The Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson Booed After Sarcastic Response To “U.S.A.” Chant In Tampa
Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson was reportedly booed after giving a sarcastic response to audience members chanting “U.S.A.” during the band’s Sunday night concert in Tampa, Florida.
According to TMZ, the incident began when an image of the band’s black crow mascot dressed as Uncle Sam appeared on the screen behind the stage. That visual reportedly led some fans in the crowd to start chanting “U.S.A.”
“Thanks for the geography lesson,” Robinson reportedly said in response. “I don’t know what you have to be so proud of.”
TMZ’s video begins shortly after that moment, capturing Robinson in what appears to be the middle of a heated statement. “…some of us have real faith. And for those of your f—ing booing us, some of us are not afraid. And we are most assuredly are not f—ing ignorant, so thank you!” he said.
Robinson also addressed the current state of the world in a March 2026 interview with Mojo, saying, “I’m not interested in politics.” He added, “[But] I know what’s right and wrong – and this s— 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—, but if there’s a street fighting man out there, he’d got to be a young man, right? But these kids don’t seem to give a f—.”
The Black Crowes are currently on tour with Whiskey Myers, with their next performance scheduled for June 2 in St. Augustine, Florida.
