Motor City Madman vs. the Secret Service—who’s more believable?


Old people speak their minds because by over 60 there’s no point in lying and more to the point … nobody cares what you’re saying anyway (well, with the exception of Betty White) ...

But old Rockers speak their minds and the media (and Secret Service) are all over ’em. Secret Service looking into Ted Nugent violent anti-Obama message,” by Olivier Knox.

One could argue that celebrities should know better. Stars of the ‘60s and ‘70s know all about how the media machine works—and the government. But they’re old—they don’t care. Big difference.

And Ted Nugent didn’t get to be the “Motor City Madman” with his demure demeanor. If you were a young adult during that era you’ll understand that Ted Nugent was simply being Ted. He’s nothing else if not honest in his rants and true to who he is.
Unfortunately, the political climate and tolerance level of the rebellious Sixties and Psychedelic Seventies has dissipated with a toke, into a political showdown of whiny babies, and the inability to see past HOW something is being said, to WHAT is being said. Big difference.
Perhaps the Secret Service should rethink its own conduct before attacking others’. “U.S. Special Forces members involved in prostitution scandal, sources say,” by the CNN Wire Staff, updated 12:12 PM EDT, Wed April 18, 2012.
I find their sexual and likely loose-lip security maelstrom more of a threat than an opinionated Rocker at an NRA event. I mean really—"Eleven Secret Service members have been implicated in the investigation, while as many as 10 U.S. military personnel from all branches of the armed forces are being questioned about potential involvement in any misconduct.” These are our “elite” White House forces.
 … Which news incident is more honest and in appropriate context?!
Keepin' it real,
