So I've never been a big fan of Ted Nugent or Kid Rock's Music.....

[Skinhead]

But I have always admired them for their patriotism and common sense.  Last night they and Sarah Palin had dinner at the WH with the POTUS, They supported him during his campaign, and continue to do so.  The picture in front of Hilary's official portrait is the icing on the cake!  BTW, Has anyone one heard from her lately?  No?   Kinda nice ain't it?

Interview with Nugent below:


QUESTION: So, how did this come together?

ANSWER: Donald Trump reached out to Sarah Palin and said to invite people that she — well, I’ll let her use her own words — but people who matter, people who’d like to have dinner at the White House and that you think are influential and connected. And I don’t mean that in a (cocky) way, I basically mean people that are involved in their we-the-people responsibilities. Hellooo!

So she called, said President Trump had confirmed and he’d like us to attend. We got a buddy with a plane and off we go.

And of course, his team had called me on (Nov. 8, to request an inauguration performance) after I’d done the Freedom Hill and Grand Rapids (campaign rallies). They saw that rock ’n’ roll is cool and has a life of its own and is a force to reckon with. But my political connection, especially with we-the-people Michiganiacs — the Michiganiacs in the asset column, the ones that produce, the ones with alarm clocks, you know those folks? They’re still alive and well across the country.

They saw how I connected with that audience at Freedom Hill and again in Grand Rapids, and that I knew exactly what buttons to push. And I mean that in a genuine, sincere way — important issues that are important to people who want quality of life and believe that individuals should earn their own way and be an asset to their family, community and country. (Trump) knew that’s the basis of American politics — where we the people monitor the actions of our elected employees and we raise hell with them and demand accountability. It’s not rocket science. Even the author of “Wango Tango” can figure this (stuff) out, you know what I mean?

Q: What did you guys talk about?

A: Everything! Rock ’n’ roll and hunting and guns and venison and energy and borders and military strength and Supreme Court justices and good food and pretty girls. What would you and I talk about around a campfire? I’m sure our conversations would run the gamut of the human experience and things that bring us joy and quality of life and intrigue and humor.

Q: Did he pick your brain?

A: Oh, boy! Yes, indeed. I wish you’d get Kid Rock on the phone to confirm. Tell you the best way to describe it: Too bad you can’t use the word “s----kicker,” because it was a s----kicker, fun evening. I’ve got to tell you, it was so open, so unguarded, so down-to-earth and free-flowing. It was like I was hanging out with a bunch of my rock ’n’ roll buddies or at a hunting camp. Or hanging with some Teamsters, or hanging out with working-hard-playing-hard ranchers and cops and teachers.

He gave us a tour of that White House — I don’t think anybody’s ever had a better tour. The president took us to every room and looked at every painting and talked about every bed and every carpet and every rug and every bulletproof glass. It was just awesome.

Q: Did you get the sense that he saw you and (Kid Rock) as a conduit to a part of America he’s intent on staying in touch with?

A: Yes — though I felt in my gut that was not the driving force. But he needed to hear — and that’s where the word s----kicker comes up. We talked about demographics and our fan base and how work-hard-play-hard America identified (with Trump). Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania — those are not reliably blue states.

And that’s why my media in those states and across the country I think resonated. I really got the licensed deer hunters, the NRA members, the people who believe in freedom and gun rights, I got them to vote. Because they saw nothing to vote for in McCain or Romney, and rightly so. But it was a tragic miscalculation, because they gave it to Obama. If you really analyze it, that’s what happened (in 2008 and 2012). The s----kickers didn’t come out. So we sent the wimps packing. And Trump’s no wimp.

Here’s another real accurate overview: Trump is swinging an American crowbar at all things status quo. Does that ring any bells? Does that sound like a guitar player from Detroit who was anti-dope, pro-law enforcement, pro-gun, during the hippie days? It’s swinging a crowbar at all things status quo, because all things status quo ruin everything they come in contact with. The entrenched establishment politics is just obscene, and here comes a guy who’s not afraid to lift that middle finger. And God knows that resonates with Bob Ritchie (Kid Rock) and Uncle Ted and Sarah Palin.

Q: I have to say I’ve never gotten a good feel for his music tastes. He’s always struck me as a guy too focused on other things to spend much time with it.

