Ted Nugent rocks!

I've been a Nuge fan since the Amboy Dukes days and I don't intend to apologize for it.

Saw Nugent live once, at Maple Leaf Gardens. Cops frisked everybody at the door. I lost a vial of really nice hash oil. They didn't charge anybody; just took your stuff.

Ted Nugent is in a bit of hot water these days on account of some untoward comments he made about the possibility of an Obama re-election. Apparently The Nuge is now a Romney fan.

You know, the "corporations are people too" guy.

Ted's been a corporation for quite a long time. Long enough that he sees more in common with Romney than with the loaded long-hairs who used to buy his concert tickets.

The people who made him wealthy.

I used to have the "Ted Nugent Double Live" album. Pretty intense for the times. Never got the sense I was listening to a corporation.

He was rapping before rap was invented.

That shout-out to Nashville pussy has to be one of the greatest lines in the history of vinyl.

Alas, Ted is showing the wear of the years.

That NRA endorsement and your take on Obama would have left that Toronto arena half empty thirty-five years ago.

But you still rock, dude!
