Lord Ted is a rock icon. He's been clean and sober all his life and even refused drugs from the great Jimi Hendrix when he was only 19 and in his then band Amboy Dukes.
Good for him.
He has been ostracised by the drugged up left leaning music community because of his right wing views but on many matters such as jabs and veganism he is sensible and speaks common sense. Then you compare him to Gene Simmons, Sebastian Bach, Rod Stewart and Dee Snider who were rabid jab pushers and there's no comparison.
I remember when he was in Damn Yankees and he'd turn up to a concert with a bow and a quiver full of arrows and fire the arrows on target at a portrait of Saddam Hussein. Hilarious stuff.
