That's pretty much word for word what I thought. Though maybe that is me letting him off too lightly because I like a couple of his records so much. I guess I wont know until someone whose music I actually hate makes the same kind of statement in public.
Well, the thing is, he, like some other artists we could mention, are known more their 'character' than their music to the vast majority of people these days. Let's face it, Morrissey, some one you might see as TN's antithesis, spent a looooooong time being known for his 'outrageous' viewpoints rather than his records until "You Are The Quarry" rescued him from the doldrums...for a bit anyway. Rock n Roll is littered with old silly buggers, particularly those with something of a 'rep', saying stupid, obnoxious things cos it's all people wanna hear from them anymore.
It doesn't make Ted Nugent's comments any less abhorrent but then knowing it diminshes their power and makes him look more like a ...well, silly old cunt, than anything dangerous.
He should call his next album "Silly Old Cunt". Half the promo is done!
