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.'"

Their music sucks.

Never heard of him...was he supposed to be a patriot or conservative? Why were these people seeing him chanting that?
The ones who had class walked out.
I get that the mascot was “Uncle Sam” but...something doesn’t line up.
After reading about it elsewhere, the imagery was not supposed to be taken as patriotic but as sarcasm. Some of the audience didn’t realize that and thought the band was being patriotic. Now they know better.
Can’t read the room. That’s bad.
They’re a has been band from the 1990s. Completely irrelevant to today’s music scene.
Big time.
Ahhh. Now it make sense. Thank you for the context.
LOL...
Duh...Duh...Duh...another one bites the dust!
The singer has a history of being a jerk.
He’s always been a canute
He tried to take 70% equity stake in the band and treat his guys as employees
Not a good guy
Today’s music is just awful by and large
I feel sorry for zoomers and millennials
He sure does and in an industry with plenty
“Some of us have class”
Hahahahaha
Just like every other libtard.
He deserves an ass-kicking for sharing the same name as Jim Robinson’s son and besmirching it with his Springsteen antics.
But he has to wake up with his miserable self so that’s probably bad enough.
