For point of reference, my little Ted Nugent thing was a special gift for a certain person and not because of my "love" for him, although I do love me some Cat Scratch Fever.
With that said, I would be reluctant to believe anything Courtney Love says. As for the dating a 17 year old thing, sleazy? Yes. Unbelievable for a 30 year old rock star to have sex with a 17 year old? Please. Take your pick of rock star, from the Beatles to U2, they have all slept with underage teens and in the 1970's it was hardly a rarity.
As for draft dodging, he says that was a story he made up in the 1970's to get a rise out of High Times reporters. Whether it was or not, it makes him no worse than Bill Clinton, Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Joe Biden, Tom Clancy, Steve Forbes, Al Gore, Stephen King, O.J. Simpson or any of a thousand other famous people that did the same.
And none of that makes him a racist.Last edited by duane1969; 03-19-2014 at 03:24 PM.

1: statutory rape isn't okay because it happened in a "different time" or was done by rock stars.
2: Stranglehold is miles ahead of Cat Scratch Fever.

Now that is moral relativism I can live with. Be disgusted, but be reasonable. I like that.

These are exactly my thoughts put in better wording, just from the other side.

Not defending him since I see an adult man with a girl under 18 as immoral, period. However, it wasn't statutory rape as she was 17 and in Hawaii the legal age of consent is 16. I am not sure why they had a law that prevented him from marrying her when he could legally sleep with her.
I wasn't saying it was OK either. Just that it is kind of pointless to make an issue about something that happened 35 years ago in a time when everyone around him was doing the same thing.
And none of this makes him a racist, which still hasn't been responded to by the accuser (no surprise there).
A bit of irony...so many people hate him for his hunting and gun rights, yet the theme song of his show that is all about hunting and gun rights is Stranglehold, which many of those same people love.

Yes. Liking the song but not the person who made it is very difficult to understand. He also wrote that song long before anyone would give him a show, and it's featured in Dazed and Confused (awesome movie) which makes it even harder to understand. It's almost as if these people have the ability to separate politics from entertainment. That's a skill not normally seen in the US.
Weird.
But Cat Scrartch Fever carries a much better message...

Remember when this thread was about if you could marry an atheist or christian? Naw, me neither.

That is because certain people have to always redirect a thread into something it isn't. If people could stick to the subject instead of slinging lies and insults then a decent discussion could possibly take place.
