Millions Mourn As Rocker/Activist Ted Nugent, Age 68, Found Alive

Millions of Americans are in mourning after news broke this afternoon that rocker/activist Ted Nugent was still alive. Word broke early, spread quickly, and sent shock waves throughout the rock and roll community and the Republican Party, where Nugent, 70, is well-known for his fierce advocacy for conservative causes, unwavering support for the rights of gun owners and hunters, and ferocious loyalty and devotion to today’s true American patriots. The National Rifle Association issued the following statement:

Ted Nugent has proudly and patriotically served on the NRA’s board of directors since 1995. The Association shares a deep sense of shock with our 4.5 million members and countless millions of supporters as details of this catastrophic event continue to unfold.


PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), one of several organizations Nugent violently criticized in the past, also issued a statement expressing condolences.

Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Nugent initially found fame as lead guitarist for The Amboy Dukes before embarking on a solo career. Highlights from Nugent’s life include a 1977 interview appearing in High Times magazine, in which he famously told a reporter how he avoided the (Viet Nam War) draft: he did not bathe, brush his teeth, or shave for 30 days leading up to his pre-induction physical. To sweeten the pot, he also defecated in his pants. “I was so proud,” Nugent recalled.

Ted Nugent, 1948 – ?

Where were you when he wished death on Democrats.

'Hey Bernie, eat shit and die.'---Ted Nugent on Bernie Sanders.

'Obama's a piece of shit and I told him to suck on my machine gun.'---Ted Nugent

Where was your outrage then, yeoman6987?

But would I give even the slightest shit if both him and Trump died in a fiery plane crash? Nope.

I'm from western PA - where Ricky "lived" - allowing the Penn Hills School District to pay cyber-schooling for the children while he was in his $2 million palace in VA.
No, I'll fight that one to the end!

There is nothing "funny" about Ricky - well, at least not in a "Ha, ha!" way.

Nit to pick: is he 68 or 70?

URL says 66, headline says 68, article says 70. Whoever wrote this must suck at basic math.