A: You’re right, it’s not easy to pin that down, because we have no indicators. There’s never been a review or discussion of his musical tastes. But boy, he knew my songs. And he knew Bob’s songs. When I gave him this autographed guitar — I brought a red, white and blue guitar that Bob signed, too — he started beating on it, doing his best Elvis Presley impersonation. It was really rather precious.

And he was able to reference Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley and Little Richard. Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley. He’s got a couple of years on me — he’s 70 — and those are certainly the core influences of all things Detroit music and certainly Kid Rock and Ted Nugent, and he was aware of that. And I don’t think he did research just so he could bring up Bo Diddley’s name to me. He knew about this stuff, and he referenced it often.

Q: So, what was on the dinner menu? Did you show up with any wild game?

A: I was going to bring some Michigan backstraps (cuts of venison meat), but we traveled light. (Laughs) God, did we travel light — I lost 20 pounds just taking the (stuff) off my belt.

But we had some of my favorite things outside of wild game: a lobster salad, delicious lamb chops — I made sure to emphasize to everyone, “the cuter the critter, the sweeter the meat.” And they were done exquisitely, with some asparagus and taters on the side with good sauce. He was bragging about their chefs, and rightly so. He’s very proud of them. I got to meet all the staff and had a great time with everybody.

The spirit could not have been more buoyant. It was fun, silliness. And we talked about serious things, like Russia and North Korea. We covered the bases.

We didn’t know what to expect. I figured we’d get an hour, maybe two hours with the president. We were there for over four hours. It was awesome.

Q: Whose idea was it to pose in front of the Hillary Clinton portrait?

A: That was my wife, Shemane. She said, “You guys have to stop here. I’ve got to get a picture of this.” Ever the thoughtful wife, yeah. And I guess that it’s made its rounds.

That’s another thing about it. Getting to that s---kicker term — nobody said, “You can’t do this and you can’t talk about that, you can’t go here and you can’t touch that.” It was a cursed free-for-all. The president had faith that we knew how to conduct ourselves, regardless of what someone might have printed in Creem magazine about the Motor City Madman.

Q: We both know how divided the country is now. Events like last night go viral, and you’re going to get as much criticism as you do support. How much does any of that bother you at this point?

A: On a personal level, I get nothing but sheer laughter out of it, no matter what they say about me — the litany of draft-dodger, child molester, racist, homophobe, sexist. I mean, it’s all so false. But instead of getting angry, as a rock ‘n’ roll guy, all those labels are kind of … fun. (Laughs) As inaccurate and dishonest as they are.

But it hurts me on a human and an American level that such dishonesty and hatred exists. That my life has been threatened for 40 years because I eat deer? This is worth killing my family for? These (people) have stated they mean it. ...

You know, I hate to quote Rodney King, but I’ve got buddies that are vegans and would rather not own guns, and guess what we do? They have a beer and I have a Vernors, and we make music and laugh and tease and have a good time. Not a negative vibe to be found.

Q: You and Kid Rock will inevitably get heat along the lines of: Why are these guys giving the time of day to someone who's been portrayed as a racist, problematic president?

A: That’s what I’m talking about. He’s not a racist. I’m not a racist. Sarah Palin’s not a racist. Kid Rock’s not a racist. If you’re going to criticize me, you’ve got to be honest. Come up with something that’s true. ...

So when they level those kinds of accusations, I tell you: I’ve known Sarah Palin a long time. I know Bob. I know President Trump. It rolls off our back, but we are hurt that such dishonesty exists. If you want to have a debate, we’ve got to be honest.

Q: Did you come away from Wednesday with the idea that Trump could have some role for you going forward?

A: Being clean and sober for 68.6 years allows you to come away with a flurry of considerations under any circumstance. The mind never stops. I read the atmosphere and the environment, the words and the body language, the gestures. I read everything. So like I say to everybody, nothing is impossible. I never say "never" about anything. I have no expectations, no desires or anticipations. I’m here if you need me.

I’m game for pretty much anything, because I’m ridiculously energized at the age of 68. I’ve got to mention, I’m a pretty high-energy guy. I don’t know if you’ve noticed this? You could probably cook marshmallows in the flames coming out of the bone. But I’ve met my match: this guy. I know what’s going on with Russia and the border and the IRS and the North Koreans and all the meetings and responsibilities of president. This guy is on fire. Not over-demonstrative. But just bubbly. He’s buoyant. The guy is attentive. He misses nothing. He is quick to interject but equally quick to respect other people’s stream of consciousness. He poses a question and steps back and listens.

