Ted Nugent performed inside Florida anti-mask supermarket days before saying he has COVID-19The Michigan rocker, who has a condo in Naples, according to NaplesNews, played a concert at Oakes Farms Seed to Table Market in that city on April 12. A video taken inside that crowded supermarket went viral on Twitter earlier this year, showing pretty much no one wearing a mask, including employees.
Nugent went on Facebook Live on April 19 to tell his fans hed tested positive for coronavirus that day after battling flu-like symptoms for nearly two weeks. His self-described timeline would mean he had these symptoms while performing at the supermarket, where he was shown not wearing a mask.
I have had flu symptoms for the last 10 days and I thought I was dying, Nugent said in his live video. I was tested positive today. Ive got a stuffed up head, body aches. My God, what a pain in the a--. I literally could hardly crawl out of bed the last few days. But I did. I crawled.

Something he calls music!

He's a one riff hack. The day he finds himself out of pentatonic box 1 will be the first day that happened.
I've had guitar students who were too good to bother learning a Nugent solo.
He's never even been the best guitar player in his own bands. Unless he was the only guitarist.

(7,947 posts)He was terrible. But he sure got the pre-Maga crowd going. He told them to chant, "They can't get this in France!" (This was that "freedom fries" era.)
It was never clear what "this" is they can't get in France, ribs, I guess.
He seemed to think that France lacked in good food.
Absolutely capsulized the solipsism of this "movement" (BOWEL movement)-- that no matter what, whatever they think is "theirs" is better than anything else in the world. This is how they chose the execrable Trump as their "greatest ever". They have ... no discernment at all.

I'm sorry he's sick, and I hope he makes it through ok. But he was just asking to get infected.

(47,555 posts)I've been following Alfie Oakes in the news for awhile now and this guy is an arrogant ass. He even went to DC on January 6th and wrote about what an amazing experience it was:
"The trip was amazing," Alfie Oakes stated in an email Thursday. "I have never been surrounded by so many great Americans."
Oakes, owner of Seed to Table, is an outspoken supporter of President Trump. He has fought Collier Countys mask order since July. He has called COVID-19 a hoax and has sued the county, claiming the mandate is illegal.
About 100 protesters from Southwest Florida returned Thursday after a bus trip funded by Oakes to attend a pro-Trump rally on the day Congress was set to start counting certified Electoral College votes that upheld President-elect Joe Biden's victory.

(47,555 posts)believes COVID-19 is a hoax and does not believe in masks, his business was probably already a super spreader business. If Nugent hadn't arrived there infected, he probably would have left with the virus.
Oakes previously called COVID-19 a hoax and said he would never require his employees or customers to wear masks.
Weve been hugging and kissing and doing the things that we are born to do, he said.

Oblivious to the fact that the behavior he encourages could be killing people.
Since he only gets around 3 people to show up at his events now a days, the carnage should be pretty low.

(47,555 posts)employee or customer, at an Oakes Farm business wearing a mask. They don't believe in them or the pandemic. They are very proud to take a stand for liberty. They hold frequent maskless musical events, cuz hey, they aren't a bunch of sheeple!
