Opening for Bocephus in Iowa. I’d pay to see that double team and their words on the Obama second term.
I wonder if he’ll talk about his draft-dodging war-mongering ways…
Yep, Lee, because that is what I go to a show for. I want to hear what a multi millionaire musician thinks about the current Presidential situation and how we are getting screwed by the man. It sucks when I’m trying to listen to an old Pearl Jam concert on satellite radio and its a show where Eddie won’t shut up about Bush and it sucks to hear Uncle Ted go on and on about it with Obama. He isn’t breaking new ground or converting anyone or giving solutions. He is just stoking the fire…..and something about the fact we all know now this guy was pushing his mid 20’s and into his 30’s and had a taste for 12 year old girls just makes him extra disgusting on about every level. Only Jimmy Page can’t get away that, and Ted aín’t no Jimmy Page.
I threw out all of my Nugent records. It is hard to separate his hate from his music anymore.
Somebody please show up at every show in the front row wearing an Obama mask and give Ted the finger through the whole performance.
Musical genius? Hardly,
How many good songs does Ted Nugent actually have? 3? 4?
He’s really gone overboard the last few years, going on FOX and spouting his views.
Rock and Roll and politics just don’t mix.
R&R and politics don’t mix?? Why?? because it’s one of the few that preach the right wing agenda?? Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, CSN, and a million others been preaching leftist ideology their entire careers and that’s fine but heaven forbid someone from the right speaks openly …..
Woohoo!!! Draft-dodging, ephebophile, republican rock n’ roll, everybody!!!
