Ted Nugent Angry with Ft. Knox for Show Cancellation

Ted Nugent’s so angry that the Army can­celled his appear­ance at Fort Knox that he issued a state­ment to the Asso­ci­ated Press. He says the Army is tram­pling on his first amend­ment rights. He also says some com­ments he made at a National Rifle Asso­ci­a­tion con­ven­tion were taken out of con­text. He said he’d likely end up “dead or in jail” if the Pres­i­dent is reelected. The Secret Ser­vice opened an inves­ti­ga­tion to fig­ure out if his words amounted to a death threat. The orga­ni­za­tion ulti­mately cleared him of any wrong­do­ing, but the Army banned him from per­form­ing this June at a show fea­tur­ing Styx and REO Speed­wagon. Some con­cert­go­ers who had already pur­chased tick­ets weren’t happy that Nugent is no longer on the bill, so the Army has decided to issue refunds to any­one who wants one.
