Right - I completely missed his 'subhuman mongrel' comment. Seems that even The New Yorker dissected it. http://www.newyorker.com/news/amy-da...in-translation

Anyhow - while he is a nutter, I doubt he actually is a racist. Sometimes people say disgusting things without implying their terrible connotations. I certainly was guilty of using homophobic language in the past and it's a self-conscious effort to completely remove it from my vocabulary. Sometimes I might still slip a 'you gay bastard' in a random conversation and then I feel terribly guilty. Never ever have I been a homophobe though.

And I find Nugent's music interesting to be fair. Wondering what he thinks about Jon Bon Bon nowadays...back in the day they were like buds, weren't they? He's probably on Richie's side
