the other night some idiot/psycho stuck "for no one" on the pub jukebox and i've never seen a room die such a horrible, suffocating death, for the excruciating length of the song. then again, i might've put it on by mistake while trying to select 'and your bird can sing'

I heart the Cubmaster. He died way too young, I wonder why?

'penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes' vs 'there's violence in the air'

Noise Monkeys was receiving strong reviews, including a positive notice by Robert Christgau in The Village Voice, when tragedy struck. Koda had been sick for a while, but he was slowly recovering. In the spring, he was put on kidney dialysis, and he was recovering, but then he suddenly took sick during the evening of June 30, 2000. He died early in the morning on July 1, 2000 at the age of 51.

Cub just seemed like a guy who collected records and played gtr instead of getting all fukked up on liquor & drugz, but I could be wrong. Detroit area people partied like beasts back in the day.

I talked to Mike Davis of MC5 once and he said Nugent's anti-drug thing was bullshit, claimed he took acid with Terrible Ted.

I have that last Noise Monkeys CD. It's good and pretty much in the tradition of the great from Brownsville Station.

telling it like it is:

TN: “Let’s give credit where credit is due. For the egotistical monster that I am, I always have celebrated the names Jimmy McCarty and Mitch Ryder. Equally impacting was the black portrayal as accurately projected by Van Morrison and Them - and all those English bands - that’s what made ‘em … the Stones? Black. The Beatles? Originally? Black. Yardbirds? Black. You name the bands that touched people’s soul – it wasn’t because of Jeff Beck’s playing per se, it was because of Mick Jagger per se – it was because they were overwhelmed by the blackness of it all. Let me tell you right now Jay – use this as you will – because my being lives in the primal camp fire right now, because of my hunting with a sharp stick today and because I am still obsessed, possessed and driven by the primality of the rock and roll banging, clanging, uninhibited, rhythmical, naked dance around the figurative and literal camp fire of my hunting life, I assure you that it all came from and started with the twang of a bow – that’s the first musical note – and the thump of a skin - that’s the first beat, the skin being dried around that fire for clothing or whatever … celebrating sex and/or the killing of the enemy and/or the killing of food. That was it.”

Tommy Shaw? Originally? Black.

another, more unlikely link between the Nuge and the Beatles is Russ Gibb, the Detroit disc jockey who promoted many of those Stooges/MC5/Amboy Dukes shows in the old Grande Ballroom days, and also birthed the "Paul is dead" rumor on his Sunday night radio show on WKNR...

― hank (hank s), Sunday, 23 April 2006 20:18 (twenty years ago)

'great white buffalo' is the original 'guilty of being white'

CMG: Who would you say are the major influences on your musical style?

MacKaye: That’s pretty hard to say. When I was a kid I listened to Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles and Janis Joplin. In the '70s I was a huge Ted Nugent fan. In the '70s I actually thought of Nugent as an animal rights guy because at that time the everyone ate meat, you just didn’t even think about it. Anyone who didn’t eat meat was considered a freak and the meat we ate just came in these little packages. I read this interview with Nugent and he was saying “I don’t eat meat from packages and if I eat meat it’s the meat I’m gonna kill.” Now I thought that seemed fair enough. I had in my mind that he was a real animal rights sort of guy. He and I are politically eons apart but me and Rollins used to go see him play. We liked him quite a bit.

I saw Nugent at Irving Plaza in 2000 or 2001. He was fuckin' great.

"Revolver" obv. I am sure Ted Nugent would have loved to own that revolver too.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Thursday, 14 September 2006 21:11 (nineteen years ago)

heh heh, dave q...I thought the exact same thing when I saw that story...

― hank (hank s), Friday, 15 September 2006 01:03 (nineteen years ago)

Nuge > Fab Four - easy. Anyone who plays guitar can tell you that.

― Wand Milius (Roger Fidelity), Friday, 15 September 2006 01:14 (nineteen years ago)

The Moving Sidewalks version of "I wanna hold your hand" trumps either of them.

The Beatles never took a dump on stage the way the Nudge used to.
