I was disturbed to read today that the House of Blues has invited Ted Nugent to play. Doing so is a slap in the face of those who *agree* with the House of Blues’ mission statement - To promote racial and spiritual harmony through love, peace, truth, righteousness and non-violence.

Please rescind this invitation. Providing Ted Nugent with a venue provides him with a soapbox, and I hate to think that the House of Blues would tolerate the violent racist opinions of such a man.

Thank you.
