Joan Jett has fired back at Ted Nugent for comments he made in January about a Rolling Stone article from 2010.
In 2010, then-Rolling Stone writer David Fricke put together his list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists," which included Joan Jett.
Nugent, 12 years later, said, “You have to have [crap] for brains and you have to be a soulless, soulless prick to [include] Joan Jett.”
In an interview with NME, Joan asks, “Is that his implication, that he should be on the list instead of me? Well, that’s just typical – it’s what I’ve dealt with my whole life, being written off. Ted Nugent has to live with being Ted Nugent. He has to be in that body, so that’s punishment enough.
"He’s not a tough guy. He plays tough guy, but this is the guy who [craps] his pants – literally – so he didn’t have to go in the Army...
“So this is the tough guy who’s running around America, stirring things up against each other.”
And, as Joan said, Nugent did not make the list and has yet to comment on this story -- but knowing him, he will.
