I saw Nuge do drugs with my own two eyes, right before he started grabbing all of the teenage girls near him. His cock was out. He's always been a letch and a liar.

I went to a Nugent concert back in the 70s at my school. He was the headliner, but the opening act was Rory Galagher, an Irish guitarist who wasn't well known at all in the states at the time. Galagher lit the place up and got multiple ovations. When Nugent came on, he seemed pissed off from the beginning. He played a short set and left, didn't come back for an encore, which may have been a good idea since the crowd started chanting for Galagher again. He wasn't political then, but he was still a jerk.

The Nuge is NOT gay.

And by suggesting so, you owe a big apology to gay men everywhere.

Actually, Workin Hard is the only good song on the album. And also hypocrisy as the rest of this album is nothing but a re-recording of the Free-For-All album. And Free-For-All was a complete re-recording of Ted Nugent.

Ted has 3 good albums - Call of the Wild, Tooth Fang And Claw, and Ted Nugent. Cat Scratch Fever is not a good album, it's the beginning of a long, uninterrupted string of lazy, boring, Nuge albums.

Yes, but the point was he stated that he went to Iraq to show he wasn't a coward, but he had to of known when he said it that he would have the highest level of protection the entire time he was there. It's just another example of his talking tough when reality doesn't back up his projected level of badassitude.

I like the "Little Miss Dangerous" album along wilh his badass appearance on Miami Vice.

And just to be fair, any USO artist that goes on a trip to Iraq these days is heavily guarded. It has nothing to do with "not a coward".

It's funny (well, not really) that Ted rails about and homosexuals since he probably is one. That's where that kind of thinking comes from. People hiding who they really are by deflecting the attention onto someone else.

Glass houses, bitch !

This guy is amazing, Nuge.

He started out as a solid detroit rocker (yes, he is an ancestor of the White Stripes) in the 1960s and basically fired his band (Amboy Dukes) because he was straightedge and they liked pot. That was interesting counter-counterculture...and then it went downhill fast from there. I think he's kinda liberal in some (not all) of his conservation views.

Not to defend him, I think he's a basic dolt. Freakin piece of work. And not in a good way.

Remember that video? Where he busts down the door of that house? With that trench coat and evil grin? And plays the guitar solo? In a BALLAD? Remember?

That was awesome.

"Stranglehold" for the win.

I think I could have been more succinct along this point. The fact is that Bush (or at least those who put the words in Bush's mouth) is just not conservative enough for the Nuge as it SPECIFICALLY INVOLVES those issues that are dear to the Nuge's idea of what Conservatism should focus on.

The Nuge probably doesn't care much about the debate over big government, as long as U.S. conservatives are willing to (a) nuke the brown people abroad; (b) kick out the brown people in the States who can't whip out their papers fast enough; (c) punish the homos (and the stinky hippies); and (d) make sure that he can kill any animal, any time, using any means he wants.

"Piledriver," on Damn Yankees first?

Maybe?

I love Wango Tango. But that's only because I don't take it seriously at all.

Free For All I recall was good, too. And then there's...there's....damn, that's it.

Johnny, you're a good friend to Popdose and we appreciate your patronage, so I hope you won't take offense when I say "Wango Tango" sucks the giraffe's left nut.

I hate to go this far afield of topic, but I can't help myself.

You're right on Bush. He shows you Afghanistan then heads to Iraq. He shouts "No child left behind" and then raids the education subsidies to fund the war. He runs on a small government platform yet is focused exceedingly on control. The Nuge is right on those counts...

...but everyone gets to be right at least once in their lifetime. Sad for Nugent that this one was all there is left for him, aside from his antler collection.

Well, there was "Wango Tango", so that's TWO good songs after 1975. And "Free For All", in which he sings "stakes are high and so am I", which of course means he was high on snake venom or adrenaline or something. Of course. So three. That's it!

Much as I hate to defend the Nuge, he's got a point about GW Bush. While Bush is a very vocal cultural conservative, he has expanded the scope, size, and intrusiveness of the Federal government, presided over a huge increase in Federal spending and national debt, created massive unfunded mandates like No Child Left Behind, and conducted an overreaching, interventionist foreign policy.

The core tenet of the conservative movement has always been that, as Thoreau put it, "That government is best which governs least"—and whatever you think of Team Bush, it' safe to say that diminishing the influence of the Federal government is not high on their list of priorities.
