Chris Robinson booed after mocking Florida fans' 'USA' chant

Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson was met with boos after he pushed back at a “USA” chant during a Florida stop on the band’s Southern Hospitality Tour. The chant began when an image of the group’s black crow mascot dressed as Uncle Sam appeared on the screen; Robinson reportedly said, “Thanks for the geography lesson,” and added, “I don’t know what you have to be so proud of right now.” The reaction from the crowd was swift, with some audience members leaving the venue.

In a clip obtained by TMZ, Robinson is heard answering the boos: “Some of us have real faith. For those of you f–king booing us, some of us are not afraid. And we most assuredly are not f–king ignorant.” Fans took to X to express disappointment. One wrote, “US Veteran here.

Bought tickets for my wife’s birthday in Tampa. Chris Robinson mocked the USA chanters… We walked out disappointed. Hoping for a partial refund.” Another said they had been a longtime concertgoer but would no longer attend after Robinson’s remarks.
