The NUGE causes problems
"Motor City Madman" shocks guests at governor's inaugural ball
? Act included Confederate flag, machine-gun props, off-color comments
? "I hope nobody approved it," Republican strategist says
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Hours after Gov. Rick Perry kicked off his second full term in office, Ted Nugent helped him celebrate at a black-tie gala, but
not all attendees were pleased by the rocker's performance.
Using machine guns as props, Nugent, 58, appeared onstage as the final act of the inaugural ball wearing a cutoff T-shirt emblazoned with the
Confederate flag and shouting offensive remarks about non-English speakers, according to people who were in attendance.
Perry's spokesman, Robert Black, downplayed the Tuesday-night incident.
"Ted Nugent is a good friend of the governor's. He asked him if he would play at the inaugural. He didn't put any stipulation of what he would play,"
Black said.
Others said the appearance was inappropriate.
"I think it was a horrible choice," GOP strategist Royal Masset said. "I hope nobody approved it."
Nugent, a hunting and gun-rights advocate, couldn't be reached for comment Thursday because he was hunting, a spokeswoman said.
The guitarist -- known as the "Motor City Madman" -- lived in Michigan most of his life before moving to Crawford in 2003. He is famed for his 1977
hit "Cat Scratch Fever."
News of Nugent's appearance at the ball drew criticism from civil rights leaders.
"Whenever someone sports the Confederate battle flag, many Texans will be offended, and rightly so, because of what it symbolizes: the enslavement of
African-Americans and more recently the symbol of hate groups and terrorists," said Gary Bledsoe, president of the Texas chapter of the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

I wonder how Nugent feels knowing that probably half of the politicians in the party he supports are ashamed of the fact that people like him support
them. Obviously I have no stats to back that statement up, but humor me here.
It's kinda like when that porn star wanted to run for governor as a Republican and she was shunned because of her occupation. She thought that since
she just did girl-girl scenes it wouldnt be a big deal. I wonder how that made her feel?

I don't care, I still love the Nuge.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?
