Have I mentioned I like Ted Nugent?

[SlowDave]

Ted's not perfect, but I have tremendous respect for anyone in the public eye who says what they're thinking with no editing. I believe Ted really says what he thinks. And nearly every bit of it I agree with.

I frequently say what I think, but it usually gets me in trouble with my wife.

And sometimes, it gets me in trouble with a moderator.

That's been around for a while, but I still like it. You gotta love Uncle Ted!!

Is he still adopting 16 year olds so he can sleep with them?

Never heard this one. Do Tell!

From Wikipedia:

In 1978, Nugent began an infamous relationship with a seventeen year old Hawaii native named Pele Massa. Due to the shocking twenty year age difference between him and Massa, Nugent could not marry the young woman; so he instead asked Pele's parents if he could be her legal guardian. Owing to Ted's unwillingness to stay faithful, their relationship ended soon afterward[1]. His first wife was Sandra Jezowski, to whom he was married in 1970 and divorced in 1976.[12] Sandra died in a car crash in 1982.[12]

How accurate that is - heck, it's Wikipedia, hence not the most reliable source of facts.

Although I am in no way condoning a relationship with a minor. In 1978, Uncle Ted was 30 (born in December of 1948) so the age difference between them was 13 years rather than a "shocking twenty"." You are so right about Wikipedia! What's really sad is that some people think because its printed on the Internet, it's fact.

I also though that Wikipedia was fact until I found out what it is. A collaboration of individuals opinions supposedly backed by factual references. I also learned its a liberal socialist media outlet.

Let's play a bit. Assuming the relationship with the Polynesian girl was accurate (and distasteful on the face of it), I would be willing to chalk that up to immaturity in the midst of the rock and roll culture...sobriety not withstanding. Evidently, you can run a male escort service out of your apartment and still remain in the senate.

Sobriety, yes I absolutely believe it. He was raised 7th Day Adventist (IIRC) and thus had the healthy diet and intoxicant prohibitions "hard wired". Weird Al is another one, I know where he goes (or went) to church. The point being is you can create a marketable "crazy" image without ever touching a drop of alcohol or a gram of anything else.

I spent the first half of my life as an atheist and have committed some atrocious sins, but that was a different person. I think we could allow for maturation and conviction of his ideals at this stage in his life.

No, we can't.

I'm not sure what you are saying. However let me clarify. I am not a moral relativist in any stretch of imagination. What I am saying is, not knowing his spiritual condition, his behavior and positions demonstrate a clear and non-compromising direction. Though there are some, few politicians should be looked to as moral standards. What I look for in an elected representative is clarity and unwavering focus on ideals generally in alignment with mine. So far not doing too good.

This is all moot though, I doubt he would run and if he did I'm sure that album cover and everything else the "machine" could do to destroy him would come into play.

I assume this is a joke.

I've spent the majority of my life as an atheist and have NOT committed atrocious sins btw

Its not a joke. Ted Nugent is a crazy foam at the mouth nutjob who made some sort of decent albums a few years back. I'd no sooner think upon his comments then I would Madonna or some half coked up actress. He's worse as he gives normal average joe hunters and conservatives a bad name.

Oh you are talking about Nugent, I thought you were talking about Dragon Fighter.
I like Nugent, but I think that yes, he can push it too far for some, but then again why are we trying to hide our true passions?

[frazzled]

We're not I don't think. He just annoys me, like most of the entertainment industry. (to them) If you're not singing, acting, whatever then shut up. I don't want to hear your opinions on anything except your vocation. Generally entertainers are unqualified to speak on anything else.

I spent the weekend with him and Gov. Perry when I worked for Clay Walker. They were all turkey hunting... I really enjoyed his stories and he is a really Kool Kat.

i worked in the entertainment industry for 8 years, I find your comment very inaccurate... how many "famous" people do you know personally?
