Re: OT - anybody listend to Ted Nugent- specifically "Fred Bear"
I have had the pleasure on several occasions to talk with him. He is from my neck of the woods back in Michigan. The guy is one of a kind to say the least. He is blunt and to the point on many issues. I my opinion, he tells it like it is. He is also on Glen Beck quite often.
