I dont condone excessive behavior.

But this guys a Conservative Prick.

What about the Senseless War that was going on Back then?

What about a Corrupt President that made George Dubya look like Mother Teresa?

What about a Draft that was forcing young kids to be dropped in the middle of a jungle to fight in a Civil war we had no business being a part of? Oh yeah and guess what the government was peddling to any soldier that was in need of a “morale Booster”?

What about Teds own excessive behavior in the form of scamming any fourteen year old girl that got caught in his radar? The fucken guy was notorious for that!

Ted nugent, what an Ass-Hat!

Go play the same tired Rock block riffs with your bullshit VH1 reality band Ted!

i’ve always hated the nuge, and now even more. anybody who gets off on killing animals like that guy does obviously has psychotic issues. and that essay was the most self-righteous piece of shit i’ve ever read.

#22

I think Stranglehold is a great song.

#23

Atleast you read it ::slight_smile:

#24

i agree

#25

I bet that many of the musicians that inspired TN to persue music used drugs. Good points above too, that he conveniently bypasses any of his own demons and character flaws in favor of attacking those of others.

Fucking jackass.

#26

what about " journey to the center of the mind"?

the amboy dukes were rockin!

#27

Other song on the first Amboy Dukes featuring Ted Nugent album are…

Let’s Go Get Stoned
Down On Philips Escalator (D.O.P.E.)

and

Sobbin’ In My Mug Of Beer

Never did drugs or got drunk, my ass…

I was never a big Nugent fan, and not just because everyone knew in the 60s what his view on the hippy lifestyle was. His music just wasn’t all that to begin with.

That being said, he wasn’t necessarily alone in this viewpoint among more creative and intelligent musicians like Frank Zappa for one, and Roger Waters for another. Although considerably less candid than Nugent about the cultural aspects of their customer base, supposedly neither Zappa or Waters particulary liked the hippy “lifestyle” and the drug use that went along with it. (Waters was into drugs early in his musical career, but stopped in an attempt to help reduce the influence on Barrett, to no avail.)

Makes you wonder about the sheer power of their creative genius.[color=black]

well, syd used to get dosed by all the leeches around him, without him knowing it, i had read someplace that they used to dose his coffee, so that the first thing he ingested when he woke up was coffee and L, i doubt roger would have had much pull anyway with shit like that going down
