Over the weekend, as part of the Black Crowes' "Southern Hospitality Tour" along with Whiskey Myers, Crowes lead singer Chris Robinson tried to shut down the patriotic Tampa crowd and instead watched a steady stream of concertgoers leave mid-set rather than listen to his woke nonsense.
During the show, according to TMZ, a screen showed the band’s crow mascot as Uncle Sam, which sparked “USA” chants from the crowd.
Robinson seemed miffed by the patriotic outburst and snidely lectured the crowd, saying, “Thanks for the geography lesson.”
As the chants continued, he added, “I don’t know what you have to be so proud of right now.”
Watch here.
Robinson was met with a torrent of boos, and a noticeable wave of fans began streaming toward the exits.

He doubled down and lectured people who spent their hard-earned money to enjoy music, not a woke lecture from a millionaire celebrity, and told them, "Some of us are not afraid. And we most assuredly are not f***ing ignorant.”
One man, who claimed to be at the show, shared his experience on Facebook saying, "The Black Crowes were excellent right up until the crowd chanted USA USA after seeing a Black Crowe character wearing an Uncle Sam Red White & Blue Top Hat on the Jumbotron. Chris Robinson replied……Thanks for the geography lesson….I don’t know what your so proud of right now……”
"The crowd Booed and Booed…..he called us ignorant MF’s and stated 'Boo all you want you ignorant MF’s……Some of us have class……and we’re not afraid.'"
Black Crowes and Chris Robinson music does indeed suck.
I am always sickened when someone throws a beer bottle at a musician and it hits them in the face but I would not have mourned much if this had happened for this ilk.
I’m old enough to remember when “tar and feathers” were still the price...
At least Whiskey Myers is opening the show. So if your going you will see one good band at least.
Yeah, he seemed to be all about himself back in the day. He definitely had a sweet girl though.
,,, there’s other bands to listen to. Nothing worse than a missionary dressed up as a gigmeister. Leave this sort of sh#t to Springsteen.
The Black Crows had a number of hits in the early 1990s, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shake_Your_Money_Maker_(album).
They peaked then but did a series of live concerts with Jimmy Page in 1999/2000.
I have it on good authority that they’ve stolen songs. Page parted with the Black Crows because they were insufferable..see wardaddy’s 70%+ fact validated here - https://ultimateclassicrock.com/jimmy-page-black-crowes-tour/.
When I saw The Who last year, The Joe Perry Project opened. The Crows’ singer and anti-American Chris Robinson sang. He was meh at best. Joe Perry and the rest of the band rocked.
This is a definition of "class" I have never heard before.
This may turn out to be another Dixie Chicks fiasco................
How ironic. He’s behaving this way during their
“Southern Hospitality Tour”?
Maybe he never really knew what the phrase
Southern Hospitality means.
Clue: It’s not just another way to describe
Southern Comfort, that fine Whiskey from New Orleans.
The Who was supposed to be the first concert I ever attended, back in 1979 after I got out of the Navy. But the week before, all those fans got trampled to death, they cancelled the concert, and I never saw them.
Actually real crows are very cool birds. They monitor hawks that are seeking to kill other birds ( i like hawks as well) the have interesting calls. Two or three differnt types of cackles.
This loser Robinson is on his 4th marriage. Kate Hudson was number 2. I’m sure Kate’s step father Kurt Russel who is no lefty has his opinion of said loser.
Their music sucks
^^^^This
👊
You’re welcome. I thought it sounded weird, but I’ve only heard of the band’s name. I have no idea about their songs or them. And now I know that I don’t want to know about them at all.
His brother is in the band. They don’t get along well. If I had to imagine, Chris got his azz kicked right after the show.
Dixie Chicks again, anyone?
You and me both, FRiend...may they languish in anonymity forevermore!
why are the black crowes white?
