When Nuge called, he immediately launched into a diatribe on why there are so few Republican rockers, talking for eight uninterrupted minutes, several times working himself into a screaming frenzy, once about colonial British taxes. Nuge also burped twice. Amid this rant, Nuge mentioned--three times--that unlike the Kerry-loving, dope-smoking hippie rockers on tour, he believes in living by the Ten Commandments.
