Genuinely surprised (and appalled) by that.
Granted The Nuge has been cartooning his Stars N Stripes selling point for a good few decades now. He's as cartoon as KISS are in his bow-toting raw meat eating way.
But, at the heart of it appeared to be essentially, a gung-ho libertarian. He once claimed he'd "die" for the "right" for homosexuals to go about their business even if he didn't care for them as a sexual preference. And I've read that he extolled the virtues of black people and in fact proclaimed himself to be "black" in the sense of the roots of rock n roll.
I dunno, this sounds more like just a totally cretinous effort to still shock and outrage when he's playing clubs in some town to ever diminshing returns. Sad more than anything really. Silly old cunt.
