Poor Ted Nugent. He's really upset that he doesn't realize that his music is irrelevant, or maybe his music is so irrelevant that he has to resort to making patented "outrageous" statements to get any press these days.
Mr. Nugent, famous for that one song, you know, the one that all the classic rock stations play, I think Meat Loaf sings it, let fly with said statements in an interview with culture magazine Royal Flush, a magazine that boasts a circulation of 50,000 people which, while slightly higher than the readership of this blog, is still spit in the ocean compared to real publications.
Terrible Ted says that "Barack Hussein Obama should be put in jail. It is clear that Barack Hussein Obama is a communist." So, now we should jail people for their political beliefs? The only thing that the racist "Nuge" hates about President Obama, is the fact that he's black.
Terrible Ted then goes on to list a number of people he feels should die. Pam Anderson, Bill Maher, people who step on his lawn, animal rights activists, and vegans. But most of his rage is directed towards Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner for "Jann Wenner won’t do a story on my sold-out tour this year because I’m on the board of directors at the NRA. Jann Wenner should die." Sold out tour? Really? I live in the heart of his happy hunting ground home state of Michigan, where every appearance he makes is covered incessantly by the local crass, er, classic rock stations, and I didn't hear a word about any tour, let alone about it being 'sold out', and since I don't believe The "Nuge" has the drawing power to fill any arena/stadium outside of Michigan, I'm sure his tour consisted of small clubs, bars and dives where alcohol soaked brains clamor for the music it remembers from a time before most the brain cells were killed by alcohol consumption.
But, really, Ted Nugent is a pussy. Given a chance back in the sixties to fulfill his anti-communist zeal and kill as many as he wanted, Nugent chickened out, and got a draft deferment. You see, the difference between shooting animals and shooting communists is that animals aren't armed with weapons trying to kill you back. Most animals just want to co-exist with their dwindling surroundings, so it's easy to sneak up on them and shoot them in the back like a coward.
So, since Mr. Nugent is unable to compose a good song on his own that might generate some airplay, or develop his stagnant guitar style which hasn't evolved since "Wango Tango", his only other alternative is to behave like a neanderthal jackass in order to draw attention to his narrow and twisted political beliefs.
Ted made a lot of money in the sixties and seventies extolling the virtues of the whole "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" lifestyle, now has the gall to criticize those poor souls who made Nugent rich taking the message to heart by becoming too incompetent to work and having far too many babies than they can afford. Ted, that makes you a fucking hypocrite, and as I have become fond of saying, you cant spell fucking hypocrite with out the GOP, of which Nugent is one of the few people left on the right willing to identify themselves with that party.
So, go ahead Ted, and blame your political affiliations for your "lack of press coverage", the truth is Ted, you are a talentless hack who lost his audience when they sobered up enough to realize just how badly you suck. The sooner you realize this, the sooner you can concentrate your attention on the one thing you do that makes you any money. Killing creatures not evolved enough to fire weapons back at you.

If that man had any talent, I could boycott his records. But, it would be an empty gesture because he is as pathetic as Taylor Swift.
libhom,
I think everybody has already been boycotting his records, because I never see him on any charts....
I would have to give Taylor Swift props for recording music that people actually want to listen to, although I don't...
It's true that Nugent's concerts are sold out. The other night he played at the Dew Drop Inn and all twelve seats were taken.
Tom,
And those twelve people showed up because they heard Foghat was opening up for him.....
I saw the Nuge open up for Aerosmith in 1985ish. Everyone sucked. Tickets are a long story.
He keeps his money tight. Pretty sure anything he does in public, anything, is to improve his bottom line. That's clear to me.
