Hey Ted, tell the story about the time you shit yourself on purpose before going to the draft board. How you smeared yourself in your own shit so you could avoid getting drafted. Tell us again what a great patriot you are. Fucking hypocrite coward. Just like your orange stink hero.
While I'm not a fan of her music, does that mean she ruined so called "real" music? Hell no. Of course I'm also not an insecure, has been, redneck, blah blah blah either so at least I got that going for me
Ted "self confessed statutory rapist, twice married with six children by four women while calling himself a social conservative" Nugent said something unpleasant? Shocker.
Prior to the pandemic I was visiting Reno and went to the Nugget for a steak. They had (maybe still do) one of the best dead cows I've ever eaten. I've always liked dives (bars or casinos) so the slightly dilapidated conditions there were not surprising. But, there at the entrance (where the stale cigarette smoke first hits you) was an advert for Nugent. I can't imagine immersing oneself in that environment, nor in any way giving him money.
Damn Yankees came together well after Nugent's radio peak anyway. All of the Nugent songs you may know from the local classic rock stations came out in like the mid 70s.
Patton Oswalt talked about how he was in the super group "Damn Yankees," the one music video where the band is cornered in a house, and Nugent comes out dressed like Liberace's stunt double. Then, he became a deranged lunatic.
I think Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw considered him as a deranged lunatic even before Damn Yankees, but he didn't hate "High Enough" when they presented it to him.
I don't always correct what looks like auto corrects, but since you used right instead twice I thought it might be an actual mistake. Fever brain however, also explains it.
Meanwhile, Kid Rock forced upon us some bastardization of Sweet Home Alabama and Werewolves of London where he stretches his creative limits by rhyming "things" and "things" in the chorus. But sure, Swift is the problem.
I live in the Detroit area, which is his homeland despite his insistence he's a Confederate Southerner, and even here the rock stations don't play anything after he first few albums.
Kid Rock was always about suburbanite white boys larping at being wild and untamed poor trash while living under their moderately successful parent's rules. There was never any pretense at all about authenticity. Those same fans evolved today into MAGA asshats that will talk about how rough they had it growing up and how hard they worked to get where they are today all on their own. Kid Rock simply went with where the fans went in song topics to stay a smidge relevant to someone out there.
I'm not trying to defend the bastard here, but there are a lot of musicians who write songs 'from another person's perspective'. Cannibal Corpse has a song called Fucked With a Knife (it's a love song). Do I think George Fisher (who wrote it) actually wants to stalk a woman and impale her nether regions with a kitchen knife? No. He's a nice fellow. He just writes songs about terrible things.
Blarf, meant to add more to that in that, my bad. In regards to Nugent, unlike Fisher, I think he was actually writing about his own personal fantasies and not simply making up a scenario to write a story song about. Just wanted to toss it out there that not every song is meant as a songwiter's personal feelings, ideas, and opinions being poured out into the song. Nugent's were. But not everyone is such a piece of trash.
proof that the adage -"w/age comes wisdom" - has w/some serious qualifications. or living proof that - "trust the art: not the artist" - was written for his kind of ilk.
Dude, you don't know who Turd Nugget is? Alright, so basically he made some decent rock in the 70s, and he's been coasting on that since then, while becoming an increasingly ridiculous far-right extreme lunatic; anti-vaxxer, says covid ain't real, supports Trump, sleeps with minors, defended apartheid while making racist remarks about Africans in 1990 (and just super racist in general), complained about how the US didn't nuke Iraq in '04, insulted school shooting survivors over becoming gun 1/
control activists, called BLM terrorists, is against support for Ukraine, is blatantly homophobic, is against animal rights, has been fined for illegal hunting, threatens people (got investigated for threats against Obama, said animal rights activists should be killed, said you should shoot Democrats and media, etc)... and basically the tl;dr is that he's a fucking lunatic who no one should take seriously, but sadly far too many people do.

Ted Nugent had one fucking song that he didn't even sing. He just played the fucking guitar. Why in the fuck did he ever become popular?

So because she makes music he doesn’t like she is wrong…. Sounds like a direct correlation to the whole extreme right wing agenda

She's not a teen idol or diva. She's got talent and very savvy. I'm not a fan boy, but I respect her for staying really focused. Kudos

Ted Nugent used to produce quite relevant music too. It's incredibly sad - though quite unexpected - to see him flop this bad on a take.
QuasiIntellectualChimpanzee
Like the song Jailbait? Relevant?
thatwoodguy
His former bandmates in Damn Yankees had a lot to say about him off the record. Lets just say Shaw's southern gentleman instincts clashed with Ted's
TheSpleen
He sings about raping children, not really my style of music.
ScienceIsNotALiberalConspiracy
Didn't he have sex with his daughter?
Hashbrown123
He "adopted" her so he could rape her while crossing state lines and not get in trouble.

I worked on a show he was on when I lived in Vegas and can confirm firm he’s an asshole.

I wouldn't listen to Swift if you paid me. Well, maybe if you paid me a lot. But otherwise no. But Nugent? He's a worthless piece of scum.
The22ndDoctor
You should, she's got a ton of talent, and is a wonderful storyteller. Which is why Ryan Adams covered 1989.

No, just no. With rare exception, POP sucks. But that still leaves Nugent as a POS.

Bad Blood is a pretty good song by Swift.

Given that it was one of the most commercially successful song of his career, I'm sure he declines all the royalty checks he still gets.

Are you not familiar with his classic "hit" "Jailbait" (Link to printed lyrics: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/tednugent/jailbait.html )

It's LITERALLY about trying to fuck 13 year olds as an adult. He released it at the ever so young age of 32!
