The Black Crowes are currently out on a summer tour, and the band made a stop in Tampa, Florida on Sunday night where things didn’t exactly go as planned. An image of the band’s black crow mascot dressed as Uncle Sam appeared on a screen behind the group prompting “U.S.A” chants from portions of the crowd. That’s when the trouble started .
“Thanks for the geography lesson,” singer Chris Robinson replied according to TMZ. “I don’t know what you have to be so proud of.” Robinson continued: “…Some of us have real faith. And for those of you f*cking booing us, some of us are not afraid. And we are most assuredly are not f*cking ignorant, so thank you!”
Robinson previously told Mojo: “I’m not interested in politics. I know what’s right and wrong – and this s*it going on right now is wrong. Look man, I’m almost 60, all right. I don’t tell anyone what to do, because I don’t like to be told what to do. But I know right and wrong. The world’s teetering on the edge with all this bulls*it, but if there’s a street fighting man out there, he’s got to be a young man, right? But these kids don’t seem to give a f*ck.”
