Nugent also dated/courted a girl when she was 17.quote:See, in 1978, Nugent wanted to shack up with a 17-year-old whom we can probably assume knew all the words to "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang." Problem was, he was 30, and she wasn't quite old enough to marry. Now, far be it from Ted to be living in sin with a teenager, so he did the proper thing. With her parents' (unbelievable) consent, he went ahead and became her legal guardian. He adopted her. http://www.houstonpress.com/music/the-five-most-repellent-things-ted-nugent-has-ever-done-6756533

CommonShore posted:This leads me to c). Have you noticed that a ridiculous percentage rock music is about teenage angst and/or being a rock star, often on the road? Well that's because many of the people who write it have no life experience other than being an angsty teenager, and they spend lots of time being a musician on the road, often dreaming about stardom. Bright Eyes was my favorite band for a while in high school so I'm aware

Jesus, I heard he shat himself to dodge the draft but I always assumed he did it once during the physical examination and just claimed to have chronically loose bowels. That would be disgusting enough but what he actually did is some Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom level poo poo.

Coming from a country which still has active draft for all male population; if you want to have the "they'll call the dead before they draft me"-papers, you really need to commit to being a loving lunatic at the draft examinations. They also have a number of people specially trained for seeing thru the acts and pinpointing the actually crazy ones. Saying that you poo poo yourself constantly just puts you into the artillery regiment.

Because of the attempt, and because the "not so bright, not physically very capable" are all sent to the artillery (or supply but artillery is generally considered the shittier job). Smart ones go to the com-ops, tech or engineering, physically fit to the various areas of infantry and armored. Smart and fit go the the special forces or "counter action groups".

Yeah, in a mandatory draft system, I could see "shits himself regularly" to be read as "won't leave his post to go to the bathroom" and get put on some watch duty or something.

I work in a chain grocery store and they regularly play "There She Goes" by the La's and I always take amusement in telling younger employees what the song is about. Another example of this sort of obliviousness is the old cruise ads that had Lust for Life by Iggy Pop as the music.

I was watching some YouTube docs about 70's TV shows last night and found myself wondering about which ones that featured a black or a minority cast aged the best. There was Good Times, which was OK for about a year and half. The Jeffersons which was never great but never really horrible. What's Happening which was...pretty bad I think. Sanford and Son hasn't aged that well but Red Foxx was pretty great. Chico and the Man is the only show I can think of that had a lead hispanic character. I grew up with these shows and to some extent was all I really knew about non white people beyond the kids I went to school with. The 70's, and Norman Lear in particular, I think deserve a lot of credit for some of the things they tried to do and on occasion accomplished. In a lot of ways the shows back then were more brave and daring than what we have now. Apropos of nothing but it always annoyed me that a show called "What's Happening!" used an exclamation point instead of a question mark.

Eh, some of Sanford and Son can be real funny still. it's like half and half. Sometimes that's definitely a show where it's a product of its times. One time I was watching an episode and Lamont told his dad he was going out with his friends because there was a new x-rated movie they wanted to catch. Like, man, that must have been so weird to live in the brief window when porn chic was a thing. Like, I'm aware it was, but it's still so strange to see and hear stuff from that time.

I still think we had porn chic in more recent years, but that's probably thanks to the internet. Compared to the 80s and early 90s, there's a different sense of acceptance, or it feels like, at least. There were those handful of attempts in the 90s to make NC-17 a real legitimate rating for films but almost nothing ever came of it but some fringe movies and a lot of R-rated cuts until eventually the home video market just figured they could get away with Unrated editions. There was also the late 90s/early 00s where there seemed to be a porn empowerment era. The media was talking about how women were influential in the porn industry as producers and consumers and not just performers, how a handful of performers had their own media empires, and so on.

Don't forget, Midnight Cowboy was rated X and won an Oscar for Best Picture. X didn't always mean porn then, although that Sanford And Son probably meant that.

Nah, you guys don't realize how crazy it got. There was a period where Hollywood films were tanking in the seventies (this was before Jaws changed the entire system, basically inventing the Summer Blockbuster). And then suddenly porn with plot came along, different from the bland stuff hollywood was doing, and it sold like gangbusters. Deep Throat was just this mindblowing success, where a porn literally became the #1 movie in America for a minute. There were all kinds of weird porn films to come out of this fad. It didn't last long, but it definitely made an impact.

Rocky Horror, Terminator 2 and 3 and Army of Darkness I thought were all rated R at the time of release, but if they'd been released since at various times in the last 10-15 years or so, they'd likely be considered PG-13 affairs. At the very least, the studios would have gone in and cut or edit every single bit that gave them the R-rating to bring it down to a PG-13.