And that was the modus operandi throughout the day with everybody. Good bunch of polite, caring, tuned-in, respectful, engaged people.

Most important thing of all? The food was served hot. I hate when they bring the main course and it’s not hot.

Yup heard about it so did the View, the comments they made are priceless. article and link follows.

‘The View’ meltdown: Host likens Palin, Nugent and Kid Rock at White House to War of 1812

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/apr/21/joy-behar-meltdown-the-view-host-likens-palin-nuge/

The ladies of “The View” told a studio audience on Friday that a visit to the White House by “Uncle Ted” Nugent was comparable to the devastation when the British burned it down during the War of 1812.

Joy Behar and co-host Sunny Hostin were so disgusted by the White House tour provided on Thursday to former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, Kid Rock, and Mr. Nugent that they likened it to the August 1814 attack on the capital.

“Is this the saddest day in in the history of the White House since the British burned it to the ground in 1814?” Ms. Behar asked her co-hosts.

[RDKLL]

The snowflakes were having a fit...but it is ok to burn trump in effigy or to act out an assignation...or to depict his severed head but gets their pantis in a knot

[John Schmidt]

Re. The View, when I enter the room my wife asks if I want it shut off. I tell no, with all those old hens cackling away there will be plenty of eggs laid for the audience. When they get started it actually reminds me of a hen house, all talking at once it seems. They're all on transmit but nobody is on receive. Joy Behar, that old bag is one of the worst, Whoopie is right up there with her. If I could buy them for what they're really worth and sell them for what they think they're worth, I'd be a rich man. 

[The emperor has no clothes]

These are Ted Nugents own words about avoiding the draft. I understand many like him because of the things he said about Obama, but he is not somebody I look up to or would have invited to our Whitehouse.


Interviewer: How did you get out of the draft?

Ted Nugent: Ted was a young boy, appearing to be a hippie but quite opposite in fact, working hard and playing hard, playing rock and roll like a deviant. People would question my sanity, I played so much. So I got my notice to be in the draft. Do you think I was gonna lay down my guitar and go play army? Give me a break! I was busy doin’ it to it. I had a career Jack. If I was walkin’ around, hippying down, getting’ loaded and pickin’ my ass like your common curs, I’d say “Hey yeah, go in the army. Beats the poop out of scuffin’ around in the gutters.” But I wasn’t a gutter dog. I was a hard workin’, mother****in’ rock and roll musician.

I got my physical notice 30 days prior to. Well, on that day I ceased cleansing my body. No more brushing my teeth, no more washing my hair, no baths, no soap, no water. Thirty days of debris build. I stopped shavin’ and I was 18, had a little scraggly beard, really looked like a hippie. I had long hair, and it started gettin’ kinky, matted up. Then two weeks before, I stopped eating any food with nutritional value. I just had chips, Pepsi, beer-stuff I never touched-buttered poop, little jars of Polish sausages, and I’d drink the syrup, I was this side of death, Then a week before, I stopped going to the bathroom. I did it in my pants. poop, piss the whole shot. My pants got crusted up.

See, I approached the whole thing like, Ted Nugent, cool hard-workin’ dude, is gonna wreak havoc on these imbeciles in the armed forces. I’m gonna play their own game, and I’m gonna destroy ’em. Now my whole body is crusted in poop and piss. I was ill. And three or four days before, I started stayin’ awake. I was close to death, but I was in control. I was extremely antidrug as I’ve always been, but I snorted some crystal methedrine. Talk about one wounded motherf*cker. A guy put up four lines, and it was for all four of us, but I didn’t know and I’m vacuuming that poop right up. I was a walking, talking hunk of human poop. I was six-foot-three of sin. So the guys took me down to the physical, and my nerves, my emotions were distraught. I was not a good person. I was wounded. But as painful and nauseous as it was — ’cause I was really into bein’ clean and on the ball — I made gutter swine hippies look like football players. I was deviano.

So I went in, and those guys in uniform couldn’t believe the smell. They were ridiculin’ me and pushin’ me around and I was cryin’, but all the time I was laughin’ to myself. When they stuck the needle in my arm for the blood test I passed out, and when I came to they were kicking me into the wall. Then they made everybody take off their pants, and I did, and this sergeant says, “Oh my God, put those back on! You f*cking swine you!” Then they had a urine test and I couldn’t piss, But my poop was just like ooze, man, so I poop in the cup and put it on the counter. I had poop on my hand and my arm. The guy almost puked. I was so proud. I knew I had these chumps beat. The last thing I remember was wakin’ up in the ear test booth and they were sweepin’ up. So I went home and cleaned up.

