Oh, no Mr. Billn Wednesday, August 1st, 2007 I successfully accomplished creating and finally erecting a 4 ton rock monument  to the late Marion "Ma" Nugent, beloved mother of legendary rock-n-roll MotorCity MadMan Ted Nugent. The memorial tribute stands just outside Durty Nellie's eatery and pub in downtown Palatine Illinois. E.K.

A day to remember

Pride is a wonderful word but it can't come close to describe the over whelming feeling I have after finally erecting the Ma Nugent monument. I am still a glow with tender memories of accomplishing what my heart always knew was the right thing to do!. In retrospect, I have succeeded in building a rock-n-roll memorial  in honor of Chicago's only rock -n- roll mom who ever lived. Forever in stone, this monument will always be a physical manifestation of the love Ted shares everyday with his mom. Historic and unique, the Ma Nugent monument will always stand as a reminder that Ma Nugent was an important part of our community and a source of inspiration to many in her home town and through out the mid west.

Ideas begin... mission possible!

At a Naperville show in mid 2006 I discussed  with Ted putting together a multi page tribute to his mom on my website. A few  months later it was complete. Afterwards I decided it was time to go one step further and honor Ma in a monumental way. Ted and I discussed the  details and I proceeded. On June 11th I held a Ma Nugent remembered concert at Durty Nellie's featuring Dirty Dan Buck & The Boyzz along with Deluxury. I succeeded in bringing to the fore the memory of Chicago's most memorable rock -n- roll mom. Palatine business owner and landscaper Paul Munagian of Class landscaping came backstage to say he would donate the boulder. The event was a success and I  managed to get much media attention through newsprint and radio interviews.  In the coming months Ted's heavy schedule changes and a series of personal tragedies in my own life, lead Ted and I to decided to postpone the monument until I could easily move forward. A year later I contacted Ted and we set a date of August 1st, just prior to his evening performance at the Genesee Theatre in Waukegan, Illinois.
