shellbella, Mon Cherie, that's the very best definition of The Tedster I've ever seen!!. "Kablam!", as Jon Stewart would say. Brava! Brava!

Gotta kill it before you grill it. I once heard him claim that his eliminations are red white and blue. The guy is kind of a crank, but he is no dummy. |

Ah hell yeah! All I can think about now is heading off into the woods with my bow and quiver full of broadheads to kill, skin, and grill some unsuspecting spawn of Bambi. Is there a lady alive that wouldn't want to spend their honeymoon in a tent in the Upper Peninsula with the Motor City Madman?
All kidding aside, he's a pretty good guitar player.

I remember an interview Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw did when they were in Damn Yankees with Nugent. They were asked, "What's the one thing you've learned during this stint?" Blades said immediately, "How to play FAST." Everyone laughed, and he followed up with, "He's not called the Motor City Madman for nothing - when you commit to one of his songs, you better be able to keep up with him because he won't slow down for you."

Saw the Amboy Dukes in Saugatuck, MI in '68. They nailed this song and I've always loved it since. Today's Nugemeister can't replicate this sound or take away from its musical enjoyment with his antics today. |

Our culture give way to much importance to the ideas of artists that speak outside of their artistic purview. Right wing nut job or Marxist Left wing nut job....Why do I care about what an actor /actress/musicians/ visual artists has to say about politics.....etc. We hear their ideas because of the bully pulpit their access provides. We see the serious issues that arise when our cultural conversation is driven by the entertainment industry.
I care about what Ted says about playing guitar....that's about it.
Although I cant resist....
"I don't care what people do in their own bedrooms, as long as they don't splash it on me..." -Ted Nugget |

I met Ted in about '94 - did sound for him at an NRA dealio at the University of Wyoming. I'll just keep the description short - he was not very nice. |

Somehow I doubt this statement is entirely true. I believe that much of the music that appeals to us the most has the qualities we most admire behind it. |
