Coming up on Hardball: Crosby and Nash vs Ted Nugent

[CatWoman]

Two anti war musicians against one pro war musician.

should be interesting ........

[LisaM]

1. One raving loony against two musical geniuses

is more the way I see it.

I hope they play a bumper from "Military Madness..."

[CatWoman]

3. they will be there to discuss the Rolling Stones' "Sweet Neo Con"

[devilgrrl]

2. Graham Nash is pretty cool

Hopefully, he'll smack Ted down good.

[devilgrrl]

4. Hopefully Nash or Crosby ask Nugent why his kids haven't...

volunteered to sign up.

[rodeodance]

6. Nugent should take a shower.

[devilgrrl]

9. did you know he had the gall to say something like that to...

Patti Smith. Way back in the 70's... what a boor.

[rodeodance]

17. no, but actually i was just a twinkle in my mom's eye in the 70's--but had

many lefties in the family to learn from.

[MisterP]

70. they hate him, I think: "he kept bringing them home younger and younger"

[LSparkle]

5. Is it just me or does Ted look like Satan?

[CatWoman]

7. he sounds like his mouth is full

or is it his teeth?

[rodeodance]

10. Gregory asked if protest music was alive in America?--patriotic music

is the scene-so says Nugent man.

[rodeodance]

11. this morning Fox was steaming that Nick would be playing at a football

game--the all american game. and upset that a brit would be playing. they were ragging on and on.

[ellenfl]

63. but crosby and nash disagreed. eom

[proud2BlibKansan]

37. He is Satan. n/t

[ironman202]

8. This is Hardball? More like Puffball, Nerfball, Ball of mush

mealey mouthed mother of all soft sticky centered contton candy

[Jacobin]

12. LOL. David Gregory pretending he's not old enough to

remember the 60's with that dumbass question of his: "Is it ok, or should rock bands be involved in politics?"

Holy fuck!!

Not Bob Dylan, not Buffalo Springfield, not John Lennon!!!

I mean, WHAT rock band in the 60's WASn't writing music about Viet Nam and The Man.

This is such a crock of shit, it just stinks too much to watch.

[CatWoman]

14. Crosby and Nash will be up after the commercial

give it a chance :hi:

[Jacobin]

45. grrrrr. I'm just impatient

I'll try it again.

:hi:

[rodeodance]

16. Gregory may have been too young. How old is he?

[rodeodance]

13. Gregory should take over for tweedy permantly!!1

[LiviaOlivia]

15. Ted Nugent was

an asshole when he started in the 1970's and he has stayed the course.

He's a disgusting rapist and a disgusting musician...if one can call him a musician.

[rodeodance]

18. I would love if LOTS of protest music got on the air.

[rodeodance]

19. Nash saying the europeans not sure what to make of our country--they

just completed two tours of Europe.

[rodeodance]

22. Crosby saying a large conglomerate from Tx went after the Dixie chicks.

[mtnsnake]

47. Right on. Nugent is a Vietnam draft dodger turned chickenhawk

on top of simply being a disgusting asshole who brags about roaming the countryside stalking and killing defenseless animals with his big powerful guns. His opinion means squat.

[CatWoman]

20. David Crosby is so fucking cool

with his burned out ass :D

[blueblitzkrieg]

23. My thoughts exactly!

Crosby: :yourock:

[blueblitzkrieg]

25. Did he just say we have a chimpanzee in the White House?

LOL

[Cha]

66. My friends went to a concert with

Crosby, Stills, & Nash in Saratoga, New York last month and they said Crosby did say .."he didn't like that chimpanzee in the White House" at the concert.

"They were still political and letting it all hang out"!

[rodeodance]

24. Nash said something about people seeing America run into the ground

and are interested in protest music.

[rodeodance]

27. what stopped the Vietnam war was dead bodies on the evening news

[rodeodance]

28. CRosby asked Gregory--show us a dead body on your network (para

phased. this put Gregory in his place. Gregory is smart --he will learn from these men.

[givemebackmycountry]

21. Let's see... Nugent hasn't had a decent record since???

EVER?
Fuck these assholes.
Gregory is just another in a long line of MSNBC whores.

"NUGE" could only hope to write songs like "Sympathy for the Devil" or "Street Fighting Man".

I don't even know why we bother to appear on these shows to provide something for these right wing assholes to sink their teeth into.

As soon as I turned on Hardball and saw Tony Perkins I said to myself..."Great, another religo-fascist-asswipe".

Nugent should be in jail for screwing 15 year olds when he was in his 20's.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

50. I saw him in concert in 1968 - he sucked

I went to a concert where Ted Nugent & the Amboy Dukes were one of the opening acts, along with a good Irish rock group named Eyre Apparent. They opened for three other acts that completely blew Nugent away: Soft Machine, Vanilla Fudge, and last but not least, Jimi Hendrix. After hearing Hendrix live, especially when he tore into his blues Red House, he destroyed any memory of Nugent. I was just a kid then but even I could play better than Nugent. Nugent didn't belong within 10 miles of the same stage. And to think that Nugent has badmouthed Hendrix ever since.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

26. David Crosby..... we have a chipanzee in the White House....lol!!!!!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

29. Cosby is Fantastic! "we were lied to!" n/t

[SalmonChantedEvening]

30. That was perfect!! I let out a hoot!!

Lord I love these guys, always have :D

[rodeodance]

32. nash repeated this---people are sick of being lied to. He stood up for

the troops--good people who are doing-and we do not know why.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

52. That is always the question

Why are we letting our best and our brightest die in vain?

