I would agree on the screw loose, but I love his various flavors of verbiage. He has all these ways of saying things that are very colorful, and I first saw that on SuperGroup. He does love his hunting, and I wonder if it's just because he loves to cook the meat.

As far as a musician, I saw him a while back. He wails on the guitar and is a madman on stage, but he's got derek doing all the singing, except where he pops in for a few lines of Stranglehold or something. I think it's more of an attention thing than anything. He seems to love his attention, and a friend of mine said she read that he actually stopped a guy out in the desert or something, who was pulled over on the side of the road, and accosted him for wearing a Ted Nugent T-shirt. Made him take it off claiming "copyright infringement." Don't know the truth to that one, but we're back to the loose screw again.

In SuperGroup he woke the guys up early one morning with loud guitar, and one of the other guy was angry about it. Ted referred to his waking hours as 'militant,' which I thought a little weird since he had gone and lived in the hills by himself to avoid the draft. That's hardly anything to do with the military.

Also he was a terrible husband and cheater for most of his career. Now he's settled down with a woman who apparently keeps him in line. That's not to say he's not a good dad; he very protective of his girls and seems to have a great relationship with them. I suspect most of their raising was done by mom though.
