Right-wing rocker Ted Nugent has put Rolling Stone magazine founder Jann Wenner on blast for the latter’s “racist and misogynistic” comments that got him ousted from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame board of directors.
In a recent interview with The New York Times regarding his new book The Masters — collecting interviews with many legendary rock stars — Wenner was asked why he didn’t include any interviews with female or Black artists, to which he replied: “Insofar as the women, none of them were as articulate enough on this intellectual level.”
He continued, “I suppose when you use a word as broad as ‘masters,’ the fault is using that word. Maybe Marvin Gaye, or Curtis Mayfield? I mean, they just didn’t articulate at that level.”
Nugent, who once called Black Lives Matter a “terrorist organization,” has had a bone to pick with Wenner for years. The guitarist believes his political views have kept him out of the Rock Hall — and he didn’t miss the opportunity to rip the disgraced board member on his streaming program “The Nightly Nuge,” calling Wenner’s comments “so clearly racist and so clearly misogynistic.”
“Jann Wenner righteously and wonderfully created Rolling Stone magazine to celebrate the artists that have never been given credit except by me and us here at ‘Nightly Nuge’ on My Real America’s Voice that the music that touches our soul came from black heroes who had more soul because they had to get out of the curse of slavery and celebrate freedom musically,” Nugent pontificated [as transcribed by Blabbermouth]. “[But he was removed from the Rock Hall board] because of racist and and misogynistic attacks that said that black and female artists are not articulate enough to reference in his book about rock and roll history, which is so clearly biased and so clearly racist and so clearly misogynistic. And those are the things that he has always accused me of…”
Nugent then recalled his 1979 Rolling Stone cover, in which he’s seen holding a Walther PPK pistol. Nugent said that Wenner was apparently unaware of the decision to put the hard rocker on the cover holding a gun, and it so offended Wenner that the then-editor made a point to burn Nugent at every opportunity in the magazine going forward.
Concluded Nugent: “The point being that Jann Wenner finally got thrown off the board of directors of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame that he has made sure I’m not part of because he actually made racist and misogynistic attacks on women and blacks, and so the board threw him off, which proves that his accusations towards the conservative guy were actually what he was guilty of. Which by the way, isn’t that the modus operandi of the Democrat party and the left? They always accuse other people of what they are glaringly guilty of. And Jann Wenner got caught, and adios, mofo.”
