Take a ride to the land inside and you'll see
How happy life could be
If all of mankind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
You can have my drugs when you pry them from my furry, undulating tentacles.
Death due to drugs and the social carnage heaped upon America by hippies is nothing to celebrate. That is a fool's game, but it is quite apparent some burned-out hippies never learn.
Someone please tell me that's a clever satire.
Labs that line is even better paired with the one below it:
Death due to drugs and the social carnage heaped upon America by hippies is nothing to celebrate. That is a fool's game, but it is quite apparent some burned-out hippies never learn.
Mr. Nugent is a rock star releasing his 35th album, "Love Grenade," this summer.
GONNA BLOW ME SOME HIPPIES UP WITH MY LOVE GRENADE! I'M THE NUGE, PUNKS, AND THAT'S THE REAL PARTY!
Dammit. Add some italics in there someplace.
Ted Nugent Talks that Way Even When Buying Socks
New Ted Nugent Cologne Tested on 'Every Goddamn Animal We Could Find"
The WSJ editorial page should give him a regular spot. He's perfect: anti-drug, pro-gun, artless, obnoxious, and completely fucking crazy.
violent dopers
DAMMIT I told you to leave those cookies here, now you're gonna PAY WITH YOUR HEAD
*ahem*
O, I guess he might mean people who are down with the brown town. Cos potheads only get bent out of shape over 2 things: no more munchies, or no more pot.
He just sounds so upset that they had more fun than he did.
Never before have I turned on you
You look too good to me
Your beady eyes, they could cut me in two
And i just can't let you be
Well, it's a free for all, and I heard it said
You can bet your life
Stakes are high and so am I
It's in the air tonight
See you there with your cheshire grin
I got my eyes on you
Shake your tail feather in my face and there's no tellin' what I'll do
Well looky here, you sweet young thing:
the magic's in my hands
When in doubt, I'll whip it out.
I got me a rock'n'roll band
It's a free for all
Here we go! Look out below!
I'm on the prowl tonight
When it's said and done, I'll have my fun.
I can chew anything I bite
Come one, come all, to a midnight ball.
The invitation's there
Come alone and I'll drive it home.
I'll help you, I do declare
It's a free for all
Never before have I turned on you
Well you look too good to me
Your beady eyes, they could cut me in two
And i just can't let you be
Well, it's a free for all, and I heard it said
You can bet your life
Stakes are high and so am I
It's in the air tonight
It's a free for all
I love the line, "As a diehard musician ..."
I think he's just so used to using the phrase "diehard" to describe himself that he cant tell anymore when it might be vaguely appropriate.
Per Snarkout's lyrics in 1.
Here is the album cover for Journey to the Center of the Mind.
Now I know musicians don't necessarily have any control over album art, but still .... quite explicitly drug-related even for the times.
George Harrison was more cutting about the Haight.
12: I think you are underestimating just how many people are fighting to keep him from being a musician. Someone like the Nuge, who has to struggle to put out albums in the face of the near universal knowledge that he is ridiculous, can truly be called a "die hard musician."
I'm happy to say I never heard of this guy. Doesn't say much for his claim to be a rock star.
I have no idea what songs, if any, Ted Nugent was ostensibly known for before he became known as a right-wing caricature.
15 is marvelous.
Of the Nuge's diehard oeuvre, the only diehard title I know is "Cat Scratch Fever", and I don't even diehard know how it goes. I'm inclined to guess something like
Cat Scratch Fever! (Too cold, too cold)

You probably know the riff, if not the song. Or this one:

He's not really very good.
The twin-guitar intro to "Journey to the Centre of the Mind" was truly stunning. It fell off a cliff shortly after.
But I'll always remember him for "Why is an Orange more Orange than an Orange".
"Stranglehold" is pretty good. Does anyone else remember his guest spot on Miami Vice?
Oh man. Oh man. I'm now emailing 22 to all my friends.
