What Happens When Ted Nugent Texts Kid Rock?
Ted Nugent and Kid Rock have teamed up to record a song in support of the Confederate flag. The song, titled “Kiss My Rebel Ass,” was reportedly written and recorded in the space of a day after Nugent, seeing that Kid Rock had invited anyone protesting his use of the flag at his concerts to “kiss my ass,” reached out to express his support via text message.
“When you get a text from the Nuge, you know you’ve done something right,” laughed Rock during a joint appearance the two made on WWJ Newsradio 950. Added Nugent, “Rock ‘n’ roll ain’t supposed to be nice — it’s supposed to hit you upside the head with a tire iron, and that is exactly what this song does.”
Nugent, who’s been typically outspoken in his disappointment with the recent removal of the flag from the statehouse grounds in South Carolina, weighed in on the subject during a recent appearance on the World Positive Thinkers podcast. “I believe that we always have to look at substance over symbolism, and I think we have to be honest,” argued Nugent. “If we burned every Confederate flag today, would they stop shooting each other in Chicago? If we burned every Confederate flag today, would we stop sanctuary cities from accommodating murderers and rapists and savage people?”
No word yet on whether Nugent and Kid Rock, both of whom were born in Michigan, have plans to collaborate on more songs in the future. “Kiss My Rebel Ass” will reportedly be available as a free download from both of their websites on July 17.

I am offended that somebody is offended!
Where does it end? I was thinking about this older Hank Williams Jr. tune from my youth over the weekend and thought I'd post this. It pretty much says it all in regards to almost everybody being offended by something when he asks "why can't everybody else leave everybody else alone?". I was sixteen and saw him live in Birmingham in 1980. This was the "Pressure is On (A Country Boy Can Survive) Tour". We had a rare snowstorm in north Alabama and we almost couldn't make it the 80 miles south to see 'Ol Hank, but three friends and I did.
"Payback is a Bitch": Rural Wisdom and the Gathering Storm
The furor over the Confederate flag, think I, has little to do with the Confederate flag, which is a pretext, an uninvolved bystander. Rather it is about a seething anger in the United States that we must not mention. It is the anger of people who see everything they are and believe under attack by people they aren’t and do not want to be—their heritage, their religion, their values and way of life all mocked and even made criminal.
The talking heads inside Washington’s beltway, in editorial suites in New York, do not know of this anger. They do not talk to people in Joe’s Bar in Chicago or in barbecue joints in Wheeling. They are cloistered, smug, sure of themselves. And they are asking for it. Read the rest here at Fred on Everything.
