Ted Nugent has responded to Joan Jett after she hit back at his criticism of her being included in a list of the 100 greatest guitarists.Earlier this year, Nugent took issue with The Runaways legend’s placing at 87 in a list that was compiled by Rolling Stone‘s David Fricke back in 2003 (and was reposted online in 2010).“You have to have shit for brains and you have to be a soulless, soulless prick to put Joan Jett [in there],” Nugent said about the list in question during a YouTube livestream on December 30, though he later added that he also “love[s] Joan… ‘Put another dime in the jukebox, baby’ – great rock and roller”.He then sought to clarify his comments in another interview. “I started off by praising Joan Jett’s genuine shit-kicker, down-to-earth, all-American rock and roll credentials,” Nugent said. “I started off by praising her.
