Brent Frazee of The Mercury News reports that the first thing you have to know about Ted Nugent is that he isn't going to apologize to anyone for hunting.
"I've got a message for all those people who think hunting is so terrible," he says. "They can kiss my (behind).
"People will say to me, 'All you want to do is kill things.' But if that was true, I'd be out there with a grenade launcher.
"People who don't hunt don't realize how spiritual it is to hunt with a bow. They don't realize how close that animal has to be before you can get off a shot.
"It's not just the killing. But I'm not going to apologize for that part. That's part of hunting."
Of course, some more conservative hunters grimace when Nugent shows a kill in detail on his television show or when he launches into a rant about the thrill of the kill.
"He's a loose cannon, covering the trails with washtubs of blood," Glenn St. Charles, founder of the national Pope & Young Bow hunting club, told Outside magazine.
David Petersen, editor of the book "A Hunter's Heart", was even more pointed.
"He's obnoxious, brash and a bully," Peterson told the magazine. "He embodies and magnifies aspects of hunting that the general public detests."
But there's little question that Nugent has a loyal following, too.
"Ted has his facts down," said Dick Mauch, director of the Archery Manufacturers Organization. "He is very articulate and is also bold, honest, not shy or afraid to meet any challenge."
But it's the support that comes from unlikely sources that Nugent takes the most pride in.
"At every one of my programs, I'll have people come up to me and say, 'You know, I was an anti-hunter before I came in here, but you've changed my mind,' " Nugent says. "I'm (57) years old, but the young people still connect with me.
"When they see me on TV celebrating the killing of a deer, they notice. A lot of these kids hated hunting until they starting listening to me and started learning what it's all about."

Is he still ranting about that? He must like to see his name in the papers or something. They should news-black out-him. |

DRAFT DODGER RAG
(Phil Ochs)
I'm just a typical American boy from a typical American town
I believe in God and Senator Todd and keeping old Castro down
And when it came my time to serve I knew better dead than red
But when I got to my old draft board, buddy, this is what I said:
Sarge, I'm only eighteen, I got a ruptured spleen
And I always carry a purse
I got eyes like a bat, my feet are flat, and my asthma's
getting worse
O think of my career, my sweetheart dear, and my poor old
invalid aunt
Besides, I ain't no fool, I'm a goin' to school, and I'm
working in a defense plant
I've got a dislocated disc and a racked up back
I'm allergic to flowers and bugs
And when bombshells hit, I get epileptic fits
And I'm addicted to a thousand drugs
I got the weakness woes, I can't touch my toes
I can hardly touch my knees
And if the enemy came close to me
I'd probably start to sneeze
I hate Chou En Lai, and I hope he dies,
but one thing you gotta see
That someone's gotta go over there
but that someone isn't me
So I wish you well, Sarge, give 'em Hell
Yeah kill me a thousand or more
And if you ever get a war without blood and gore
Well I'll be the first to go |
