... "but here I'll show a little love for Bruce. I've been able to perform on the 'Conan' show with...E STREET BAND, which is one of the greatest joys of my life. I've always been surrounded by the best musicians, and that's the perfect example. We played 'Jenny Take A Ride' by Mitch Ryder, and Max [Weinberg] and the guys performed it with unbelievable accuracy and perfection and soulfulness. So I give him that salute for having that quality of virtuosos that deliver his music."
He continued: "Instead of going after Bruce for being a dirtbag and supporting communists like Biden and Obama, people that ruined quality of life, especially for minorities — how he can't see that, I don't know. But I would like to salute Bruce Springsteen because he always supported Mitch Ryder and THE DETROIT WHEELS, a foundational, fortified A-10 Warthog of musical authority in all great bands' lives… And if nothing else, if I met Bruce, I wouldn't punch him. I always have Mike Tyson with me, and I give him a hundred bucks to punch assholes. And I wouldn't have Mike punch him. I would say, 'Mike, take a minute off. Go find some other asshole to punch.' But I'm gonna say 'thank you' to Bruce Springsteen because we share the reverence and the admiration for musical integrity, enthusiasm. And you have to admit Bruce's career is based on his musical heart and soul. The delivery and content of his lyrics I don't abide by most of the time, but I would thank him for his enriching lives with powerful music. I wouldn't go into his communist predilections. I would also thank him for doing a 9/11 tribute. So he's got some great, great spirit."

I think Nugent wants to put Springsteen in a stranglehold.
Take him down like a great white buffalo.
Nugent has more class in his thumb.

Ted called him out and said thanks for our time!
Good for Ted!
Wait for the reply....
Enough said!
Ted is Right On!
What Uncle Ted says is spot-on.
I get the impression that Ted Nugent spends his money very wisely. Ted made a lot of money back in the 60’s and 70’s.
I’ve never heard about him being arrested for drug or alcohol problems or any violent acting out. There must be a steadying force in his life that has kept him within the guardrails of having a good life. Alice Cooper is similar. There stage presence is wild, but in real life, each man seems to think before he acts. Good for them both.
“Am I the only one who quits singin’ along
Every time they play a Springsteen song?”
From “Am I The Only One”
Song by Aaron Lewis
Alice Cooper is a born-again Christian man. I don't know for sure about Ted Nugent but if I had to guess, he's Christian, or at least was raised Christian.
Christ is a powerful steadying force. The fact that these guys act up on stage has little to do with their real inner self.
Class acts,that understand stage presence.
Springsteen should be kicked in the tw*t.
Nugent is the Trump of Rock and Roll.
Deal with it.

Cooper, born in Detroit, is the son and grandson of preacher men. Church of Jesus Christ.
If I’m listening to the radio and a Springsteen song comes on I switch stations
” on I switch stations “
That’s to avoid terminal induced depression
best part of the song
Not a fan of Ted’s music. Not much of a fan of his inarticulate comments either, but he is correct about Springsteen here. And also not a fan of Springsteen. What the heck, I’m an anomaly because I mostly listen to classical and some folk music.
Ted is certainly unafraid to speak his mind, but that’s what makes him so endearing. In his way, he was making a Christ-like point. That just because we may disagree with someone, even strongly in some cases, doesn’t mean that person isn’t capable of making some small contribution to the world. It’s hard to remember sometimes, in a world so polarized.
