Listen, they\u2019re called the Black Crowes<\/a>, not the Bald Eagles. <\/p>\n The Black Crowes got caught in a political tit for tat at a concert in Tampa, Fla., over the weekend when frontman Chris Robinson didn\u2019t hold back on fans who made a show of their patriotism. <\/p>\n On Sunday, the American rock band was feeling a little salty toward, well, America. During the Central Florida stop on their Southern Hospitality Tour, the band\u2019s logo (which features a black crow dressed in an Uncle Sam getup with a marijuana flag on its hat), flashed across the screen. Although the logo is meant to be subversive and ironic, Tampa fans took it as a cue and started to chant \u201cUSA! USA!\u201d <\/p>\n Robinson, who\u2019s from the Deep South, made it clear that his Southern hospitality only goes so far. \u201cThanks for the geography lesson,\u201d he quipped. <\/p>\n But the chanting continued. <\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know what you have to be so proud of right now,\u201d he said. At this point, Floridians were making a mass exodus from the venue, and Robinson continued to drive home his point as they made their way toward the exits. <\/p>\n \u201cSome of us have real faith, and for those of you f\u2014 booing us, some of us are not afraid,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cAnd we most assuredly are not f\u2014 ignorant.\u201d<\/p>\n In video clips<\/a> of a portion of the incident, some of the audience is heard cheering and clapping while others sit stone-faced in their seats, and many are seen getting up and leaving. After Robinson said his piece, the band continued the show, and played the opening chord to their 1991 megahit, \u201cShe Talks to Angels.\u201d <\/p>\n A representative for the Black Crowes did not immediately return The Times\u2019 request for comment.<\/p>\n On March 13, the group dropped its 10th studio album, \u201cA Pound of Feathers,\u201d and in February, the Atlanta band was nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for a second time. <\/p>\n During a press tour for \u201cA Pound of Feathers,\u201d Robinson was busy on the podcast circuit, appearing on \u201cThis Past Weekend With Theo Von<\/a>\u201d; Jay Mohr\u2019s podcast<\/a>, \u201cMohr Stories\u201d; and Bert Kreischer\u2019s podcast, \u201cBertcast,<\/a>\u201d among others, but any talk of politics seemed to be off the table. Last year, he did appear on the \u201cJoe Rogan Experience<\/a>\u201d and briefly said that his politics aligned with the \u201calternate politics of music.\u201d <\/p>\n
