Ned Mudd

Ned Mudd (born 1952 in Birmingham) is an eclectic musician, poet, and community activist.

As a musician, Mudd contributed music to the soundtrack for the 2002 documentary This is Nowhere about nomadic RV'ers who camp in Wal-Mart parking lots. He also recorded "f.u.b.a.r. America", an acerbic political rant that led to the unceremonious removal of his Kevorkian Skull Poets from the Spoken Word Stage at the 1996 City Stages festival.

As an activist, Mudd campaigns for community radio and environmental protection. According to a 1998 article in Sports Afield, he, along with Lamar Marshall and Ray Vaughn have filed more than 90% of the environmental lawsuits in Alabama, seeking to force protection of undeveloped wilderness and reduce pollution.
