His controversial views on the late Kirk Cobain - Ted Nugent
Nugent, a raving Conservative, went on the radio show "Rockline". When a listener asked him why Kirk Cobain wasn't on his list of great rock artists, Nugent called the late Cobain "an example of disgusting self-denial." Nugent added: "I didn't like him, I'm glad he's dead. And the only way that girl, Kirk Cobain's daughter (Frances Bean, who was still an infant), will have a normal childhood is when that worthless, addicted slut of a mother (Courtney Love) dies, and she'll be given to parents that give a damn." I don't think Nugent was invited back on the show.

Starting a fight with Jeffree Star - Trace Cyrus
Here's the story: The lead singer of Metro Station's girlfriend, Hanna Beth, was friends with a pink-haired transvestite singer named Jeffree Star. Cyrus was supposedly on drugs at the time, so Star was helping Beth get through her hard times with Trace by posting a rant on Myspace. Unfortunately, Cyrus was unhappy that Star had revealed his personal life to the public, so Cyrus sent a bunch of nasty text messages to him. They have been enemies ever since.
