I too found references to a Free Press article (dated July 15, 1990 some said).
There are tons of Free Press articles mentioning Ted Nugent dating back to the 1980s found using http://nl.newsbank.com/
A search of the Free Press articles found no such July 15, 1990 article. There were July 3, 1990 and August 9, 1990 articles plus several more that year in other months.
You can read the first paragraph but must purchase the whole article. Nothing in the first paragraph suggested that the subject matter was his personal early experiences.
I have not attempted to search the Free Press articles on that (or any) site looking for anything about a draft physical.
I did not find anything in the Detroit Free Press either, but I did find these articles. Looks to me like is was a smear campaign by some animal rights whackos.
TED NUGENT RESPONDS
OP-ED COLUMN WAS VICIOUS ATTACK ON MY CHARACTER
THE SEATTLE TIMES
March 24, 1991
“My hunting message is even simpler. I deeply respect God’s creations, and value his design and my participation in it. The only thing true in Bowman’s attack is that I have no use for anybody who treats animals as equal citizens of the planet. I eat animals, but never people. This is the main thrust of Bowman and his cultist animal clan. Animals as citizens? That is preposterous, and what separates moral fibre from hypocrisy.
Reciting a fictitious story from the hippies at Rolling Stone about how I got out of the draft is another example. I had a 1-Y student deferment, for the record.”
NUGENT’S MESSAGE OF CRUELTY, VIOLENCE
THE SEATTLE TIMES
March 18, 1991
Author: DAVE BOWMAN
“In a recent Animals’ Agenda article (``Ted Nugent: Serial Killer of Wildlife’’), Nugent relates how when faced with the possibility of conscription, he impressed the local draft board as to his unsuitability by letting all personal hygiene fall by the wayside - even to the point of relieving himself in his trousers for days on end.
And he wants to school your children.”