They took a putty knife to me. I got the street rats out of my hair, ate some good steaks, beans, potatoes, cottage cheese, milk. A couple of days and I was ready to kick ass. And in the mail I got this big juicy 4-F. They’d call dead people before they’d call my ass. But you know the funny thing about it? I’d make an incredible army man. I’d be a colonel before you knew what hit you, and I’d have the baddest bunch of motherf*ckin’ killers you’d ever seen in my platoon. But I just wasn’t into it. I was too busy doin’ my own thing, you know?

But, to each their own.  

[Jess from VA]

Why is that painting up? 

A daily reminder of how bad things could be?

Where are the darts?   

[Skinhead]

Meathead,

Ted may have shirked his duty during 'Nam as did many others, and while I hold veterans in the highest regard, the Nuge showed his patriotism by helping defeat Hillary.  He has as much right as Beyonce and Konyae to visit the WH.  Although I don't care for any of their music.

I think he made it pretty clear that he shirked his duty. But like I say "To each their own". Showing ones patriotism would be to serve your country when asked, not crap your pants and act like a retard, and think it's funny. But if you view it differently so be it.
I've avoided political discussions as best I can lately and I should have let this one slide also. But this guy is a first class douche bag. I bow out and let you guys put him on a pedestal .

[GiG]

...  Although I don't care for any of their music.

You probably listen to, like, the eagles, man  

[cookiedough]

I am not a huge fan of Nugent or Palin, but is surely better than Obama or the hildabeast. 

Trump still remains up in the air.  He needs to stop playing so much golf and do his job.

try on you tube or at "Themoneymasters.com"---#TRUMPTHEESTABLISHMENT

[Skinhead]

...  Although I don't care for any of their music.

Can you change the station?  I can't stand the Eagles, man.

[Skinhead]

I am not a huge fan of Nugent or Palin, but is surely better than Obama or the hildabeast. 

Trump still remains up in the air.  He needs to stop playing so much golf and do his job. 

What Trump needs to do is keep his mouth shut, h he repeats himself and sounds like an idiot.   Barry was a good public speaker, but a liar and an a hole.   

I don't hold Ted on a pedestal, but I think his support of the first and second amendments demonstrate his patriotism.  I don't fault those that avoided the draft were exercising their rights to not fight a war they disagreed with our were just plain cowards.  Again that is on them, if he committed a crime, prosecute him.

[MarkT]

...  Although I don't care for any of their music.

Can you change the station?  I can't stand the Eagles, man.

Get outta my taxi.

(Tha's a quote, man.  Had to remove the Eagles from my riding playlists.)

What Trump needs to do is keep his mouth shut, h he repeats himself and sounds like an idiot.

Did you notice his son does the exact same thing.  Forget his name...  Trump needs coaching / intense lessons on speaking w/o sounding stupid.  I don't think barry is a good speaker at all.  Says "uh" and other brain stalls constantly. And sounds like a high school level moron, name calling and other stupid tactics.  Not presidential at all.  When I compare our current top level public figures to those in the past, I'm embarrassed at how low we've sunk as a people to elect these morons.

[Fazer]

Best quote I've heard for a while, that I think has been credited to Ted Nugent, is "Donald Trump is political chemotherapy."  Not a big fan of Nug--he's a bit to much over the top for my taste, but I sure like this quote.

[Alpha Dog]

But I have always admired them for their patriotism and common sense.  Last night they and Sarah Palin had dinner at the WH with the POTUS, They supported him during his campaign, and continue to do so.  The picture in front of Hilary's official portrait is the icing on the cake!  BTW, Has anyone one heard from her lately?  No?   Kinda nice ain't it?

And that was the modus operandi throughout the day with everybody. Good bunch of polite, caring, tuned-in, respectful, engaged people.

Most important thing of all? The food was served hot. I hate when they bring the main course and it’s not hot.

I spent about 13 hours on the road in Indiana and Ohio Friday.  It was late in the 0000 hour coming back from Marysville, OH.  As usual I  had the local talk radio 95.7 on.  At this time they play  Dana Loesch's program The Dana Show.  I had not heard about the meeting all day and then she talks about it and has an interview with Ted.  They are big friends both being huge 2nd amendment folks and visit each other.  I listened intently as Ted can spin some pretty good lines.  Lately he has toned down quite a bit.   Anyway he reiterated much of what was in the interview above.  If anyone wants to listen it is about 15 minutes and can be picked up exactly at 55:45 minute wise.

