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?
