bluesguitar65 Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Man, I remember when this first aired back in 87'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMPLUrQnMj4
Searcy Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 One of Teds most redeeming qualities is that he never takes himself to seriously.

Searcy Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Here is Nugent charging $$$ for his autograph. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOq84IYRHr8 Love that one. Classic.
Big Bill Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 If I could charge for my signature I would. If I was to sign my name to an album cover, the owner would be pissed off.
rocketman Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 "Still good for country." That's hysterical. As far as charging for signatures; he's right in that they are just using him to make money. But he'll sign it if you're sincere. Neo got his guitar signed by Ted with no problems.
badbluesplayer Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 [thumbup] for the first vid. But his fans are getting too much of the pie in the second video. "These guys! I'm doing a benefit for their feeble f&c(!ng lives."
Searcy Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 I guess it's hard to tell but Ted's not really dealing with fans in the second video. He's not at a table signing autographs for fans. He's trying to get into his truck. The guys that are bugging him are professional memorabilia hounds that run all over getting **** signed then selling it on Ebay and in comic book stores. They get twenty $15 pick guards signed then toss them on a $99 Squire and try to sell if for $1500. Given Teds well documented history for making money for others while being taken to the cleaners himself I can see his point.
surfpup Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 One of Teds most redeeming qualities is that he never takes himself to seriously. Perhaps more like only redeeming quality these days!
Searcy Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 Perhaps more like only redeeming quality these days! Depends on who you ask.
Guest Farnsbarns Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 Ted is a fine, upstanding, capitalist, conservative with his head on the right way. IMO he is a breath of fresh air in a world where most people say what the listener wants to hear. As for that argument with Rosanne Barr, he embarrassed her and her intellect with straight answers. He was spot on with most of his points. Now where is my fire retardant suit?...

Plus, the guy has... or at least had... some SERIOUS hair. Plus, if it were me, I'd be begging everybody to ask for my autograph, so I'm probably a little jealous.

kaleb Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 I agree with many of his points, but he just takes **** way too far nowadays. We go to see him for his music, not his mouth. I'd much rather see him singing with David Letterman than trying to be a politician. Ah, those were the good days.
Searcy Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 I enjoy him for both actually. One of the only true rock and roll rebels left alive.
kaleb Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 I enjoy him for both actually. One of the only true rock and roll rebels left alive. I love it when he talks about guns. I hate it when he gets too deep into politics. Making a claim like his "I'll be dead or in jail" statement was rather stupid in my opinion.
Searcy Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 It was just an off the cuff comment. If he had said that about W. he would be held up as a brave hero. Either way I don't think it was nearly the big deal it was made out to be.

Either way I don't think it was nearly the big deal it was made out to be. Yeah. Unfortunately, you're right. Not by me, though! And of course, the media takes things and blows them out of proportion. It's not just his politics that turn me off, it's every other musician or celebrity that gets into politics as well. Like the Dixie Chicks. As Alice Cooper so proudly put it, that stuff is treason against rock n' roll!
dbreslauer Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I agree with many of his points, but he just takes **** way too far nowadays. We go to see him for his music, not his mouth. I feel this way about Springsteen too. what was that saying about opinions and everyone having one again? :)
