Overview
- During a Tampa stop on The Black Crowes' Southern Hospitality Tour, parts of the crowd chanted "U‑S‑A" just before the band began playing "She Talks to Angels," a sequence shown in video obtained by TMZ.
- Lead singer Chris Robinson told the chanters "Thanks for the geography lesson" and said he did not know "what you have to be so proud of right now," remarks that were captured on the same video.
- When some audience members booed or left, Robinson answered, "For those of you f***ing booing us, some of us are not afraid. And we most assuredly are not f***ing ignorant," according to the footage and reporting.
- News coverage rests largely on TMZ's video and sourcing; other outlets republished the report and some added partisan framing of the crowd that is not independently verified in the footage.
- The band and venue have not issued public statements and there are no reported cancellations or further fallout, while the incident highlights how stage visuals and chants can quickly shape tense performer‑audience exchanges.
