Pointy star bastard.
He’s referencing the fact that Ted soiled himself to avoid the draft. Yes that’s right. Like the 5 year old he acts like, him poop in his pants.

What it must be like, to be both brazenly horrible as a person, and also comedy gold.
I'm kinda conflicted on that one. Given his usual ra-ra-murrica attitude, it is pretty hypocritical of him to dodge the draft (although it's not like that kind of hypocrisy was hard to find among the right during that era, including a certain orange man with bone spurs). However, I can't say I wouldn't do exactly the same thing to avoid fighting in such an unjustified war.

Being as murican and pro millitary as can be while shitting your pants to avoid the draft seems good enough of a reason to make fun of someone. Talking up the millitary complex like it's a godsend, only to go through extreme measures to avoid it is hilarious.
Guys like Muhammad Ali get 100% respect though. Be against war and sticking to your guns.
Saw him twice with Damn Yankees. Not gonna lie the show kicked ass. I feel like he shot something with a flaming arrow... or is that just something that I feel like he would do and I'm misremembering? Lol

I saw him live at a county fair in Wisconsin. I feel like it might have been my first "big concert" experience in 1994 (I would have been 15), but remember loving it and the Damn Yankee's "cover" in the middle of the show.
But yeah, that arrow thing totally seems like something he'd have done, especially after Fred Bear came out.

The flaming arrow has been one of his stage gimmicks for a long time. So, it may or may not have happened at the show you saw him at, depending on the venue, but it's definitely something he does.

Well, unfortunately, he HASN'T been in oblivion for the past 30 years. Otherwise no one would give a shit about one more Covid denier getting Covid. On the bright side, this means we get to watch karma in action a bit.

That is actually smart. I was "lucky enough" to have a disability spaaring me from mandatory military service when it still existed in France but if I hadn't, I'd certainly have tried to find a scheme not to waste one year of my life playing at soldier.

It’s pretty consistent with the Trump republicans. They are unwilling to commit to what they say. These morons who stormed the capital, and are now too afraid of copping to the original reasons are a prime example. I don’t think any of them would enlist if they had a choice, would “die to help the economy” or any of the other bullshit they prattle on about. I mean, Trumps own kids talk about how Americans should have to work for their jobs, and not ride their parents coattails. They just don’t see the hypocrisy.

I think you have to take this in the context of American, and not French, politics, though.
For one, serving in the French army means trying not to die while waiving a white flag and waiting for 'Murica to show up and bail you all out. Fuck yeah!
(I kid, I kid)
Second... The Vietnam war was a VERY politically divisive period in American culture, with the liberal beatnick druggie hippies broadly opposed to the war effort, and good, red-blooded, patriotic, God-fearing Americans being for it. The culture wars as we know them today basically started with Nixon's "Silent Majority" and while today the Vietnam War is - rightly - seen as a much more convoluted conflict (and, ironically, yet another time we came in to bail out the French
), with "right" and "wrong" being murky, being against the war effort and dodging the draft was a pretty radical statement back then. Now, remember how even as recently as about 20 years ago, John Kerry's campaign was arguably derailed by the "Swift Boats for Truth" cmpaign to criticize his patriotism for serving in the war and then coming home and speaking out against it and, I believe allegedly but this could have been confirmed, throwing his medals back over the White House lawn wall to return them in protest of what Kerry saw as an unjust war. You could serve, heroically, and still get in hot water for merely saying you thought getting involved in the first place trying to "stop the spread of communism" was wrong. That campaign brought us another four years of W.
So, against that backdrop, it's mindbending that a prominent and vocal conservative can openly brag about dodging the draft by showing up at his physical smashed, drooling on himself, and literally shitting his pants. It's not smart. It's insane.

Fair enough. That reply was speculative on my part. After my post, I later saw that while in Florida he had mentioned getting the vaccine.
It's OK. It's the Blood of Jebus by the time he actually drinks it.
I saw him New Year's Eve 1999-2000 in Detroit. He rode out on the stage on an American Bison and shot an arrow into a guitar. I'm betting someone out there in the youtube-o-sphere must have taken video of it, but it was 1999, so they might not have made decent enough cameras back then.
When he was sick back a little over a month ago, Nugent said "I have never been so scared in my life." Then, Tedly was saying that he "knocked the shit out of covid." Now he's denying he ever made any of those statements or the ones about covid being a hoax, which were all documented.

He definitely did the "shoot the guitar with an arrow" thing for years after "The Great White Buffalo" became a thing at shows. I saw it a couple of times.
