Summary: he's a hypocrite
Comment: Ok, i haven't read this book, but apparently it includes stuff on how you should spend time w/ your family. For Ted Nugent, does that include the illegitimate child he admitted fathering w/ a Dover, N.H. woman eight years ago? (he has been married for 15 years). According to the Fox news site (that's right, Fox), he has only expressed interest in custody & visitation because the woman wants financial support. Just another hypocritical conservative...

Summary: Shut up and play your guitar, you idiot!
Comment: Ted is a combination of Russ Limbaugh
and Howard Stern with a (prop) guitar.
It's really too bad that Ted turned out
this way. He could have been somebody.
He could have been a decent guitarist.
But, alas, that was not to be. At one
time, his oldest fans may recall, he
wrote musical and inspiring tunes. I
think his best was "Scottish Tea." Of
course, just good musicianship from the
Midwest won't get you too far -- Ted got
more attention by being bizarre! Well,
if it takes being like those other
a**holes on TV and radio to get some
attention, then apparently, Ted will do
it.
In this so-called book (at one time a
person had to have something to say to
actually have a book published), we get
a glimmer of Ted's mental processes.
First, let's look at what Ted has to
say about Black people who were let out
of jail: "... the vicious predator
mentality of the paroled masses on the
planet of the apes? Not I, sayeth the
guitarboy." How Nuge gets away with
calling Black people "apes" is beyond
me. Perhaps the NAACP has enough to
worry about without taking on a mental
case.
Ted also has the chutzpah to rank
himself with "Jimi Hendrix, Keith Moon,
Mike Bloomfield, Brian Jones, Phil Lycott,
Dennis Wilson, Bon Scott, John Belushi,
Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jerry Garcia,
and a stupefying long list of the hippest
idiots that ever lived.." And implies
that he is even better since he is still
alive! Ted, I think Jimi could play guitar
better than you with both hands tied
behind his back. Jimi will be remembered
as being a gentle soul who cared about
music and people long after your vicious
sonic tirade has passed on.

Summary: Prepare Yourself for Full Bluntal Nugeity
Comment: This book is F-U-N, folks. It's divided into three sections titled Cocked, Locked, and Ready to Rock (politics); The Ballistics of Spirituality -- You Can't Grill it 'Til You Kill It (hunting); and Kids, Family, and the Spirit of the Wild (family). Ted Nugent's opinions are pedal-to-the-metal, full-steam-ahead. I don't think he knows where the brake is, or what it's for. And though he can indeed spell "tact", I'm not sure he really understands the concept. (That was a compliment, by the way.) Here are some of the gems from God, Guns, & Rock 'n' Roll:
Ted Nugent on anti-gunners: "Only a coward would want fewer good guys with guns on the streets in today's world. Only a fool would support -- much less design -- such a policy of helplessness....To be against law-abiding citizens carrying concealed handguns is literally encouraging and assisting evil to have the upper hand."
Ted Nugent on the liberal media and their attitude toward guns: "I've known it forever, and Jesse Ventura figured it out pretty quick. The vast majority of America's free press doesn't report the news, they make it up. Anyone who dismisses the claims of a conspiracy is either a paid employee of the media or a deaf, dumb, and blind fool. Especially dumb."
Ted Nugent on the "coolness" of doing drugs: "Hey, I got a good idea, let's go to a jam session celebrating the spirited and creative overjuiceflow of Jimi Hendrix, Keith Moon, Mike Bloomfield, Brian Jones, Phil Lycott, Dennis Wilson, Bon Scott, John Belushi, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jerry Garcia, and a stupefying long list of the hippest idiots that ever lived. And died. Would if we could, but Jimi got high and Jimi's dead, I went huntin' and I'm still Ted....The one time Jimi saw my gun, he thought I was way out there. Now they ain't got no life nowhere. 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky." Is it just me, or would some of that make great song lyrics?
Ted Nugent on gun banning as crime control: "If guns cause crime, all of mine are defective. And if handguns are made only for killing people as the actions of Sarah Brady and her lying scum friends like Diane Feinstein and Charlie Schumer would suggest, swimming pools are made only for drowning, and ladders only for falling off of."
Ted Nugent on concealed carry: "To my mind, it is wholly irresponsible to go into the world incapable of preventing violence, injury, crime, and death. How feeble is the mindset to accept defenselessness. How unnatural. How cheap. How cowardly. How pathetic....What kind of spineless dolt would dare venture forth virtually incapable of wiping his or her nose or surviving the vicious predator mentality of the paroled masses on the planet of the apes? Not I, sayeth the guitarboy."
I don't want all of the foregoing to give you the impression Ted Nugent's only skills as a writer are being outrageous and insulting anti-gunners (although he's very good at both). In his hunting stories he has a positive gift for evoking mood and place. Congressman Bob Barr of Georgia has written, "As I read God, Guns, & Rock 'n' Roll, I could hear the fall leaves crunch under Ted's boots and wince at his many falls into the Michigan mud." His tales of family are full of honest love and unabashed sentimentality. Ted Nugent is foursquare for love of family, love of America, love of guns, and he doesn't care who knows it.
