TED NUGENT "CAT SCRATCH FEVER" LIVE ON 'MIDNIGHT SPECIAL' . . . . AH YES, THE MOTOR CITY MADMAN, STAUNCH ADVOCATE OF GUN CONTROL AND BIG HAIR AFICIONADO . . . . WHEN IT CAME TO GUITAR SLINGIN, COON-TAIL FLASHIN, HEADBAND WEARIN, BOUFFANT BLOWIN, BOOGIE BASHIN BADNESS, TED WAS THE KING . . . . WITH FUCK-ALL MAINSTREAM RADIO SUPPORT HE WAS PULLIN THE BIGGEST CROWDS IN THE ROCK+ROLL CIRCUS AT HIS PEAK.

SILLY SONG TITLE ENTHUSIAST PAR EXCELLENCE, POOR OLD TED NEVER SAW THE PUNK BEHEMOTH COMING AND BY THE END OF THE SEVENTIES, LIKE SO MANY OF HIS BIG HAIRED, BIG FLARED, SATIN CLAD, DINOSAUR KIN, HE'D BEEN RENDERED ALL BUT OBSOLETE . . . . STILL, I'VE ALWAYS HAD A WARM GUN IN MY TROUSERS FOR THE DETROIT ROCKER WITH A PENCHANT FOR ANIMAL PELTS AND FIREARMS.
