“It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.” LifeChildrenSaidGovernmentAgeMoralShadowTestsTreatsSickDawnDisabilityTwilightEldersElderlyNeedyHandicapsHandicappedLight And ShadowSenior Citizen Author:Hubert H.

“Those original, black, spirited, defiant, rebellious musical masters. Chuck Berry was one of the first masters of Les Paul's new electric guitar; he pretty much laid down the gauntlet, and I don't think anybody's ever beat him since. Way before the British Invasion, I was tuned into the black guys that created the British Invasion. Without Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Lightnin' Hopkins, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry and the Motown hits, there would be no Beatles.” ThinkingWayFirstsWould BeGuyBlackWaterMastersBeatsOriginalsGuitarMusicalBritishElectricRebelliousInvasionJohnsonChuckBerriesSpiritedMuddyHopkinsMotownElectric GuitarBlack GuysGauntletHowlin WolfBritish Invasion Author:Ted Nugent

“It grabs me, but not as much as it grabs some of the other people that rave about them. With the Black Keys, I'm missing crescendos with the sax, keyboard or guitar solo. It never comes to me. All my favorite music is rife with crescendo and I'm not hearing enough with them. If you can get the Black Keys to hear this, tell them I offer my crescendo guitar anytime they desire it.” PeopleIfsEnoughDesireBlackMissingKeysOffersMusic IsGuitarMy FavoriteHearingSoloKeyboardsRaveCrescendoGuitar SolosFavorite MusicBlack Keys Author:Ted Nugent
“Oh God almighty, another Detroit monster is Chad Smith of the Chili Peppers. Their music is intoxicating between Flea and Chad Smith. They're contemporary because they're still making good records, but I don't think there's anything new that has a groove and soulfulness. The Chili Peppers just stink of soul-and that's the ultimate compliment. They continue what James Brown created.” ThinkingStillsSoulRecordsMusic IsUltimateMonstersContemporaryBrownComplimentAlmightyDetroitStinkGrooveFleasPeppersChiliChadGood RecordsChili PeppersSoulfulness Author:Ted Nugent

“I stop and think what they call "punk rock" today...give me a break! Let me know when they can walk in the vapor trail of Little Richard, which was punk.

“I'd like to have James Brown as my singer. I already have the best drummer, Tommy Clufetos. I've jammed a bunch with John Entwistle, and it was like a musical orgy. That guy is a living, breathing, grunting rhythm.

“I don't care if it's Bruno Mars or Aerosmith or ZZ Top... it's about songs. 'Paperback Writer,' 'Satisfaction,' 'Cat Scratch Fever,' 'Walk This Way,' all the killer songs in the world start with an identifiable guitar pattern that is basically a bastardization of either honky-tonk or boogie-woogie.
