Title: Rocker's inaugural act creates stir: Ted Nugent Post by: WhiteRose on January 18, 2007, 10:13:20 PM Thought some of you might be interested in the never ending exploits of one Mr. Ted Nugent.
Cheers, W.R. Rocker's inaugural act creates stir 01/18/2007 4:18 PM, AP Hours after Gov. Rick Perry kicked off his second full term in office, Ted Nugent helped him celebrate at a black-tie gala, but not all attendees were pleased by the rocker's performance. Using machine guns as props, Nugent, 58, appeared onstage as the final act of the inaugural ball wearing a cutoff T-shirt emblazoned with the Confederate flag and shouting offensive remarks about non-English speakers, according to people who were in attendance. Perry's spokesman, Robert Black, downplayed the Tuesday-night incident. "Ted Nugent is a good friend of the governor's. He asked him if he would play at the inaugural. He didn't put any stipulation of what he would play," Black said. Others said the appearance was inappropriate. "I think it was a horrible choice," GOP strategist Royal Masset said. "I hope nobody approved it." Nugent, a hunting and gun-rights advocate, couldn't be reached for comment Thursday because he was hunting, a spokeswoman said. News of Nugent's appearance drew criticisms from civil-rights leaders. "Whenever someone sports the Confederate battle flag, many Texans will be offended, and rightly so, because of what it symbolizes ? the enslavement of African-Americans and more recently the symbol of hate groups and terrorists," said Gary Bledsoe, president of the Texas chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/12438482 ___ Title: Re: Rocker's inaugural act creates stir: Ted Nugent Post by: zman on January 19, 2007, 01:53:04 PM You got to love Uncle Ted :)
