Every Dem and every press organization and every sane person could do our democracy a big favor by calling out these psychopathic liars every time they open their mouths. There are just enough Dumass-Americans that some of what they say becomes accepted as fact. And that Joe Arpaio has been Sheriff down there for so many years proves the staying power of the lies.
Nugent is a disgrace….repulsive, in fact.
But Ted’s music is still pretty good. Not long ago, I found a great, 2009, live YouTube of Ted and the original Amboy Dukes doing Journey to the Center of the Mind. Duke: weren’t you around back in 1969 when the original came out? I think I have it on 45 rpm (oops, I’m dating myself).
C.H.B.
Come along if you dare….
I find Nugent’s music and his pedophilic behavior horrible.
By definition, you are a pedophile as well if you like Nugent.Nugent needs to off himself, and make his records worthless.
Isn’t that a bit extreme, there, dp?
Being a musician, I am of the opinion that a persons’ musical ability and their world view, however abhorrent, are essentially disconnected. I find “the Ted” to be the most onerous of human creatures, but liking his music, I am convinced, does not automatically make one have a desire for sex with little children.
just sayin’
While that point is undoubtedly correct Duke, it also stands to reason that being so does not preclude us from the strong likelihood that Ted’s music is ‘pretty good’ in the same manner a jackhammer is rhythmic.
Meh. Always considered his music mediocre, long before I knew what his politics were. On the other hand I still love ZZ Top even though they’re a bunch of red neck righties, granted not as repulsively abhorrent as Nugent. High bar there. So, yeah, I’m able to separate a person’s art from their political views. Unless it’s bad art just to illustrate those views, like Ayn Rand’s, clunky juvenile novels.
Well.. I didn’t say I was a fan. I never have been. Ted has never been more than a very second rate musician..I was just being circumspect, I guess.
I have never owned one of his recordings…if that tells you anything.
A bit extreme was right, Duke. And as far as taste in music goes, many wouldn’t consider my taste for ZZ exactly elevated. No accounting for people’s taste, including my own.
I too, am a bit of a ZZ fan. I used to cover their hit “Under Pressure” when I was singing with a band in Boulder.
and they had beards before beards were cool….
Isn’t Nugent that profile in courage who defecated on himself before appearing at the draft board in order to avoid going to Vietnam?
Nugent’s stories (there are different versions) are here. He told it a few different ways. Whichever version is true, he’s a lying sack of shit, and a true chickenhawk.
Really..? That seems unlikely…unless it was the voices in your head…Ted.
lol…….what a piece of work. He apparently put a lot of effort and planning into his draft dodging! The really ironic part is that if he is such a gun nut, he could have spent a couple of years shooting at foreigners with Uncle Sam providing the guns and ammo.
Simple explanation: The wild animals he likes to hunt don’t shoot back.
I’d attribute a lot of his erratic thoughts and behavior to Chronic Wasting Disease from eating all that wild game raw.

I kid of enjoyed watching these two cockroaches going at it!
Another example of how great unfettered 21st century Republican ideology works. Why wasn’t the right next door example of failed GOTP policy in completely GOTP controlled Kansas ever used by a single Colorado Dem candidate in 2014? Never mind. We know why. Scared to look like mean, rich hating socialists or something so don’t say mean things about conservative economic bull, even though it’s so clearly bull….

Luckily, the Kansas economy hasn’t rebounded like ours, so more Kansans are out of work. No need for additional pesky childcare with the schools out early if you’re unemployed. The Republicans–always good for a silver lining.
