Ted Nugent Blames Hippies for Divorce, Abortion, Drugs and Crime It was only a matter of time before Ted Nugent decided to rain on the Summer of Love’s anniversary parade. In an article from today’s Wall Street Journal titled “The Summer of Drugs,” the notoriously opinionated guitar god took some time off his busy hunting schedule to blame “stoned, dirty, stinky hippies” for “rising rates of divorce, high school drop-outs, drug use, abortion, sexual diseases and crime, not to mention the exponential expansion of government and taxes.” Highlights (including some choice words for Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin) after the jump: On the Summer Of Love: “Honest and intelligent people will remember it for what it really was: the Summer of Drugs.” On Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Mama Cass: “I often wonder what musical peaks they could have climbed had they not gagged to death on their own vomit.” On the hippie movement: “Turned off by the work ethic and productive American Dream values of their parents, hippies instead opted for a cowardly, irresponsible lifestyle of random sex, life-destroying drugs and mostly soulless rock music that flourished in San Francisco.” On life as the Nuge: “Clean and sober for 59 years, I am still rocking my brains out and approaching my 6,000th concert. Clean and sober is the real party.”

Reading Is Leeds Is Reading Is Leeds, Amy Winehouse’s Sober Demands, Britney’s 700th Resurrection Perhaps at one point there was a discernible difference between the Reading and Leeds festivals, but not anymore. Both are muddy, both are filled with extremely fucked up Brits, both attract Kate Moss in shorts year after year and both have virtually identical lineups. The events, which take place the same long weekend (August 24-26) will feature performances by Red Hot Chili Peppers, Arcade Fire, Interpol, Kings of Leon and the Smashing Pumpkins, among others. We’re sure some bands are playing one and not the other, but it’s hurting our eyes trying to cross check them all. [via Angry Ape] Perhaps this news impacts your life: Jurassic 5 may break up. According to the Smoking Gun, perpetually loaded Brit R&B sensation Amy Winehouse requires chilled champagne, vodka and a selection of beer backstage for her shows, but prefers that her local roadies be sober. That way they won’t ask to share the supplies, we’re thinking. TMZ reports that Britney Spears is leaving rehab this week after making “one of the most amazing turnarounds in celebrity memory” (whatever that is). We’re looking forward to the next installment, as per usual, but at the same time let’s actually, seriously, hope the girl is better.

Smoking Section: Pete Doherty, Mick Jones, and Solomon Burke The Smoking Section spoke with Pete Doherty just before his most recent drug relapse and return to rehab. At that time, however, the Babyshambles leader was proudly clean and sober: “I’m still a bit wobbly,” Pete Doherty tells the Smoking Section. “Like a newborn horse. But I’m getting there.” Two weeks out of rehab — where he addressed his well-documented addictions to crack and heroin — the Babyshambles frontman is holed up in a quaint cottage in Marlborough, England, with his bandmate and sober-buddy, guitarist Mick Whitnall. Though Babyshambles’ new album, Shotter’s Nation, is a fantastic work, recorded in the haze of the past two years, Doherty attests that “we’ve been more creative since we’ve been clean.” In addition to constant guitar picking, the two have been taking morning walks through the British countryside, where Doherty traded in his syringe for a fishing pole. “I caught two dogfish and three haddock,” Doherty says cheerfully. And even though Amy Winehouse spent a night with them, working on a new tune called “1939 Returning,” Doherty’s still on the wagon, gearing up for an arena tour in the U.K. “We’ve got to be on the ball for that,” he says. Then maybe America? “I’d come tomorrow if they’d let me in.” * * * * Back in 1975, Mick Jones and Tony James started a band called the London SS. “Fate stopped that band from success because of the bad karma associated with the name,” says James. So the pals wished each other well and went separate ways — Jones formed the Clash, James hooked up with Generation X. Twenty-seven years later, astounded at their ability to share music on the Web, the pair rekindled their musical bond, forming Carbon/Silicon and releasing free music on their site. “People kept saying, ‘When are you going to have a proper record out?’ ” says Jones.

Seether - Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces Artist: Seether Review: Worst-lyric-of-the-year alert: "Your verbal defecation I can't wash away despite myself." So Seether frontman Shaun Morgan informs us in his Nickelback-ian growl during "No Jesus Christ," a seven-minute-long compilation of post-grunge cliches. The lip-ringed Morgan -- best known as the subject of Evanescence's "Call Me When You're Sober," as penned by former girlfriend Amy Lee -- and his band do know how to write some catchy heavy-guitar riffs. What's more, the rhythm section, while overactive, ... Rating: 1.5 Stars
