A screen displaying the band's mascot dressed as Uncle Sam reportedly prompted the crowd chant in Tampa, Florida

During the band's show in Tampa, Florida, over the weekend, a screen reportedly displayed the Black Crowes' mascot dressed as Uncle Sam, prompting members of the crowd to break into "U.S.A." chants, according to TMZ. Singer Chris Robinson allegedly responded, "Thanks for the geography lesson," before adding, "I don't know what you have to be so proud of right now." The response drew boos from the crowd and prompted some concertgoers to walk out before the show ended.
In videos circulating online, Robinson can be heard saying, "Some of us have real faith. For those of you f---ing booing us, some of us are not afraid. And we most assuredly are not f---ing ignorant."

"It’s just stupidity. Give the politics a rest for 90 minutes," another commented. "I don’t know why they feel compelled to spit on their fans." "Never a good idea to insult half of your fans," another person quipped. "It hasn’t worked for Hollywood and it won’t work for the Crowes either. All they have to do is entertain people, keep political views out of it. Love the Crowes but this is a mistake."

Robinson can tuck a tick too
Moron.
That said, one of the best concerts I ever saw was the Black Crowes and Jimmy Page. They played a few of the Black Crowes hits but it was mostly Led Zeppelin tunes. They nailed it. 1997, when this guy was still using a lot of drugs and wasn’t so uptight.
Edit ^ 1999
#1 Entertainment rule. Don’t insult your fans
Back in the 1930s, traitors like him would have been tarred and feathered, immediately...
This is always a great business strategy.
Dixie Chicks redux. Great career move, guys.
Even his own brother can’t stand him most of the time.
Not a rule for Don Rickles.
Don’t know the group and never heard of them. But I’m glad they’re getting backlash. Chris Robinson was so disrespectful to the people and country that brought him the big bucks. Yo Chris, move out of the country.
Don’t recall these guys ever being anything but drugged out leftist free-love smelly hippies anyway...why is anyone surprised here?
I won free tickets for their Bridgeport, CT show next Wednesday. I won’t go…..even for free.
Michael Jordan said it best: Republicans buy sneakers too.
Forever known now and in the future as the Dixie Crows!
They’re both a-holes, well known throughout the business.
These fools just can’t STFU and play.
In my experience the average IQ of musician types is around 90. They think they are brilliant, though.
The old saying never meet your heroes or in this case listen to them might fit here . I’m at the point where no artist holds me in thrall anymore. I used to have one and did meet her a number of times but she has passed away now.
I thought the 2 songs that get radio play sucked.
The Otis Redding cover song?
