Ted Nugent is a stalwart American hard rock singer, songwriter, and guitarist who is as divisive as he is legendary. Throughout his lengthy career, the Motor City Madman has reveled in the controversy and criticism that always seem to follow in his path – his pro-right-wing beliefs and pro-gun advocacy have caused condemnation from his detractors – but his wildman persona and knack for penning arena rock anthems made him one of the biggest rock stars of the late '70s and early '80s.
