My Favorite Crazy Uncle

Back on stage, kicking more rear than President Obama ever thought about, and naming names, Ted Nugent's music, energy and attitude remain forever young. You'd never guess he is 61 years old. In The Washington Times, he writes:
The embarrassing disconnect of an increasingly spoiled nation of freedom abusers has created a serious anti-American mess here, and I just thought the old guitar player could shine the spotlight of common sense on some ridiculously simple basics for y'all.
Like everything else he composes, the article's enthusiasm for our country and our freedom is contagious. Rock on, Uncle Ted.

Good ol'd Ted Nudgent. He's a big favorite back in Detroit, especially for that one week each year where he'd sit in as a guest DJ on one of the local rock stations (WLLZ?). You never knew what he was going to say next - that was half the fun. Back in the day we didn't think much about politics, but over the years as I grew up just a little bit, it became clear that he just tells it like he sees it, which is too rare today. I hadn't seen the article - thanks for pointing it out.

Ted shows up as a guest on Dennis Miller's radio show every now and then, and it's always great fun to listen to.
At first I think Dennis didn't quite know what to make of him, but now he sits back and lets Ted go wherever he wants and Dennis just enjoys the ride.

The Nuge played my dad's high school in the late '60s. When the show started, the students jumped up from their seats and scurried down to sit at the foot of the stage. The vice principal, an iron lady, commanded that the boys and girls return to their seats. Whereupon the Nuge, using coarse language, commanded the vice principal to leave those kids alone.
Whereupon she stormed out.
Nothing like this had ever happened before. The Revolution had come to Detroit.
