Ted Nugent, Hank Williams Jr, and Meatloaf.

[bluesbassman]

Way to lock up the cassette tape vote there Mitt.

[GoneOffShore]

1. New keyboard time!

[sadbear]

2. Where's Wayne Newton, Pat Boone, and the Osmonds?

That the 78 spinner vote there. Yeah, I think the Mittster's locked up that vote, too.

[pstokely]

39. Where's the rest of the Branson circuit?

?

[Scuba]

3. Don't forget bad boy Kid Rock. He and Mitt are a thaaaang, doncha know?

[KansDem]

4. Would that be...

Eight-track cassette tape?

[Comrade Grumpy]

5. What is "The Washed Up Trio," Alex?

[bluesbassman]

21. LOL

[pinboy3niner]

6. "A shit, a git and a twit"

[unblock]

7. i'd always though of the rest of these as losers, but meat loaf has seriously gone down in my book.

bat out of hell is a legendary, epic album, though much of the credit for that really goes to songwriter jim steinman.

[quispquake]

35. And he was in "Fight Club"

Not exactly a right winger's dream...

[ryan_cats]

8. Has anyone here actually heard Nugent speak?

Has anyone here actually heard Nugent speak? On the show where the were making a band out of him and Sebastian Bach among others, Nugent was always trying to sound more intelligent than he is and it is incredibly grating. Using big words and odd alteration, reminds me of Oswald bates from In Living Color.

I've never liked his music but that was really the last straw, besides his kill it and grill it, what a moron. I'd the to see Mr. badass hunting with his bow and arrow and get eaten by a bear. I can dream, can't I?

[LiberalLoner]

11. LOL - I remember the "Oswald Bates" character!

[mnmoderatedem]

17. Heaven help me, yes I have

the guy is dumber than dirt. Once heard him say that Obama is going to turn the country into "a suburb of Indonesia".

You said it best. He tries to come across in his speaking as intellectual.

Epic fail.

[Lucy Goosey]

9. Worst. Supergroup. Ever.

[KharmaTrain]

10. A FB Buddy...

Has this for sale..



Money raised goes to OFA...bidding started at $300...so far it's up to $1,500...

I got a chuckle out of the "fact" that Meatlump's music sales went up "27%" on Itunes overnight...which means 2 more downloads. I hear Paradise By the Dashboard light sounds best while eating Chick Fil A...

[MatthewStLouis]

33. 2 more downloads...Chick Fil A...You're killing me here! :)

I never understood the obsession some people I knew in college had for Meat Loaf...

[bluesbassman]

34. He really put on good shows. Same with Nugent.

I saw both of them live back in the 70's. Great on stage. Crappy in real life.

[Bigleaf]

12. A list of Mitt's endorsements

Hank Williams Jr.
Ted Nugent
Meatloaf
Kid Rock
Lindsay Lohan
Jenna Jameson
Big and Rich (how appropriate is that name?)

Any chance we could see all these fine folks on stage with him at the same time? What a sight that would be. Maybe a jam session, Jenna could do a striptease.

I really don't see how General Colin Powell's endorsement yesterday helps President Obama at all.

[Risen Demon]

15. Lohan would raise money

By whoring herself out to the young Republican frat boys.

I think Jameson isn't really endorsing. She said "When you're rich, you tend to vote republican". I've seen interviews of her and she has a very dry sense of humor.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

38. Don't forget misogynist in make-up Gene Simmons, who, along with Nugent, Kid Rock, John Rich of Big

and Rich, and more starred in Nickleback's Rock Star video. I don't know if it was a good song, but when my RW brother-in-law insisted at Xmas that I watch it on YouTube, I wasn't immediately impressed and became less and less so as the parade of RW "artists" marched by.

So, look for the Nickleback RMoney-Lyin'Ryan endorsement next.

List of those who appeared in the Vid:

Not all RWers, as far as I know, but now I'm suspicious.

[absyntheminded]

13. Whats a three layer..

Shit burrito?

[NightWatcher]

14. he has the support of the .99 bin in the KMart music department

Take back America...to 1980

[Kindly Refrain]

24. I swear. I hadn't even read your post when I posted down thread.

[dawg]

16. I think Ted Nugent is a talented guitarist.

Meatloaf has a great singing voice and Hank Williams Jr. also has a nice warm voice, suitable for country music.

