Freeborn County, the rural area surrounding Albert Lea, Minn., roughly 90 minutes south of the Twin Cities, is in the midst of a movement called “Choose Civility,” an attempt to get folks to be nicer to each other in these rancorous times.
“Choose respect, consideration, empathy, and tolerance, and be part of a kinder community in Freeborn County!” the civility program website urges.
The county fair seemed to be on board with that attitude, with a mission statement that calls for “a moral, clean fair which will command the support of the entire community.”
Just when Freeborn County was beginning to sound like the epicenter of Minnesota Nice, however, someone invited Ted Nugent to the party.
Nugent, the “Motor City Madman” who is as well known for his foul-mouthed and violent language directed at Democrats as he is for his music, will play at the fair Aug. 5.
Not everybody is happy.

The Ted haters want to have him cancelled and replaced with alternative folk music, whatever THAT is.
If he does play, I'm going!

These are the wannabe limousine liberals in Minnecraponus who look down on anyone outside of their city. They are just as bad as New York liberals, just more boring and provincial.

Typical lib approach: When libs start getting their asses kicked, they call for civility.

I know everyone loves Cat Scratch Fever, but Stranglehold is Ted’s best song IMHO.
I crank it up to 11 every time I hear it.

“Alternative Folk Music” is when John Belushi grabs the guitar away from the guy and trashes it.

Tolerance for EVIL? No thanks. The world can go fuck itself. Sorry for the language. I meant exactly what I wrote.

"Turns out that the guy who once called President Obama “a subhuman mongrel” (he later offered a tepid apology) and invited him to “suck on my machine gun” is way too popular to cancel.",And...your point is?

I read when Ted and Van Halen were doing a show together, at the sound check, Ted picked up Eddie’s guitar and played it. Sounded like Ted. Eddie pick up Ted’s guitar and let rip. Sounded like Eddie. Ted had a trouble understanding that for a bit. Seems he thought the magic was in the instrument...

FTA:
'A group of residents has tried to get fair officials to cancel the shows and plans to protest and present alternative folk music the evening of Nugent’s performance............'What the hell is that? Lesbian bluegrass?!?