There is nobility in this war. Period.

[rodeodance]

31. Crosby saying that people do NOT being lied to--this is what they hear.

[rodeodance]

33. Gawd--America needs MORE shows like this!!!!!!

[rodeodance]

35. [e-mail]--lets all email them a big thanks.

[CatWoman]

36. yeah

that was GREAT!!!!!

[Big Kahuna]

44. I think those Europeans were just being polite.

Let's face it. Just about every institution in America is out of control, irretrievably corrupt, and just plain batshit crazy! We really need to re-boot!

[OctOct1]

34. Wow!!! Caught the tail end

That was great!!!
I want to see that every night.
People are tired of being lied to.

New album casts Stones as critics of right-wingers
By Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa
Thursday, August 11, 2005 - Updated: 03:07 AM EST

The Rolling Stones tumble into town next week to begin rehearsals for a pair of shows that are sure to blow the Sox off fans at Fenway Park. But the British band's invasion is certainly not without controversy.
Yesterday, the usually apolitical wrinkly rockers came under fire for taking aim at America's religious right in a new song on their upcoming album.
''You call yourself a Christian, I call you a hypocrite,'' Mick Jagger wails. ''You call yourself a patriot. Well, I think you are full of (bleep).''


Naturally, the right-wingnuts on the Internet think the Brits are bashing President George Bush, hence all the high dudgeon in the conservative chat rooms.
''It certainly is very critical of certain policies of the administration, but so what! Lots of people are critical,'' Mick told the TV show ''Extra'' last night.
Jagger, who didn't include ''Sweet Neo Con'' on the 12-track advance CD sent to rock critics, denied the tune was aimed at anyone specifically. He told Newsweek ''it is direct'' and added that bandmate Keith Richards was ''a bit worried'' about backlash since he lives in Connecticut.

[Mountainman]

62. I heard some retired military guy say that last night. It must have come

from the blast fax of talking points. As if Vietnam, the nightly news war didn't happen.

[Cha]

69. As well it should!

I guess the talkinghead wasn't around for Viet Nam if he thinks this Invasion of Iraq with no viewing of caskets being allowed is "extensive coverage".

[GreenPartyVoter]

58. Did anyone record this so I can see it here online???

[bklyncowgirl]

59. Hey Ted Nugent--how many copies did YOUR last album sell?

Nah nobody's listening to groups like Green Day. Maybe people thought "American Idiot" was about....Ted Nugent?

[kwolf68]

60. And dont forget

Even after the Dixie Chicks got involved in the Toby Keith flack their tour grossed more money than ANY Country act in America, even more than MeatHead Keith.

Green Day is doing it...Sum41 has a great protest song on their latest album called "We're All To Blame"...Offspring has spoken out. The hardcore underground punk scene is completely RAGING with protest music (Anti-Flag, Pennywise, Bad Religion, Descendents, Face to Face, the list is fucking endless)....

The real problem is the shithead radio stations are a propaganda arm and won't allow music of dissent to be heard. Back in the 1960s we had real competition...AM Radio at the time played all the poppy bullshit, but FM Radio was playing the REAL TUNES. Funny how FM Radio, Wash Post, Public Broadcasting, and the media is now being run completely by right wingers.

Patriotic music is contrived bullshit for the most part. It's the typical put your head in the sand, tip your hat at everything we do, admit we are God's chosen people and move on...

I have about 10 "protest songs" written...music to about half of them....

It's called FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. They can have my guitar and pen when they pry it from my cold dead fingers.

[rodeodance]

61. thanks for the info.

Even after the Dixie Chicks got involved in the Toby Keith flack their tour grossed more money than ANY Country act in America, even more than MeatHead Keith.

[kwolf68]

65. I dont believe Tim McGraw

was out touring at the time. Real questions about his political affiliation. He has a song called "Red Ragtop" or something that is a PRO-CHOICE song.

Young kid gets pregnant, they have an abortion, and move on...knowing all along they made the right decision for THEM.

THIS IS being produced out of Nash-fucking-ville...Country artists can sing about politics, but they gotta be subtle if they do it.

[LeftyElvis]

64. Man

Can you imagine the drugs all of them have done. I'm guessing none of them will have anything coherent to say.

[CatWoman]

67. that's where you're wrong

did you even watch it?

do yourself a favor and watch the replay. check your listings.

they were more coherent than Bush on a good day, and made damn valid points. very good interview.

[LeftyElvis]

68. Anyone

is more coherent than bush; including my dog.

[spanone]

72. Great Thread CW!!!

:smoke: Looking forward to seeing the replay.

[Cha]

71. Only nugent is afflicted with

brain cell degeneration.

[devilgrrl]

73. If only they had done as much drugs as Elvis... they'd just be dead.

:sarcasm:
