Over the past few days, the Web (and the Rock Daily comments section) has been stocked with opinions on Ted Nugent’s August 22nd onstage rant during which he brandished a pair of machine guns and suggested Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama could suck on one of them (a euphemism for “eat lead,” or take a bullet in the throat for those less familiar with metaphor) and Hillary Clinton could ride one (ditto). Now USA Today’s blog has brought our attention to a report from South Dakota TV station KSFY that indicates organizers of the state’s fair, at which Nugent is booked to play Sunday night, have asked the controversial guitarist to take it down a notch. “We don’t approve of what he does at his other concerts, but there’s nothing I can do about that. What I can control is what happens here at the State Fair,” said Fair manager Susan Hayward. “We reminded him [that the Fair is a family show] and they were very courteous in responding immediately in assuring us that that’s exactly what we would have.” Nugent is a true renegade, so it’s anybody’s guess what he’ll decide to say from his pulpit this weekend. Fair officials noted that they sold more tickets for Nugent’s show than any other this year.
