Ted Nugent discussed Joan Jett accusing him of claiming he crapped his pants to avoid a military draft in a new Metal Castle interview.
“Well, it’s like I said, I didn’t attack her; I criticized the writers of the list. I praised her, and her retaliation was nothing but vicious hate. She even said I was a draft dodger, which I’m not. That goes back to the High Times story I did in the late ’70s about shitting my pants to get out of the draft, which was a joke. But people still cling to that, and things like that keep me overlooked on lists like that because there are so many morons who do nothing but hate in this leftist music industry.
These people cannot stand me, not because of what I stand for, but because they’re incapable of debating me. They know if they get in that situation with me, I will rupture and crush all that they thought they knew. So, they avoid me, hate me, and spread lies about me to shut me up. But the jokes on then; it’s not working. [Laughs].”
Nugent criticized Rolling Stone earlier this year for putting Jett on a 100 greatest guitarists list over other big names, including himself.
