The Nuge
I happened to catch Ted Nugent on Glenn Beck's show last night. Here in Detroit, you usually hear something every once in a while about The Nuge whether it's a news article or whatever. For me, I guess I've only paid slight attention simply because I'm not that fond of his music. I remember a while back when he owned or ran 102.7 The Bear and he was on the radio all the time. The station format wasn't my gig and I can't say that I ever listened to it. From the people I have talked to though, apparently he talked quite freely about his positions on various matters.
Obviously, The Nuge is quite known for his hunting persona as well as his music. I was not all that aware though of his political and philosophical beliefs. After watching the whole show, I gotta say that I really agree with him on a lot of issues. I still don't like his music, but I think that he has a great perspective on life and I appreciate that he has made use of his celebrity status to actually make a positive impact and give back to society. I really dig his perspective on personal responsibility. You really don't hear very many people these days talking openly about that because it encompasses so many facets of life. Often people seem to have success in one area of life with personal responsibility yet, fail miserably in others and so rather than bring riducule upon themselves, it just isn't mentioned. Unfortunately, when things fail to be mentioned, they tend to be forgotten. Not that I think The Nuge has it all down either. But regardless of anyone's performance, I believe the only person in life you can control ( and just barely) is yourself. It seems though that perspective is not very popular, or if it is, it's not advertised much at all.
I was quite surprised to see this interview on at like 7pm, which seems like almost prime time to me. Interestingly, the channel right before it had Lou Dobbs talking about his great distaste with the bail out and how this country is looking more socialist all the time. I couldn't quite believe that either of these shows would be allowed to air given the level of media censorship that I know to exist. hmmmm. Watch all of the parts of The Nuge interview if you can.
