Who and why flagged this post?
I am just wondering if it was because you didn't like the person who posted it,didn't like that he referenced liberals or were insulted because you can't dance?

I remember first hearing Stranglehold on the radio in '75 and rushed out to buy the album (original pressing) that I still have. After years of playing it repeatedly I had to by another one due to all the crackles and pops. A couple of things I discovered after research that I didn't know: his guitar solo was recorded in a single take - one and done, the vocals are by Derek St. Holmes but the "Sometimes you wanna get higher" verse is sung by Ted.
However, on the tv series "Sounds of the Time" he said that unfortunately every record label passed on him. So about the lyrics, Ted said it was a song of defiance...
Guitar World ranked it the 31st greatest guitar solo of all time.

Here I come again now baby
Like a dog in heat
Tell it's me by the clamor now baby
I like to tear up the streets
I've been smoking for so long
You know I'm here to stay
Got you in a stranglehold baby
You best get out of the way

"That's to the industry. This is the music people love: I'm playing 300 concerts a year and people are foaming at the mouth. The energy at my concerts was unprecedented and remains unprecedented, so some dirtbag at a desk in New York City is going to say that my music isn't relative? Come on the road with me a couple hundred nights and see the relative. Watch the girls dance - that's relative, you dirtbag. So it was a song of defiance." - Ted Nugent

@PatKirby Cool info. Thanks for that.
I knew about the singer only because I had a musician friend I jammed with for a spell that knew everything about music and musicians. LOL
Ted has a house about 10 minutes from me. I have yet to see him. He even owned a hunting store in town and I never seen him there either.
Everyone i know has met him at least once.

I don’t flag posts just because I don’t agree with the opinion. I do reserve the right to block or mute the poster if I find the opinion particularly distasteful. But I know that just because I personally may not want to deal with certain posters doesn’t mean they don’t have the right to speak.

@bijouxbroussard Excellent comment. I feel the same way. If it is offensive just keep scrolling.
The funny part about the original post was it was sort of a joke. Yes it was at liberals expense but none the less a joke.
Some times I have to wonder about people.
I don't report or block. Just me. :-)

🤣 I don't think he flagged the post.
But I'm pretty sure he has a problem counting to 3. Sadly, it's not his only problem.
