This Town Paid Ted Nugent $16,000 To NOT Appear At A Local Event

Rocker Ted Nugent just made big bucks to not show up somewhere.

The town of Longview, Texas paid Nugent $16,000 to not appear at the town's Fourth of July Festival. According to KLTV, a city spokesman said Nugent was "not the right feel for this kind of community event."

The city had reached a verbal agreement with Nugent, scheduling the rocker as the headliner who would play inside the Maude Cobb Convention and Activity Center during the town's Independence Day celebration. To break that agreement, the town paid Nugent half of his guaranteed performance fee of $32,000 from Maude Cobb's annual budget.

3. Good for Longview.

However, it is a bit of a surprise since it is in a reliably red congressional district (Louie Gohmert).

4. It was reported today that Nugent's wife is filing for divorce

Ted asked her why she was divorcing him and she said, "It is because you are a pedophile Ted."

Ted replied, "Pedophile??? That's an awfully big word for a thirteen year old!"
