Icon10 Millions Mourn as Rocker/Activist Ted Nugent, Age 66,

Is found still alive

http://fake.trendolizer.com/2015/02/...und-alive.html

I found it mirthful.

This is indeed sad news...

I'm glad he's still kicking and can only hope those who hate him bite it.

What a brilliant bloke. My best memory is a photo of him on the cover of the New Musical Express in about 1979, sitting on a toilet.

Love him or hate him, 34 albums and sales of over 30 million records is no mean feat.

I heard that he's a self-confessed draft dodger and (not self-confessed) statutory rapist, can anyone confirm or deny these accusations?

After all, such serious accusations require strong proof.

He has called Obama a "subhuman monkey", and people who protested one of his concerts "unclean vermin".

Sounds like he has been watching "The Eternal Jew", the German 1940 version, one too many times.

My uncle dodged the draft by enlisting in the Air Force and got stationed in Vietnam anyway Tan Song Nhut in Saigon which got attacked during Tet in 68 but the Air Police managed to kill the VC sappers.

In a 1977 interview with High Times magazine, he told an [url=http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/nugent.asp]elaborate story
about failing the physical. In 2006 he [url=http://blogs.rgj.com/factchecker/2013/08/31/ted-nugent-draft-dodging-claim-revisited/] retracted the story, saying he had made it up. Given that we only have his word for both versions, the only possible verdict can be "I don't know".

As to the Statutory Rape stories, there seem to many claims by himself and it seems to be true. Just Google it.

If joining another service to avoid the Army constitutes draft-dodging, then I guess I'm a draft-dodger too.

The funny part was that after I enlisted in the Navy one of the doctors told my ingrown toenails qualified me for a 4-F. I told him no, I'd rather not avoid service for something that trivial.

Many people would have taken that as a reason not to serve

I don't care much for Ted. He has said a lot of really dumb things.

I don't go to politicians for music advice, I don't see why the reverse should happen.

That said, Nugent seems like a highly unpleasant person.
