a singer/guitarist who was in a band in the late 50s that had a hit with "Journey to the Center of the Mind". He went solo in the mid 70s. He gained a reputation for his wild stage antics and meandering crazy
gonzo onstage rants. He has released many albums but the only good solo songs he has made are "
Little Miss Dangerous" (used in an episode of
Miami Vice) and the radio hit "
Cat Scratch Fever". Such a small number of good songs from a 30-year+ career is a mighty sad ratio. In the 90s he was a member of the derivative band
Damn Yankees. A gun enthusiast and hunting fan, he's caused controversy by his support of
canned hunting and killing animals for no damn good reason. He says that all environmentalists and animal advocates can "kiss his ass". He did his damndest to get out of the draft during the
Vietnam War era (1958 - 1975) but now is a
cheerleader and
armchair warrior, claiming to "
support the troops". A complete
dumbass hypocrite. He visited one of
Saddam Hussein's palaces like a
spectator after the
Iraqi dictator was deposed.
Terrible Ted said he really got a thrill out of that. It's OK to take a look around after the violence has gone someplace else and you're out of danger, isn't it? Ted said that
Baghdad should've been "
Nagasaki"ed. Sheer
ignorance. Since he supports the
Iraq War so much, why don't he ship his cowardly
ass over to
Iraq and fight it as well? He has done and said countless other
offensive things. He is a slave to an
extreme political ideology. He is now a
droid, a
brainwashed robot who can't think for himself and cannot accept the
diversity that
America is supposed to be.
In a concert in
Michigan a few years ago, a journalist writing a review of a Ted Nugent concert noted that Ted performed an "idolatrous ritual" of "worshipping the
American flag". Ted Nugent has long been known to be
obnoxious in his concerts and such. Now he's also a
pushy extremist loudmouth cretin asshole programmed by an ideology. Sad.
