Never got a reply. Funny, that.

If you watch the clip in the link above it is interesting how much he has lifted from Rollins in terms of his rhetorical style.
Yes, I watched it - I agree. The ironic thing is, Rollins was apparently a huge fan back in his pre-punk days, as was Ian McKaye - they both admired Nuge's anti-drug stance, although I doubt either of them would have any truck with his comments about Dubuque. I suppose Nugent being a fan of Rollins' standup indicates that the influence has come full circle.
Reminds me of a conversation I was having in the pub last night about teetotal rock musicians and how there are so many of them in the US (Nugent, Simmons, Minor Threat and all other straight-edge bands, Frank Zappa, J Mascis, Wayne Coyne, Steve Albini, Calvin Johnson, Chuck D ... the list is virtually endless), but that the phenomenon barely seems to exist in the UK (unless you count Cliff Richard, which I don't).
