Why can't he have Ted Nugent perform in his inauguration

[question everything]

I thought he loves Republicans.

And... no offense for lovers of country music here but... don't they tend to be R?

[unblock]

1. I think most artists just don't want to be seen as partisan

And alienate half their audience

[potone]

2. That is probably true as a general rule...

but I don't think it is true of Ted Nugent. But really, how many fans does he have that anyone would want to have at an inauguration?

[Siwsan]

3. Somehow I don't think that will be an issue for little Teddy

If people aren't alienated by him, by now, they are swimming in his kool aid.

[Jamastiene]

4. Ain't that the truth?

I remember back in the 80s when he was still popular, they had a video segment of one of his shows on MTV (back when it still had music news). He had a recurve bow, a real one, and a real arrow pointed at the audience. He shot the arrow a little above their heads, but still, I wouldn't want to go see someone who would even joke about shooting me.

Later, his extremist far right politics came to light and it all made more sense. I cannot imagine anyone still liking him now.

5. That may be true of artists

but we're talking about Nugent.

6. Ted Nugent hasn't been very visible lately

In the past he's been everywhere talking shit. I wonder if the Motor City Madman has dementia. Or maybe he has creutzfeldt-jakob disease from eating a deer with chronic wasting disease. Whatever reason, it's nice not seeing his crazy asshole.

7. That's the problem with america!

Not enough Nazi rock bands or White supremacist crooners!

[Generator]

10. This is what passes for humor at the end of the American empire circa 2016

Yeah you made me laugh.

[Initech]

9. Oh, I do contend that Wang Dang Sweet Poontang would be a perfect inauguration song!

I mean it's just locker room talk!

11. Trump is going to walk out to greet the guests to Cat Scratch Fever? Nugent needs to stick to gunz,

promoting guns to white winger as an NRA Board Member, and waving/wearing confederate flags as a representative of the gun culture. Surprised Trump hasn't begged him to come, despite Nugent's music.
