Ted Nugent is just a drunken hick. That != bad ass. That == annoying.

I suppose this is the Nietzsche perspective on badasses. Definitely Castro. How about Hitler (from this perspective)?

Stalin put his pet bird to death. He also made fun of his own son when he botched a suicide attempt. That's badass.

General William Tecumseh Sherman this guy is the very absolute definition of badass. On every level this guy was truly the most resolutely and devout badasses our nation has ever had the misfortune(?) of fostering.

Niztsche perspective is probably based around the ideal of the super human. Something someone like Fyodor Dostoyevsky would consider dumb. Dostoyevsky btw was a bad ass. Niztsche was not.

Bob dylan

seriously, i don't think there is another musician as big as him who has the balls to get up on stage and say "this is what I'm playing, I don't give a fuck if you like it or not"

I've been flickr friends with him for several years, but I only just today read up on his background. The dude is amazing. He has some of the most fantastic black and white portraits I've ever seen, coupled with really eloquent, moving captions.
