Ted Nugent: The Motor City Madman

Ted Nugent

Born the Motor City Madman, Nugent has subsequently assumed the mantle of The Motor City Hit Man as well. This is vintage Terrible Ted:  schooling a PBS nerd on the finer points of the Second Amendment, recidivism and self-reliance.

If you’re convinced that Chris Christie isn’t going to run, and are still trolling around for your 2012 Republican candidate for President, here’s your man:

Terrible Ted is 62 and has been touring every year since 1967. The 2008 video from the July 4 concert at the DTE Energy Music Theater (Pine Knob) was his 6,000th  concert. Get back to me, Nick Jonas, when you can match that.

PS: My lawyer would like me to mention that I’m not advocating unnecessary violence.
