There's an interesting interview at Salon.com featuring "The Nuge", Ted Nugent. My favorite part:

The environmental squawkers at Greenpeace and Sierra Club, though there are many hardcore, well intentioned, and even very effective activists in those green organizations, I don't think any of them can hold a candle to what I do. I balance the land. The Mitchell-Satcher butterfly is thriving on my property based on the scientific report that I kill enough deer to save the Christmas tree fern so that they can produce and breed! That's how you do that! It's not heh-heh, the deer's in danger heh-heh, let's save Bambi! Let's live forever! Heh-heh Shut the fuck up! Have some more LSD on your Cheerios and go jam with Jerry Garcia! That's nonsense!

mmm...LSD on cheerios. Reminds me of my college breakfast concoction that I affectionately called "beerios". This sounds even better, though.

Remember that Damn Yankees video where they massaccre the domesticated deer at the end? Real fucking class, Nuge. And for those of you in the UK who happen to be blisfully ignorant of Da Nuge, this is the kinda loose nut we're talking about:

Ted Nugent Essence of Life Gonzo Recipe:

1) Go hunting, breathe deep, feel the air, take the Spirit inside, and kill a critter.
2) Remove the hair. Immediately clean and cool the carcass. Butcher flesh into family-size portions.
3) Start fire. Heat good fresh vegetable oil to boiling point in an iron skillet.
4) Fill zipbag with flour, salt and pepper, and good seasoning mixture. Add small, manageable chunks of meat; shake and slide coated pieces into hot oil to sizzle.
5) As brown crust forms on edges, remove onto paper towel. Salivate. Surround yourself with family and friends. Put on plates next to smashed potatoes with skins on. Cut, eat, grin, sip Vernor's Ginger Ale, burp, enjoy.

From just reading and listening to short sound bite interviews, I REALLY disliked him. However, after seeing him clarify his views on Politically Incorrect a few times, he strikes me as someone who does care about the balance of nature in an almost primitive way. I dont' agree with him, but you have to respect how he does live what he preaches and backs it up when pressed on it, unlike many Gun Fanatics who just froth at the mouth and spout catch-phrases.

Sometimes I wonder if Nugent contracted syphyllis at some point and it finally reached his brain. I admire the strength of his convictions, but he goes a bit overboard when it comes to everyone going out and slaughtering anything on four legs. However, if he really has planted 100,000 trees with his own bare hands then that's quite an impressive accomplishment.

On the bright side, The Nuge doesn't appear to trophy hunt: he shoots deer, he eats them. Given that said deer no longer have natural predators and the US Forestry Dept has to organize culls every summer, somehow I can think there are worse convictions about how to live.

Henry rollins in his spoken word talks about seeing ted nugent live
says he was down until Nuge shouted
"I'm gonna play so sexy tonight the faggots will be eating pussy!"

gotta wonder about a guy like that, sometimes like my grandfather out hunting, sometimes like a freaked out frat boy.

Courtesy of this week's Onion:

Ted Nugent Talks That Way Even When Buying Socks
SAGINAW, MI—According to JC Penney men's-department sources, rocker Ted Nugent talks that way even when buying socks. "What color socks do I want? I want every damn color, plus a whole bunch of colors that don't even exist," Nugent told sales associate Jonathan Alexander. "Life is too short, man. Whether it's socks or shoes or whatever, you gotta bite into life like it's a great big ol' hunk of bison. Otherwise, you wake up and suddenly—poof—you're fat and old, and you never had any friggin' fun. And if you're not having fun, you may as well move to Iraq or Cuba or some other hellhole where there ain't no good times to be had." Nugent added that that's the way he sees it, and that if you don't like it, you can kiss his lily-white ass.

I loves me some Onion.

As far as the deer issue goes, it's pretty bad in parts of North America. Their only natural predators are crazy hunters and cars. However, they have a nasty tendancy of taking the cars with them when they die, and sometimes take out a few car occupants as well. I've almost hit a deer once or twice, and I sort of wish Mr. Nugent had been there to protect me from its wrath.

Last time I checked, LSD didn't have a noticeable taste, why would you put it on cherrios, silly.

Of course, Hendrix is dead now...

Because it's part of a balanced breakfast?

And while Hendrix is in fact very and truly dead, I still think it shows great conviction to turn down a joint from him. In the same interview, the Nuge said when Hendrix saw his pistol in his shoulder holster, he asked Nugent "what's that all about, man?" to which Nugent replied "What do you mean, 'what's that about'? It's not about anything. It's just the way I was raised. Three things you never leave home without: a hankerchief, a knife, and a gun."

Weird. I never leave home without a knife and a handkerchief.
