I don't like making Tom feel TOO bad. Nugent was a sort of rock hero to hm
However........
Considering how far along festival organizers were in booking Nugent, they had no choice but to pay up the $16,250 — a little more than half of Nugent’s $32,000 performance fee — to rectify the errant booking.
“That didn’t really fit what we trying to put together, a family oriented program … and I confirmed with [City Manager David Willard's] thoughts that probably wasn’t the right act,” said the city’s Mayor Jay Dean. “And I still feel that it was the right decision. It just didn’t fit with what we were trying to put together.”
Mainstream conservatism has rejected Nugent. Sounds like he will join the Tea Partiers big time soon for a better "fit"
