Cat Scratch Fool!
By: Bill Marshall

In exactly one week I will be standing on my feet ready to see the final performance of my favorite rock and roll band. Unfortunately, to witness this special occasion, I will have to endure about forty minutes of Ted Nugent.

I have nothing really against Ted, I even saw his show about ten years ago, I just think he is another one of those people trying to keep us forever tied to the dark ages, and has absolutely no place at a KISS concert.

KISS is about fantasy, not politics. They are about living out dreams, not having the darker sides of reality shoved down your throat by an over-publicized red-neck with a guitar.

I will not get into a debate about how I feel guns and hunting keep us tied to our animal instincts to kill other living things. Or, how seeing his stupid ass on stage wearing an Indian head dress, and then telling anyone how can't speak English (which the native Americans did not) to get the hell out, is so condescending and ridiculous. But I would like to know a couple of thing about Ted. If he knows so damn much about everything, how come he doesn't know how to have a hit solo album? And, if he's such the "man", then how come KISS isn't opening for him?

I truly believe in free speech, and I would never deny anyone, not even a KKK wanna be like T.N., the chance to voice his/her opinions. Without free speech, I may never have had the chance to hear Alive! But, I have a little news flash for Mr. Nugent. The problem with this country is not with the people who can not speak English living in it, because they were here before his sorry red-neck ancestors stepped off the boat, it's the racist backward morons like him who are running our country. Sorry Ted, but you can talk as fast as you want, it still does not make it sound anymore intelligent.

Oh, wait a minute, I just remembered one bright spot about the concert next week. Ted pissed off and insulted everyone so much the last time he was here, that they will NOT let him perform this time. What a shame:-)

Peace
