Thus asked Ted Nugent in the midst of one of his live sets years ago, slowing the music down to a hush. “Yeah, man!” shouts one hapless soul in the audience, staring adoringly at his hero onstage.
“Well you can get the f*ck out of here then!…” screams The Nuge, as the band crank it up again and he launches into “Wang Dang Sweet Poontang”. Heady stuff, indeed.
You may also remember Ted’s charmingly manly penchant for hunting down his own food with a crossbow and that he had some rather, um, controversial views on criminals:
“Remember the Alamo! Shoot ‘em! To show you how radical I am, I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want ‘em dead. Get a gun and when they attack you, shoot ‘em.”

So you will share my surprise, nay disappointment at the news that Uncle Ted is to sue his insurers for emotional distress, as well as loss of property value and other damages in their response to water damage to his house and barn in 2003.
Emotional distress? For water damage? Come on, Ted, grow old disgracefully, as befits an old rocker. Suing your insurers is not really up there with shooting carjackers, or hunting black bears with a crossbow, is it?
