Just wondered what other folks think about Ted and his Spirit of the Wild show if you've ever seen it.

Thanks for moving this to the correct forum for me Phil!

I've never seen the show but I like what Ted says. I just wish he would temper it with some maturity and forget the F-bombs.

i love it, and i feel his F-bombs are justifiably placed...

The show is informative enough, and the ammo he puts out for hunting is top notch.

Have not seen this show, but have seen a few of his others.

As far as his 2nd Amendment passions, I agree with his message, I disagree at times in how he presents it. On one hand he can be mature, sane, informative, and persuasive. On the other he can be immature, crazy, outlandish, and objectionable.

He also has a bit of past history that is questionable by myself and many others of my generation (I'm from SE Michigan and know the whole Nugent history).

He's an entertainer, and he does a lot of good things, so I will give him credit for that. But sometimes it's difficult to balance the good with the wrong. However, I strive to separate the man from the message.

Wait....I thought Ted was either dying or moving after the election?

Guess he gets a 'do over', eh??

I saw Ted play his "Great White Buffalo" tour in 1975. Does that count?

I was there too, my hearing hasn't been the same since!

I like the show, he's well spoken and seems passionate about our cause.
And it is OUR cause, we don't need the Dick Metcalfs and Jim Zumbos spouting doublespeak for the Brady Campaign to use against us.

I forgive him for being over the top sometimes, he stays on topic.

Since you're southern Indiana it may well have been the same concert. Opened in Cincinnati for Santana and Skynyrd?

^^^^

Nope - Roberts stadium in Evansville.

I woulda' been easy to spot, skinny teenager with long hair and a hand rolled cigarette hangin' off my lip. Wait a minute.... that was everybody at a Ted Nugent concert in '75!

GF

I've watched it. Ted is entertaining and knows his stuff about firearms. Kind of a typical outdoor show though.....

Like Ted, like his show. Like has been stated, he is sometimes way over the top on getting his message out but in my opinion it is a reflection of his passion for what he does. His charity, especially for kids, is more than any Hollywierd movie type can even dream of doing.

As far as his past, good or bad, there is a ton of flat out made up lies. The liberal establishment has a giant hatred for Uncle Ted, thus the meaning behind his comment about "being dead or in jail" if BHO won the election. They have already tried twice to make the "in jail" part happen.

Was the fact ( out of his own mouth) that he avoided going to Vietnam by peeing and pooping in his pants "made up"? Yeah, maybe TED lied.

Was the fact that he went after little girls ( married a 16 year old, and 13 year old's he loved) made up? That sure is "charity for kids" huh? Maybe the marriage certificate was fake.

Was the FACT that he slaughters animals and calls it a "Hunt" made up?

Don't get m going on this spineless loser scumbag. Any of you with young daughters who think so highly of him... let them spend a weekend.

This LOSER is no spokesman for law abiding gun owners. Or anyone with morals for that matter..,,

Over 56 THOUSAND Dead in Vietnam, while loud mouth, self acclaimed Bad a** loser sat home in comfort?
He is about as popular as Jane Fonda in my circles.

I am decidedly NOT a fan of the 'motor-city madman', his show(s), or any of his other self-promoting nonsense. The term 'has been' comes to mind.

But then, what do I know?

Thanks for all the replies. For me I just don't know what to think of him most of the time. As far as the show itself goes - to me it just seems.....sloppy I guess. It doesn't fit with the other shows before and after it and comes off to me as some sort of public access channel thing a couple dudes made with some portable camcorders. He comes across as being incredibly full of himself too which rubs me the wrong way. The show doesn't "fit" with the rest of the programming to me.

That's about as nicely as you could have described him.

He's certainly full of something...

Seriously, I'm a lifelong gun owner, I have a CCW license and carry any time I step out of my apartment, and I hunted until I became physically unable to do it anymore. I don't think Nugent represents me or most gun owners worth a damn in the eyes of the non-gun-owning public, with his posturing, off-the-wall rants and obscenities.

Sorry.

Don't get me wrong-I agree with most everything he says but he's still a wanker.

'Anchors away' CD. I saw too many burials at sea in 'Nam, to give that scumbag a pass. Funny how many draft dodging rich guys are at the top rung of the NRA these days.

So he's a rock n roller. So what? He's lived the lifestyle, that includes lots of sex with women he didn't know. He didn't want their I.D. If the little cuties are at a concert trying to "meet" the band, that's their parent's fault. By the way, musicians of all walks have been that way for a long time. He's loud and obnoxious. He also cares about our issue, and doesn't care how he rubs his enemies. I don't have a problem with that.

It IS English, as in British. Refers to someone given to, shall we say, playing solitaire until he needs glasses...

And I agree with Caj's assessment.

About the only redeeming qualities I can find about him is that he is pro-2nd ammendment & hunting. Beyond that I think he's an obnoxious, 64 year old adolescent.

I do give him credit for standing up to Piers Morgan several month ago in the CNN interview......but I don't watch his hunting show and wouldn't walk across the street to see him.

Which makes you madder, draft dodgers or rich guys? And according to you, the NRA is eat up with both. Interesting.

Wrong guy, delivering the right message (most of the time), in the wrong manner place and time..... The day he stood on the steps of the Michigan State Capital, and announced he was "The Rosa Parks of dove hunting", he lost me....

I don't know, I never watched it.

I wish Lt.Col. North had a show, i got to see some of the live performances.
Thank heaven for the delete button.

Just when we need articulate and intelligent spokesmen for the gun rights cause along comes Ted. I've watched him several times and suspect he's "medicating" at the times he goes off on one of his rants. When he isn't indulging he can come across as more reasonable. I can imagine someone who knows nothing about guns watching one of Ted's rants and asking "is he typical of gun owners"? That would concern me.

He's a COWARD. He had his chance to prove his self proclaimed "manliness" but decided to go pee pee and poo poo in his wittle pants and stay in America, while OTHERS fought and died in Vietnam....
to protect HIS right to molest little girls and shoot his loud, foul mouth off.

Love the man and his message. One of our staunchest
supporters. He never got into drugs, as so many
Rockers did. So he's alright in my book.
Sure he's outspoken but so what. So is Oprah.
Just like any TV show. You don't like it change the channel.

You are right! Ted allegedly did not get into drugs, but, he did get into underage little girls. Out!

Entertainers and underage girls? Say it ain't so!

"Sweet Little Sixteen" Sung by Chuck Berry when he was 37.

"Go Away Little Girl (Before I beg you to stay)" written by Carole King when she was 20 and sung by Steve Lawrence (of Steve and Eydie) when he was 30.

"Good Mornin' Little School Girl" Recorded by Sonny Boy Williamson when he was 24, and a host of others.

THANK YOU CD....my thought s exactly. he's a draft dodger that should have his past brought up every time he opens his mouth.
