I'm so glad that Timmy is ok. Y'all be very careful on the road...Be safe & Keep up the rockin' shows! We saw you in Bossier City & We will be in Memphis to see you again! Without a doubt you put on the BEST SHOW EVER!!! WOW!!! We were so pumped after seeing your show that even after driving 3 hours to get home we still couldn't go to sleep. We are looking forward to the next show!

Dam! I survey cargo containers and trailers for damage and it looks like you're gonna need a new pair of dolly legs and you'll probably want to check axle alignment as well. Glad everyones ok, coulda rolled it.

It's about time for the Kid Rock concert in Louisville and this is what I have to say. When I was born I was Born Free and already needed to Slow my Roll. I will always Care while looking at the Purple Sky, When it Rains. This concert is on friday so God Bless Saturday and I hope it doesn't Collide with sunday. On Monday I will be Flyin' HIgh and I truly love Times Like These. So Rock On my friends or we will be singing the Rock Bottom Blues For the First Time (in a Long Time).

I am glad everyone is ok! Thank you for all you do and have to go through to entertain all your fans! You are a true blue Man and I appreciate you. I flew to Kentuciana to go to the Louisville concert with my Best Friend for her birthday and can't wait. Drive safe and see you in Louisville.

So glad everyone is ok! I must say I was born & raised in New York City & have lived in other states.Lived in Kentucky for 3 years.Truly those people have no clue in how to drive in WINTER WEATHER .We think nothing of driving in a foot of snow & ice.They shut the whole town down for an inch. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING YOUR SELF & TBT at such risk just to make us "THE TRUE FAN`S" happy! DRIVER`S PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY that`s PRECIOUS CARGO you have there!

was this still in arkansas? i heard that there were more than 50 jackknifed semis on just one interstate in Arkansas. glad he's okay. people on here telling others to "learn how to drive" don't understand that the south isn't as prepared as the north when it comes to clearing the streets/interstate properly. even the most experienced wintry weather drivers will find it difficult to drive here.

hey Kid, driving back to tulsa today we saw several semis that had jackknifed...i'm so sorry that happened to you and your crew. Thank you for mentioning your Oklahoma fans during the show in Little Rock. It was my 3rd show, my brother, son, and nephew it was all their first time to see you live; we were on row 8 and never sat down the whole show. Now we are planning to drive to memphis in march. You are the ULTIMATE SHOWMAN. Travel safe. My prayers are with you all! And THANK YOU FOR BEING SO TALENTED, SEXY, AND REAL. Lynn

Glad to hear that Timmy is okay; this weather Sucks! Sadden to read the crap that idiots have written and the nerve they have to ask for a refund! If they were so worried why the heck didnt they take out the insurance on their tickets - this time of year you never know what mother nature has in store. Love your music and the way you stay true to yourself and your son. My first concert was Feb. 1st in Wichita and yes we drove through the storm to get there - well worth it! It was Awesome!
