Ted Nugent recently claimed that Rock Hall co-founder Jann Wenner had spread ‘lies’ about him while editing Rolling Stone during his news-style show, The Nightly Nuge.
Jann, who founded Rolling Stones in 1967, received backlash for saying that ‘female and black artists weren’t articulate enough’ to feature in his new book, ‘The Masters.’
So, Nugent commented on the matter and slammed Wenner; then, he also claimed the former editor had started to spread lies about him after the rocker appeared on Rolling Stones’ cover with a gun in 1979.
Ted started his claims with the following:
“[I] got contacted by a young lady who was at the meeting when Jan Wenner finally saw the cover of me with a Walther PPK 380 automatic. This young lady, who was there, came to a concert — it was either Philadelphia or Pittsburgh.”
Then, the rocker then explained how the ‘young lady,’ who claimed to have worked for Rolling Stone, revealed Wenner’s reaction to Nugent’s cover picture:
“She said, ‘I was at the meeting when Jann Wenner just went berserk on us because he couldn’t believe that we got a photo of this redneck, right-wing NRA member with a gun on the cover.”
Nugent then further explained how he believes Wenner had conspired against him:
“And she said, ‘Never again are we allowed to say anything about Ted Nugent’s career except negative stuff and take him to task and go ahead and make false accusations.’ Now this is what she told me, and that’s what they’ve done since that cover. They’ve parroted the lies that I dodged the draft, which is a lie.”
While detailing the ‘fabricated’ news created against him, Nugent also dissed Courtney Love:
“They parroted that I had sex with Courtney Love, which is a lie. I mean, I have proof that I didn’t have sex with Courtney Love because I still have both arms and I don’t have rabies.”
He continued:
“The point is that he always parroted all the nastiest allegations — [that] I dissed the Native Americans, which I never did. That I’m a racist, which I’m not. That I’m a homophobe, which I’m not.”
The singer then pointed out how ‘ironic’ things had been for Wenner, who accused him of being ‘racist and misogynistic:’
“The point being that Jann Wenner finally got thrown off the board of directors of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame that he has made sure I’m not part of because he actually made racist and misogynistic attacks on women and blacks, and so the board threw him off, which proves that his accusations towards the conservative guy were actually what he was guilty of.”
He ended his words by slamming the Democratic Party and the left, as well:
“Which, by the way, isn’t that the modus operandi of the Democrat party and the left? They always accuse other people of what they are glaringly guilty of. And Jann Wenner got caught, and adios, mofo.”
