Quotable Quote

“I take it as a badge of honor that such unclean vermin are upset by me and my positive energy… By all indicators, I don’t think they actually qualify as people, but there has always been a lunatic fringe of hateful, rotten, dishonest people that hate happy, successful people” — rocker Ted Nugent, responding in a Michigan newspaper to critics who want his concert at Oshkosh Saturday canceled . Earlier this week, the Coeur d’Alene Tribe cancelled his concert at the Coeur d’Alene Casino, due to his “racist attitudes and views.” (AP file photo, of Ted Nugent)

Question: Is Nugent digging himself a deeper hole re: future concert gigs? Or is all publicity good publicity for controversial rockers and entertainers?
