Ted Nugent understands he that likely won’t have an official position in close friend Rick Perry’s 2012 presidential campaign — the Nuge himself admits he’s far too outspoken of a right wing rabble-rouser to be productive for the Texas Governor’s cause — but that sure as hell doesn’t mean Nugent is avoiding politics in an important election year. Nor is he ignoring rock ‘n’ roll.
In fact, Nugent is looking at new ways to combine the two.
The so-called Motor City Madman is “already booking next year’s tour to be the most effective in it’s geographical impact and its statement” in political terms, likely meaning he’ll be targeting key swing states when he hits the road in 2012. And while Nugent realizes he must hold back when stumping alongside Perry, he knows his stage is his chance to say exactly what he thinks.
“That bully pulpit can also have a serious tone to it,” Nugent explains. “But on a rock ‘n’ roll stage, I can tell Hillary Clinton to straddle my machine gun. The more something causes problems with people, the more I’ll say it ’cause it’s rock ‘n’ roll and you can eat me. But that’s a rock ‘n’ roll show. I know how to change the tone. If you can differentiate between what goes on on a rock ‘n’ roll stage and a dialogue . . . then we can actually move forward.”

Awesome! Got a link?
Great tune. Never a “hit” per se, but one of Ted’s best.
I saw KISS about seven or eight years ago in concert. Simmons made a point of saluting the troops. Same show: I’m pretty sure it was Paul Stanley who mentioned that his dad (like mine) fought in the Korean War, too.
“Well Nuge will be stumping for him on his upcoming tour.”
Where did it say that? ‘Cause it isn’t in the article you posted.
But guess what, I don’t care. Nugent is 100% and that’s just the way it is. He is human, therefore fallible. LOL

She isn’t running Einstein!

WHY are you getting so bent out of shape? This was a pretty good natured thread until now. I didn’t dis perry. I didn’t dis anyone. I didn’t say Palin was running. I didn’t say she wasn’t. You are rude and by being so, you proved a point that other perry supporters insisted wasn’t true. I am sure they will thank you for it....einstein...
See ya.
You never know - it could be that the Palins rock out to the Nuge!
Well, I sure do! He’d have to grow horns and a tail to get me to dis him.
Lets go whole hog here.

My intention was not to be rude, but rather, realistic.
BTW, I support Sarah first. I have from the beginning. That being said I despise the sniping by some of my fellow supporters to try and belittle some of the competition, especially because she is not running.
Excuse my snarkiness if I misinterpreted your original intent.
Yes sir.
Yes sir.

I did. I am having difficulty finding it again. I shared it with my son, so I’ll have to try and contact him.
