Ted Nugent performed inside Florida anti-mask supermarket

Ted Nugent performed inside Florida anti-mask supermarket days before saying he has COVID-19

Ted Nugent said he thought he was dying from COVID-19 just days after he performed inside a Florida supermarket that’s become well-known for its anti-mask stance. Video of his performance can be seen on Nugent’s YouTube page.

The 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 he’d 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. I’ve 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.”

Nugent even wondered why we didn’t shut down for COVIDs one through 18?

But, that doesn't make it good.
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.

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.

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:

A controversial Collier County business owner, returning from Wednesday's riot in Washington, D.C., said protesters were "supporting liberty and freedom" and blamed left-wing activists for the siege on the U.S. Capitol.

"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 County’s 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.

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.

His business, Seed to Table, made national headlines after videos went viral of customers and employees in his store, hardly a mask in sight.

Oakes previously called COVID-19 a hoax and said he would never require his employees or customers to wear masks.

“We’ve 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.

My sources tell me that the Margie the Kook campaign is in very sensitive talks with Mr. Nugget to appear at her next rally at our local recycling site.

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!
