Don't Tread on Me

Happy Independence Day, glam fans. Hopefully, you are enjoying a day off and preparing to barbecue with your family and friends. Unfortunately, I'm stuck at work, writing two shows with a skeleton crew.

The Independence Day holiday always reminds me of crazy Uncle Ted Nugent. The man is about as conservative as I am liberal. He wears his political beliefs on his sleeve. Back in the day, Ted Nugent formed Damn Yankees with Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades, and Michael Cartellone. They created some of the best harmonies in all of melodic rock.

In 1992, the band released Don't Tread, and embarked on a massively successful-patriotic themed tour. Here's a video from that tour. Damn Yankees "Don't Tread."
