Nugent nuggets

Never at a loss for words, the Motor City Madman talked to us about politics, music and TV. (We edited out the swear words.)

Are you considering any more reality shows?

It's a hoot, because I am able to get the truth about hunting, fishing and trapping across. There are a bunch of offers on the table now for different reality shows.

Do you keep in touch with the guys from VH1's SuperGroup?

Off and on. There is no plan to record together. SuperGroup is really good, but my band is so much better. When it's time to unleash the musical beast, I'd rather be with my band.

Any animal you still want to hunt?

I'd love to kill a bunch of terrorists. And season never closes on child molesters.

How does rock 'n' roll today compare to the glory days?

I pray that we will get back to the musical focus and the real soulful celebration. Dave Matthews can't hold a candle to the '70s artists. Maroon 5 wouldn't have been able to sell out a 7-Eleven back when I was starting out. Now, it's all about haircuts and pierced nipples.

Who are you listening to now?

James Brown, Velvet Revolver, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day and the Beatles.

Who are you endorsing for president?

... I love Mike Huckabee. Fred Thompson is a great man and Mitt Romney is a great man in many ways. Rudy Giuliani is a great man in many ways and in many ways he is not.
