Ted seems like a well informed musician hip to all the issues, yet his craze for arms scares me a tad bit. Anyone cath the show? he was referred to as the "Motor City Madman" |

He is the Motor City madman. But he needs to zip it and play his guitar. There is something hackneyed about a psycho-madman rock-and-roller with a social message. Seriously, one or the other.
Nothing wrong with guns, we have a people problem. |

Was this the episode where Bourdain was traveling the southwest to find oddball places and he had a barbecue at Nugent's Texas compound?
If so, it's an older episode. I can't stand Nugent anymore. He's a caricature. |

Nugent is the Feiger of the Republican party. A person who has no business holding elected office but is delusional enough to think he should and the money to burn to run. |

That episode was from lat last year, i think. Actually I love No Reservations, but that episode about the SW was kinda disappointing. Although it was cool to see Anthony rocking on the M-60.
He was in Detroit a couple weeks ago for an episode that I believe will air later this year. Maybe I missed a thread on it... |

He is doing a series on the rust belt cities, He ate at Polonia in Hamtramck. He surrounded himself with laid off workers from the area, one of which was my father. |

When making a comment, that 14-year-old-junior-high-boy smirking grin on Ted's face might have worked for him 30 years ago, but now that he is an old man, it's just pathetic.
Unfortunately, Ted Nugent never has had an unuttered thought. When Bourdain asked Nugent what he would do if Democrats won the White House, Ted put on his smirk and said, "A target-rich environment". Hopefully that little piece of stupidity won him a visit by the Secret Service. |

I dont like his music(although I do like the Lourds and the Amboy Dukes though). As far as his views I kinda agree with a lot of what Ted has to say. I dont agree with his views about welfare reform, but thats just me.
The thing I admire most about Ted is whenever he mentioned music or Detroit he always acknowledges the Funk Brothers. How can you dislike him for that? |

I disagree with every choice Ted makes or has made in his life. He is a walking caricature of the "angry white male", the ill-educated, poorly mannered ilk, the lowest common denominator who should not encourage the same in the gullible public. Texas deserves the boob right along with Shrub and Kwame. Then push Texas off into the gulf and let it secede along with Palin's Alaska. |

yes, I could see how a man that is anti-drug, family oriented, rich, hunts and eats what he kills, has the stamina of a man half his age, lives a closer to nature life than anyone on this forum, has a grasp on national and global events, and says what he means and means what he says would "scare people" on this forum..... |

yes, I could easily see how these choices would turn you against him; He is a man that is anti-drug, family oriented, rich, hunts and eats what he kills, has the stamina of a man half his age, lives a closer to a naturalistic life than anyone on this forum, has a grasp on national and global events, and says what he means and means what he says. yeah, I could see how you would disagree with that!..... |

Ongowwah, I wonder if his wife felt Ted was "family-oriented" while he screwed underage teen girls? I would tend to think most people considered him a pedophile. I agree with you about his "grasp of national and global events", and it's the same "grasp" held by Shrub and the evil Cheney. Warmongers all. I think Ted has sexual problems because he must constantly bring his guns on stage. Or, is that to satisfy the insecurity of the typical idiotic Dittoheads of his audience? Yes, that's a very "naturalistic" existence!
And, yes, you are correct to point out that "ALL" is an exaggeration. I heartily agree with his decision to split from Michigan. Texans deserves him.
Stamina is not a "choice". I have the same stamina at nearly the same age but I do not choose it. I attain it by NOT eating animal MEATS.
"Anti-drug" maybe is not a good stance for him. He actually could use some anti-psychotic medicines.
Is "rich" a choice? Many of us are also attaining wealth but in ways that do not encourage the lowest common denominator warmongering, fearmongering, hatred among the people. I'd rather NOT have his money if I had to be a hypocrite to get it.
I do agree that it is a choice to "say what you mean and mean what you say". That's sort of a trite expression but he's hardly the only one who has made or makes that choice in life. I am doing so right now.
He's a paranoid, right-wingnut, gun-toting, warmongering, poor educated, ill-mannered fool. And I mean that! |

I don't care for his politics but the man is a mean guitar player, and while I only watched his show once it was hilarious to see him paintball-hunting urban hipsters. I'd pay good money to do that. |

Actually dittoheads are different.They are more "republican." As in, organized political party to the right of center. More professional, less abrasive.
The Nuge is a bit more of an independent radical right-winger. Actual Republicans are closer to mainstream america, with a few zealots thrown in. Nugent is more like the rebellious "militia" kind that even people sharing some of his views find difficult and unreasonable. I would consider him to be walking the trail toward Michael Savage territory.
I haven't figured out if all the stuff he says is how he really feels, or he just puts on a convincing act. |

Though deadly Tedley is a pretty crappy guitarist, he has a good taste in music, so when he started that radio station "Dah Bear", it was funny because Doug Podell got all kinds of pissed off and WRIF stopped playing any Ted or even saying his name... and then everyone got all pissed off because Dah Bears signal strength was spotty at best. And after the station folded, ol' Deadly busted it to Texas. He one scary daddy! |

Y'all can have him back anytime. Unfortunately there are too many rednecks here who think he's a god. He's okay as a musician/singer but his views are beyond radical of either end of the spectrum.
Try dealing with anyone like him who HAS to be "on" all the time. You just can't say "Hey, how ya doing?" without them going into a diatribe & forcing their opinion on you. And you know what they say about opinions. |

Doug Podell is a flamin lib, ever hear the tripe from NPR on WCSX early on Sunday mornings? That's his baby. I called in once and shut up the little weasel baby sitting the controls, he finally stammered, and said well all you can do is contact Doug Podell, he's the manager of this segment. |

Alright, this aint no Podell bashin' arena, and I retract the "crappy guitarist" characterization. Ted is a DECENT guitarist and quite a showman, it's his life and he seems to be enjoying it over a long stretch of time, so... whatever, more power to 'im.
Just wish we (Michigan) could've gotten Billy Gibbons for a trade. Have mercy. |

classicyesfan: I am not stirring up fear among the people that we are in immediate danger of "terrorist" attacks, as Cheney is doing. As Ted does continually, as Shrub has done repeatedly....I have not told anyone to do what I say not what I do. I recommend that you do as I do. I am no hypocritcal panderer to the lowest denominator. And, yes, since I put thought in my post, and wrote my post, I read my post! I don't see any great revelation in your post however. It appears to me though that you "have issues" and maybe some anger management training might help you reduce your tendency towards personal attacks on me. |

I know conservative musicians who's exceptional ability allows me to better tolerate their views.
Based on his musical talent, Ted would have vanished into the obscurity of an occasional VH-1 "Where are they Now?" episode, had he not rebranded himself as gun-waving, polarizing twit.
He's not good enough at his original occupation to be allowed a public opinion about anything.
Sorry. |

How about some examples? The only conservative musicians I'm aware of are Nugent (if you can call him that-"right wing militant might be more accurate) and maybe a few country singers. |

Ted and his lifestyle represents what the future of Detroit will be, every citizen armed to the teeth, instead of hunting animals for food, the future citizens of Detroit will hunt and kill each other, for drugs, sunglasses, tennis shoes and cars.

I played some rock n roll around Detroit back in the early 70s in a band called Stonefront. We opened for Ted Nugent and Bob Seeger on a short tour once. My amp blew up onstage and I didn't have a backup. Panicked roadies asked Nugent if I could borrow one of his amps. Basically told us if we didn't have $100 cash right then.....screw off. Bob Seger couldn't lend me an amp fast enough.
