    His music is terrible. Just what I’d want to do; pay to hear awful music and during the breaks get preached to by said awful musician.

    You can love the USA and not kiss Trump's ass at the same time. Ponder that for a bit.

    Not as weird as a looooooong time poster in this sewer of a forum pretending to find 3 posts in his thread to be "weird".

    Most of the posts in this radioactive landfill are *weird*.

    I guess you think 'weird' means not thinking like you.

    The song is meaningless garbage.

    What drives the song isn't the lyrics, but the impassioned delivery of mumbo jumbo around the catchy hook.

    That's why it was restructured from its original country folk tune iteration (that sucked out loud), into a rock jam.

    IOW: whatever.

    I posted a video here of Trump playing Fortunate Son at a rally…. Trump is embodiment of what that song is about.

    I don't care for his politics, but the dude--in his hey day--was the best there ever was, live.

    THE GOAT.

    Second place is farther back than the white runners behind the Kenyans /Ethiopians are behind all the big time marathons

    Again, whatever bro. It's a kick ass jam, and no one gives a damn about the lyrics.

    (And yes, I'm quite familiar with both lyrics and their intended meanings for both tunes...

    Everyone knows that Trump is a fake patriot who only cares about enriching himself through criminal acts. People have known that for decades. He's a convicted felon.

    Why would Bruce be any different? Unlike Trump, Bruce Springsteen actually loves America. Not stealing from people less well off.

    That old has-been, Springsteen, is a real POS. And I never liked his songs. Does he know that it was the DEMOCRATS that got us into Vietnam? What a dumbazz... he probably blames the Republicans for that. He was born in commie town U.S.A.

    He’s no Kid Rock that’s for sure. If I was a conservative I’d hate my life too if Kid Rock and Ted Nugent were my “noteworthy” celebrity musicians.

    I like Kid Rock and Ted Nugent's music... that much is for sure, regardless of their politics. But it is nice to know they're real Patriots too. I found that out about them way later in their respective musical careers.

    Ted Nugent crapped his pants and did meth to be declared unfit in order to avoid the Vietnam war, he’s a Patriot about as much as Captain Bone Spurs. Lmao. He also liked underaged girls and actively wrote songs about it so another thing he has in common with today’s GOP.

    What's a real Patriot? The two "musicians" you mention are flag-waving hypocrites. They say they love freedom but don't mind when it is denied to people they don't like.

    maga hero…..

    “Ted Nugent (then age 30) had the novel idea of becoming legal guardian to a 17-year-old girl, so that they could have sex without, you know, her parents having legal recourse. When Ted Nugent was 32 years old, he released the song "Jailbait."

    Well, I don't care if you're just 13
    You look too good to be true
    I just know that you're probably clean
    Wait a minute, officer
    Don't put those handcuffs on me
    Put them on her, and I'll share her with you

    he told VH1, years later, he had several relationships with young girls,


    Nugent has six children with four women.

    Ted Nugent's Jailbait Problem


    “In a 1990 interview now available online for the first time, Ted Nugent defended apartheid in South Africa, said that he uses racial expletives because he “ hang around with a lot of n****, and describe the bizarre efforts. He claims to have taken to avoid the military service during the Vietnam war.”

    He’s waiting for someone else to do it. Kinda like the typical squawking tough guys on here do.
