans are!!!! All those bitchin and groaning are NOT TRUE FANS; only wanna be’s ! Anyone with HALF A BRAIN knows that the weather has been terrible this winter, AND, that you do everything humanly possible to make sure you deliver your best; you always have and always will! Hell, the weather stopped me from making it to your Birthday Bash and I didn’t get pissed and rant and rave; I was very depressed?, I wanted to be there but I did not blame it on you or even God for that matter, and I did not ask anyone for a refund, ask Brian. At any rate, there was nothing I could do; NO ONE can control the weather! As for “You giving them their money back out of your pocket” DON’T! If they bought their ticket from a ligit source, they can get it back through them, if they didn’t, not your problem! I have MANY tickets framed with the rest of my KR collection that were not used (most because I bought 2 just to get the seat or standing place I wanted?!) I could have sold them, but I put them in the frame on the wall. There are very few things in life that irritate the hell out of me or that I can not stand nor tolerate: Fake people, Wanna Be’s, Liars, Thief’s, Cheaters, and those who LOVE DRAMA, and I have seen them all for the last several months, here on the computer and in person! I have seen the TRUE colors of soooo many! Anyway, I apologize for this being so long, but I received an email, read what was going on here, tried to get back to school work, but knew I had to “free my mind” of this so I can concentrate. Trying my best to get a ticket to see ya on Saturday in SC, but if not, I’ll see ya on the boat?. Oh, I LOVE all that you had to say to those who are bitchin?! I hope you all stay safe out there on the road, and I am always praying for the safety and health of you all. Peace n Luv, Corine

You are one commendable man. People know the weather has been bad and they still bought tickets, this is a chance these people took, nobody forced them to buy tickets! How many musicians, like yourself, in this situation would brave the horrible weather to perform and give a FULL REFUND to those who cannot attend? My hats off to you Bob! You just earned allot of respect from fans and non-fans alike! I hope you can make it to Pennsylvania for a show sometime, my wife and I have been waiting and watching the Bryce Jordan Center and other places, hope to see you soon Bro!

KID I think you are right but ya could have said it in a different way like had this been an NHL game the teams would not look around arena and go well we only have half a crowd tonight guess we will postpone this one, no they would have played the game and thoses who did not make well they are just out. I dont think you owe anybody anything except next time around schedule them for the summer.

Bobby, Get out of that cold weather and come out to the west coast. We are having great weather here in Redding, California. Born Free is such a great CD, been playing it every day. Come on out to Redding, do a show and then let take my Bass Boat out on Lake Shasta. Then top it off with some good home made BBQ. Herb, and some good strong drink. Till then , may the Good Lord, God Bless you, as you keep Rockin' On. Mark Dancinghawk Kunde AKA Father Stone (dancinghawk@charter.net)

You tell em Bob!! What dumb basterds who can't understand this situation. You don't need fans like that. Piss on em!! I think my favorite saying would apply here: FUCK YOU YOU FUCKIN' FUCKS!!!! Keep doing the great things you do -- us true fans will always back you Bob. Love, Your biggest Fan! Mary Bryan

atta way Kid Rock! i agree 100%, there are to many people bitching and whining about the small stuff in life..TIME TO WAKE THE HELL UP PEOPLE! Kid Rock is a true gentleman, no matter what his lyrics are, he has done so much for charities and other things, and if you can't handle not being able to make it to the show, try next time, you cannot expect an act from god like the shitty winter EVERYONE has had to deal with in one way or the other!!! Yes, I am a Kid Rock fan, but that isn't why i am posting this, i am posting this because you whinny bitching "fans" need to take a hike!!! Grow up, or get the fuck out!

I live in Wichita, KS and we had the same kind of weather here on the day of his show 2/1....lots of snow and -15º below wind chills. The show went on, and I gotta say, that was one of the best shows. Jamey Johnson helped him for the first hour waiting on his stranded band to get from Tulsa. They had been on their bus for 24 hours straight trying to make it to the show. When they got there, they just came up on stage and took over the instruments from Jamey's band just like they do it every day....and played for another hour! I am so glad he didn't cancel. NO ONE had the show that we did. Greedy = no, wanting to be there for his fans = YES.

Personally, I know you do the best you can and I love you. Lady Gaga had a mess in London trying to get to her show and they even arrested some of her drivers for driving over the 24 hour limit. Keep on rockin' Kid. That's what you do best. And screw the rest as they say. Wish I could have met you here in Fort Worth. I live in Dallas but weather was bad and I was short on cash. Keep on rockin'! You will never lose this fan.

Kid, I live in Oxford, MI. We are practically neighbors. During the blizzard two weeks ago I went to the store for a gallon of milk. I already had two in the fridge. : ) That's how we roll baby.

"I have also NEVER missed a show." Oh really? What about the Time you refused to go on at Download festival in 2007. You missed a show then. 40,000 people/fans waiting for you to go on and you refused because they didn't have a couch or what not. Regardless of your reasons you're still a liar, the fact is you did miss a show. I know because i was one of them

I cannot even believe that people would dare to complain about this! Since when does Bob Ritchie control the weather? Since when does Bob Ritchie let fans down? Never, that's when! He & his whole show are facing the same challenges and then some! This under-employed teacher would give a kidney to be there trying to make it that show, whatever the weather! Finances just won't allow it! Any true fan knows Kid Rock And TBT Band do not disappoint! Meanwhile, if Junior needs a tutor/teacher to keep his education on track while you are on the road, I am willing to serve! Please be safe and well and I will continue to hope I can afford tickets when you will come to Pennsylvania (or somewhere nearby)! PEACE & LOVE! Respectfully, Stacy
