can we attend tapings?
I like the new way TMS is being recorded. I keeps this more up to date. Rock On!
Ted Nugent…..think I will skip that one. Don’t care to hear him blather on about how the country would’ve been better off if the South had won the war. No thanks. Love Stranglehold…can’t stand his politics.
Yeah Jaime? I don’t much care for you voting with your vagina and giving no more thought to the state and future of our Country than voting for Prom King. Actually, you MIGHT have put more thought into that.
Yeah, Nugent’s politics are and conspiracy theory fantasies are as right wing fringe as you can get. Just about any prom king would be a safer alternative.
I actually like some of Nugent’s older stuff, but I hope I never hear Stranglehold or Cat Scratch Fever again for the rest of my life. They’ve been in perpetual rotation on nearly every single “classic” rock station for decades, which I suppose is a testament to his work, I just can’t imagine anyone calling up the radio station and asking, “Let me hear Cat Scratch Fever one more time”.
Ok…Dick..I mean Brick. You’ve properly identified yourself with your scathing comments. I’ll be sure to warn all the vagina prom kings to stay away from the burning cross in front of your house.
I agree,as long as he keeps it music related.
One of the most underated guitar player,he always gets brushed under the carpet,should be intresting with the nuge on tms,as far as his politics we need someone like him to run the country,not a bunch of PANZIES!!!!!!!
Looks to be another great season, ET! Lucky 13 it is!
Congratulations on the the new season Eddie. What are the chances of Ace and Peter appearing TOGETHER on the same episode? Also, is Jen returning? I hope so!
