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.
