I have spent some time with Nugent and he is a great guy. A hero,NO! Does he get a little wired up? YES!But he is the kind of guy that would be on the floor playing with your kids if he was at your house. I do think he gets a little excited on some ofthe shows that I have seen but you can't take away his passion that's for sure. Rumors are he did dodge the draft. I guess you would need to ask him to get the correct answer though. Politician maybe, but guess what, he would be one of the few that would be fighting for what you love to do!
