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.
