    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!)

Im sorry but I cant help myself....here it goes. IF you buy a concert ticket, any concert ticket thru ticketmaster I was given the option of a little thing called INSURACE ON THE TICKET FOR UNEXPECTED AN UNPREDICITABLE SITUATION'S. You file a claim and get your money back. Im not 100% positive about this situation but im sure it's probably covered. UNLESS YOU TO DAMN CHEAP TO PAY $7.00 FOR THE INSURANCE....JUST SAYIN

Well said!!!! Your true fans know that by you going on with the show was about integrity and professionalism. You and your crew took a lot of risk soldiering through that extreme weather for the sake of following through on your commitment and it just reaffirms my belief that you are a stellar entertainer and artist. BTW- just noticed the new album is available on vinyl...SWEET!...just ordered it and can't wait for it to arrive.

Great show Wednesday night. Best concert that I have ever been to! I don't think its right for you to refund anyone. I told several people I would drive my tractor to see the show if need. I live an hour away. It only took me 15 min more to get there!!!

I admire and appreciate your terrific work ethic as well as your generous refund offer, Kid. Thanks for being a famous rocker that I don't mind my kids looking up to.

You alright Kid. Ya know Billy Joe Shaver once offered me and my date a refund out of his own pocket for a second show in Memphis that the promoter canceled. I refused but I always admired him for the gesture. Same for you for your "show must go on" attitude. You and your entourage have a safe tour. Pimpin' aint easy. The best to you and your family. Marv

Kid, Thank You for doing what you do. I, personally, support your work ethic and wish people would quit whining about every little thing that doesn't go their way. I am saddened for the people that couldn't make the show, happy for the ones that did, as you stated, I know you will make things right. I will be getting tix when you come down around my area. (Hopefully there will not be a Hurricane. LOL) Regards, CombatDoc Pensacola, Florida

Maybe those drama kings and queens should experience the world some. They need to see what real snow and bad weather is. Let them come to Michigan where we appreciate your work. We Michiganders have plenty of tow trucks to pull their dumb asses out of the ditches. The tow drivers won't give them back their money because of bad weather conditions.... You went way past what you needed to do Kid. ROCK ON!!!! Not all southern people are cry babies but the ones that never went any farther than 50 miles from where they were born can sure put out a mess of tears. I can say that because I lived down south for many years. It is good to be back in Michigan.

All these "fans" who are complaining that the show wasn't cancelled are the same people that would be on here complaining if he did cancel. You can't please everyone and kudos to kid rock for not missing the show for all the fans who braved the weather.

Really??? The Man risked his life to make sure he was there to perform for his fans, knowing that people would travel to see him....How can anyone say he is being greedy by doing what he was paid to do??? He didnt pull a Superstar attitude and keep his ass in a hotel room where he would be warm and safe....What is wrong with you people? He was paid to perform and he did!!!! If he wouldn't have performed you would still be bitching...grrrr people get your heads out of your asses and think before you speak!

Kid Rock you are freakin awesome and amazing! I wouild like to say the concert last night in Little Rock was one kickass show, that is the best concert i had ever seen, F~ck those drama king and queens they all knew how the weather was going to be. My husband and i are from chicago born and raised moved here to Arkansas 4yrs ago it's not your fault this state don't have the equipment nor the man power to clean the roads properly, living in chicago we knew how the roads here would be so we booked a hotel room from 2/8 - 2/10 just so we wouldn't miss your show, it was a x-mas gift i bought my husband and i be damned if we were going to miss your show cause this state can't clean the roads properly, common sense is all it takes alot of these people sure showed us how they don't have it. They should take a driving course in the northern states around the winter months!!! Thanx's for the kickass concert, your fan always and forever. We luv u kid for who u are we hope to see u again..

You ROCKED the house last night in Little Rock!!!!!!! We made a six hour trip (that normally takes 2 1/2 hours) to see your show and it soooooo worth it. Your show last night was GREAT!!!!!! Piss on all the cry babies........ Thanks for coming to LR and hope you keep your TRUE fans on concert schedule in the future.
