Things may be OK between Ted Nugent and the Secret Service, but the musician's controversial comments about President Obama have landed him in some hot water with Army brass at Fort Knox.
The leadership at Fort Knox decided to drop Nugent as the opening act for a June 23 concert.
"After learning of opening act Ted Nugent's recent public comments about the president of the United States, Fort Knox leadership decided to cancel his performance on the installation," says a message on the Fort Knox Facebook page.
Nugent called the Obama administration "vile, evil" and "anti-American" in remarks earlier this month to the National Rifle Association, of which he is a board member.
His comment that "if Barack Obama becomes the president in November again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year" prompted a meeting with the Secret Service. The matter was declared resolved, and Nugent said he did not threaten anyone.
Fort Knox says REO Speedwagon and Styx will continue to headline the June 23 concert.