I will add this.  I have heard a lot of folks that have been with Trump for the first time in these now almost 2 years, but especially since Nov. 8.  They almost to a person say of Trump what Ted did in the interview.  He is extremely engaging and sincerely cares about what they have to say and tries to learn from them.  He will throw out the question and sit back and listen and not hog the time saying it has to be this way.  They come away very surprised and with a new found respect for him.  For those that have known him a long time, it seems he has always been this way.  It is one of the secrets to his success.  And it seems world leaders that visit with him are saying the same.

I get a kick out of the but hurt snowflakes who are freaking out over a simple photo. But all was ok when the last so called president had the alphabet people to the White House and they tweeted out photos of them flipping off Reagans mural. At least these three had enough class to not do anything wrong in front of hildabeasts painting. It's time for the alt left to suck it up buttercup and get back to work.

I wonder if the Kid was smoking pot in the bathroom like O'bummers buddy snoop.

I'd rather see them in there instead of the folks Obama kept having over.

As Jess asked, WHY is the picture of the Hilda Beast there? Did some ninth district judge rule it had to stay there?

Because even though western civilization dodged a bullet by making sure we'd never have a Hillary presidential portrait, she was at one point First Lady, and thus her FLOTUS portrait hands in the White House, along with many (All?) of the other previous FLOTUS.

I am not a huge fan of Nugent or Palin, but is surely better than Obama or the hildabeast. 

Trump still remains up in the air.  He needs to stop playing so much golf and do his job. 

Seems like I remember barry playing a round or two of golf in his time in the WH.   Did you complain about that ?

I have a client in the Secret Service, maybe he could get us a tour and a private meeting with The Donald.

[Jess from VA]

All kidding aside, if you ever do want a WH tour, if you go through one of your elected representatives (whether you voted for him or not) for a scheduled tour he can get you, it will be much better than the one the public gets by lining up each morning.

I spent 18 years working one block from the WH, just a stone's throw away. 

But don't throw stones, man they have no sense of humor about that at all.

Waynesboro, VA, you are better than that chick washboard player, anyhow.

I was going to stay away from this, but.
I was not a fan of Ted or his music. Years ago he was using Oneida Eagle bows so he would come here to have them worked on or get more and meet with Peter. I got to meet him through Pete. Pete owned Oneida Labs and we grew up together. I thought the early compounds were junk and my recurves shot better and were faster. I was given a couple of these bows and got used to using them and still use them today. Anyway, I met Ted and ended up flying him around for a few years. He is a good guy.




Plus, I'm not concerned about the music someone likes or not. Its the person and how they conduct themselves that is important to me.

Kid Rock is certainly not big in urban communities.  Saw him a few years back at Jones Beach (about 20 miles east of NYC).  He opened for Carlos Santana that night.  During one song, he played every instrument.  He went from one to another during the course of the song.  He was exhausted when the song ended and I thought he did a great job and I was very impressed.  The crowd, that only made up half the house so far (opening band), paid no attention.  They couldn't care less.

Don't know how to break it to ya, Bronx boy, but Jones Beach is not an urban community. 
Most people there were probably to see Santana.
Jones  Beach is not the right venue for the Kid. He DOES put on a hell of a show. Quite the showman!
Seeing him outdoors at the Buffalo Chip in Sturgis was fun, but nothing like a show at a Detroit venue.

I really wasn't a fan of the kid's early stuff, but my musical tastes are varied and definitely not mainstream.  Over the years, while not much fonder of his music, I have been impressed with his civic involvement and charitable work.  He seems like a pretty regular dude, Dude.

Kid Rock's first hit Bawitdaba will always be an instant classic for those of us that grew up in the 90's

I saw the Kid a few years back at Riverbend ( on Ohio River, far east side of Cincinnati ).   He put on a heck of a show and impressed me.  But he does thrive in Michigan venues.  I love his tremendous patriotic enthusiasm for Michigan.  Anyone that likes to catch Walleye from the dock is OK by me.

I saw Ten Nugent and Bob Seger playing at Wyandotte (MI) summer street fairs.  Also saw Seger at an Aquinus High School sock hop in Southgate.
