NAKED & UGLY, BUT CERTAINLY NOT SLEEPING
Last year, John Cougar was being interviewed on a Detroit radio station. After the chat, he noticed a Mitch Ryder concert poster on the wall and started raving about it. At which point deejay Jerry Lubin— Ryders ex-road manager—asked Cougar how Mitch could get a hold of him.

Last year, John Cougar was being interviewed on a Detroit radio station. After the chat, he noticed a Mitch Ryder concert poster on the wall and started raving about it. At which point deejay Jerry Lubin— Ryders ex-road manager—asked Cougar how Mitch could get a hold of him.
Two months ago, another Detroit radio station began playing Never Kick A Sleeping Dog a month ahead of the release date. This is generally considered bad form and all that, understandably pissing off Ryder and Polygram Records. Dog, of course, was produced by Cougar, and promises to put Ryder back into the national limelight. It might even establish Cougar as a boffo producer, and not just the limited sort of artist who cant sell more than three million copies of his own stuff. The radio scam shows that Ryder is always news in Detroit, too.
