Jury Awards $100,000 In Damages To TED NUGENT For Canceled Concert
- Mar. 31, 2005

The Associated Press is reporting that a Muskegon County jury ruled Thursday (March 31) that a music festival must pay $100,000 in damages to rock star Ted Nugent.
The guitarist-singer, perhaps best known for his 1977 hit "Cat Scratch Fever", had sued Muskegon Summer Celebration over the cancellation of his June 2003 show.
Nugent said a festival news release at the time of the cancellation wrongly accused him of making racist remarks.
The jury found that festival organizers breached their contract with Nugent and awarded him $80,000 in damages, as well as another $20,000 for lost proceeds from the sale of merchandise.
Nugent's concert was canceled after he used a slur offensive to blacks during a live interview on Denver radio station KRFX-FM in May 2003.
During the trial, Nugent testified that he used the word while quoting a black Motown musician's compliment to a then-teenage Nugent in reference to his guitar skills.
Nugent, a 56-year-old Detroit native, now lives in Crawford, Texas.

That "slur" is NOT offensive to blacks. They use it all the time.
Glad Ted won. The DJs should've been sued for being such a bunch of weenies.

but are they Asian-Americans even if they still live in China?
It's kinda like this dumbshit on ABC Sports, who said that this one bobsledding chick was the "first African-American from any country to win a winter gold medal".
Lunacy.
oh... and.. Ted was called racist for saying that people coming to America need to learn how to speak English.
How is that racist?

Ted is the man, he is a great musician. Some of you little 16 year old punks should go and buy a ticket and see why this guy was selling out stadiums in the 70's.
This board makes me sick.
