Ted Nugent is doing dope, or has brain damage from doing dope.

What other explanation is there for this latest rant?

Ted Nugent: Verizon Dropped Sportsman Channel Because Obama Hates America

Submitted by Miranda Blue on Thursday, 9/10/2015 4:37 pm

Earlier this month, Verizon announced that it was dropping The Sportsman Channel from its lineup from its Fios service “due to its low viewership.” But NRA board member and Sportsman Channel fan Ted Nugent knows the real reason for the Verizon lineup change: President Obama and the media’s “anti-Americanism.” Nugent called into Alex Jones’ “Infowars” program yesterday to rail against Verizon for giving “the toxic middle finger of communism” and “anti-Americanism” to viewers like him, which he managed to link to President Obama, the Affordable Care Act, the 2012 Benghazi attack and the IRS.

did back in '81 or '82, when I was 18 or 19 years old and heavy into music and bands. I can't remember if it was The Rolling Stone or one of the other music publications out back then, but he stated in the interview that he had never used alcohol or drugs, wouldn't let his (then)13 year old daughter attend his concerts *or* listen to his music, and that how he acted on stage was just that... a stage act, putting on a show for the people who ate it up. He had found a way to earn money and it was paying off good. He was total opposite in his real life and his music was no reflection of his personal life.

I am 52 now, but still remember that because it really stood out to me way back then, in an era that we had some of our favorite musicians dying, or already dead, due to drugs and alcohol.

Now I feel dirty...

Peace,

Ghost

His technique for dodging the draft was just one example.

so the interview must have been '80 or '81. It was around Thanksgiving of '81 when I met him. I wasn't "star-struck" or anything. He was really laid back and mellow, and had a genuine love for deer hunting and conservation, as did I back then. He talked about hunter's safety, living off the land and conserving the land for the future.

I didn't learn about his draft-dodging, politics or pedophile tendencies until MANY years later.

Now I feel dirty again...

Peace,

Ghost
