Ted Nugent Just Says No

You gotta love it when Ted Nugent attacks hippies in The Wall Street Journal. If you don't have a subscription, here's the best part:

(1967) climaxed with the Monterey Pop Festival which included some truly virtuoso musical talents such as Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, both of whom would be dead a couple of years later due to drug abuse. Other musical geniuses such as Jim Morrison and Mama Cass would also be dead due to drugs within a few short years. The bodies of chemical-infested, braindead liberal deniers continue to stack up like cordwood...I often wonder what musical peaks they could have climbed had they not gagged to death on their own vomit.

The 1960s, a generation that wanted to hold hands, give peace a chance, smoke dope and change the world, changed it all right: for the worse. America is still suffering the horrible consequences of hippies who thought utopia could be found in joints and intentional disconnect.

The Motor City Madman goes on to blame hippies for the rising rates of divorce, abortion and crime. Sure, it's funny. But it would be more convincing coming from someone whose musical career didn't peak with "Cat Scratch Fever" and "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang."
