Adult men are only 30% of the casualties in Gaza. If you still believe Israel is targeting Hamas you're an idiot.

The song was released in 1981 just towards the end of his heyday as a rock star. Back in the day “jailbait” was a common term that meant exactly what it sounds like. I heard used it in a serious manner as in “Don’t fool around with her she’s jailbait” but more often in a joking manner.

That song did not get airplay even in that era when songs describing or implying statutory rape were commonplace. I guess 13 was too young for even then.

He was not arrested for that song because writing about it is not illegal. You have to do the thing the song is about.

Nugent was a right winger long before Obama was president. I remember in the early 90s the Michigan Militia being on the news for being raided and my co worker wondering if Nugent was among the arrested.

Nugent is genuinely a bad person.

Looking from the perspective of 2025 the term “jailbait” never mind the activities it describes seems sexist as hell as it implies the underage girl is at fault. So it is good the term has fallen out of favor and better yet fell out of favor sans a cancellation campaign.

Yeah, I researched the song after I watched the video and saw that it was released in 1981. It’s shocking to me that Nugent still has such a platform, making frequent appearances on mainstream news outlets, and has a following. Well, I know a bit about his following. :roll:

Of course, Fox News portrays him as a Good GuyTM.

Today, Jason sits down with legendary rock star, Ted Nugent. Ted reflects on his upbringing in Detroit, with an emphasis on traditional values, discipline, and a love for music that shaped his life. Ted opens up about the benefits of a sober lifestyle and expresses his deep love for freedom, country, and God. Plus, he previews his TV show and podcast, The award-winning Ted Nugent Spirit of the Wild and The Ted Nugent Spirit Campfire podcast.
