But there is a real pandemic of denial in America. There’s a lunatic fringe that would protest a guy killing a hog on Survivor so people can eat.

A loin cloth wearin’, bow-and-arrow-armed crazed rock and roll caveman, impassioned hunting advocate and contentious right-wing political provocateur, there’s one thing for damn certain: Ted Nugent doesn’t shy away from speaking his mind.
Love him or hate him, he must be doing something right, as the sixty-five-year-old rocker has had a “stranglehold” on the music business for over four decades. After garnering national attention as leader of The Amboy Duke, the “Motor City Madman” forged a massively successful solo career; his albums, Ted Nugent, Free for All, Cat Scratch Fever and Double Live Gonzo are deemed hard rock classics.
After a downturn in the early ‘80s, Nugent rebounded in a big way near the end of the decade with the supergroup Damn Yankees. Joining forces with Tommy Shaw of Styx and Jack Blades of Night Ranger, the trio scored a smash # 3 hit with the power ballad High Enough. Never one to limp off silently into the deep dark night, Nugent’s latest 2-CD/DVD, Ultralive Ballisticrock is a ferocious saber tooth slab of gonzo intensity, decisive proof to his fans that they’ll never have to fear that this elder statesman of rock will ever get mellow.