I don't know all that much about Mr. Loaf's political views, but Nugent and Williams Jr. have both said things that are just terrible. They are both either heartless or mentally disturbed. And that really comes as no surprise. The lyrics of the songs they associate themselves with (not sure who wrote what) are sometimes almost as disgusting as the crap they say about the President.

I might have thought "Cat Scratch Fever" was funny when I was a twelve year-old boy, but now I find it misogynist and stupid.(1) And I'm pretty sure if the South would have won, we would not have it made.

I'm not going to stoop to their level by calling these men talentless hacks. All three are pretty good at what they do. They just aren't very good men. (With the possible exception of Mr. Loaf, who might just be a guy who disagrees with me.)




(1) - Full disclosure: I lied. Even when I was 12 I thought that song was stupid. Nice riff though.

[Erose999]

19. HAD a nice warm voice suitable for country music. It was last seen in a whiskey bottle sometime in

the early 1980's.

Hank Jr. gets paid for a 30 minute set you get 25 minutes of music and a 4:59 minute anti-Obama rant. No encore.

[dawg]

23. I remember him being popular in my town in the 1980's.

I've always been out of touch with most other people in the South. I remember thinking, "Who is that creepy looking man on those t-shirts the redneck kids are wearing? And what in the world is a Bocephus?"

I'll have to take your word about the crappy live shows, though. I wouldn't want to go see him.

I've seen Willie Nelson, though!

[Bake]

36. On his BEST day, Nugent is a third-rate guitarist

Seriously. He's a chump with no chops, just that one riff from Cat Scratch Fever.

18. What Is The Worst Concert Bill Ever?

Did I win Alex?

[hrmjustin]

20. The Earth is 6000 years old crowd.

[Kindly Refrain]

22. That's the best mix CD in the $.99 bin at the truck stop.

[drm604]

25. Meatloaf?

He's supporting Romney?

[Grammy23]

26. There was a video floating around DU that was Meatloaf and some more country/western singers

doing a version of America the Beautiful at a Romney rally. It was a disgrace and abomination. I defy anyone to listen to the whole thing without having a severe case of the runs. Awful. And to think I used to actually like Meatloaf.

[drm604]

27. For some reason I never thought of him as someone likely to support Romney.

[bluesbassman]

29. Yeah, I got flashbacks to some bad meatloaf I got in the school cafeteria in 7th grade.

My forehead started sweating, got the shakes, it was awful. Listening to Meatloaf I mean. Actually the cafeteria's meatloaf just gave me the wind.

[countryjake]

31. I guess that you haven't seen this...

Meat Loaf's First Political Endorsement

[Blue Owl]

28. Joe 6-pack and Joe 8-track are votin' GOP!

n/t

[drm604]

30. Cassette tape vote?

There are probably as many, or more, artists who were on cassette tape who support Obama.

[Great Caesars Ghost]

32. Book Blue

For the promoters, theater and club owners, please check where the talent stand politically. If they are at least a lil bit right wing supporters, blacklist them. Conservatives has no place in any artform world!!!!!!!!!

[Bucky]

48. !!

[Blue Idaho]

37. Wow... No one would shed a tear

If that plane went down.

[Bucky]

47. I would do anything for the ticket, but I won't do that.

[pstokely]

40. When will they open a theater in Branson?

?

[tjwash]

41. That's good for Ted

He finally got someone as hip as he is to hang around backstage in Branson while they wait for the tour buses to drop people off.

[MrMickeysMom]

42. HEY! I thought this was the answer to a "Great Carnac" joke...

You know... like,

"What smells like shit in your pants, a shit legacy and piss around the vocal cords?"

[Arugula Latte]

43. Now don't be sad ... Three out of three are bad ...

[nolabear]

45. BWAAAAAA!!!!

[rustydog]

44. Jeopardy question: Name a dick, a dork and an idiot...

[Bucky]

46. Meatloaf's endorsement makes me sad. Kind of.

I never get too upset when I read about some jillionaire turning out to be Republican. If they weren't at least a little bit greedy, they'd've never gone into show biz.
