It appears Ted Nugent's violent rhetoric at the NRA convention over the weekend may not be the only problem facing the Romney campaign with their acceptance of his endorsement. Jason Easley at Politicus USA reports that Nugent apparently had a penchant for messing around with underage teenage girls.

(6,670 posts)The whole world was different then, the rules were different then, the story is really scraping the bottom of the barrel when there's so much better to criticize him for. Anyone want to throw him in the same pot with Phil Lesh, who had the same problem?
And what about all the girls who ran away from home in the sixties and seventies in order to have sex with whoever they wanted, whenever they wanted? Were they all used because they liked guys older than 14-16? Does ANY 14-year-old woman seriously interested in sex want a 14-year-old guy? Has the world changed THAT MUCH?
Sorry, as much as I hate Terrible Teddy and his phallicism, my response to THAT post is to dig out this song (which, by the way, Ted didn't like or approve of the sentiments of...)

Many DUers, myself included, lived thru the 70s and never abused women... Let alone underage girls.
That's Nugent's problem. He has always felt entitled... As a 70s rock star and now as a Fox News talking head.. To say or do anything that pops into his head. He has never had to answer for any of his crimes.
Do not try to portray his sociopathy as"normal".

(9,980 posts)Yes, the early 70's were a different time....... And Ted is not alone among musicans of that era in liking "sweet young things".
Thing of it is - He liked 'em real young, and did'nt seem to care who knew, including his own kids. He's always, IMHO, been more showman than musican, and far better with an ensemble than as a solo - but that all came along well behind the braggart asshole self-promotion thing. Any growth - as an artist or human - had pretty well died out by the late 70's. As a thread here backalong stated "Ted Nugent is the biggest asshole in rock - also the 2nd biggest, and the third."
Ted back in the day, with Derek St. Holmes on vocals -
A few years later, when the ego had taken over completely -

(95,337 posts)I mean honestly, back then it wasn't uncommon for rock stars to fool around with underage girls (mostly teenagers that threw themselves at the stars). But Nugent went sleazier than most of them by adopting his child dalliance so technically he was fucking his adopted daughter at one point.
