And Without Regard to his Career
And Without Fear of Criticism
Appears on the National Stage to Discuss
His Pride in Being A True American
And an Absolute Defender of Our Freedoms
Wherever He Goes.

Him Among Them Just As We Are Proud
To Have His Voice Echo Our Thoughts and Beliefs In Our Freedoms
Granted By The U.S. Constitution and The Bill Of Rights.”

About Ted Nugent
The incomparable guitar genius and fire-breathing intensity of TED NUGENT have carved him a permanent place among the legends of rock. The guitarist's prodigious talents, ear-shattering volume & over-the-top onstage antics quickly earned Young Ted the moniker of "Motor City Madman" along with international acclaim. Recognized as the world's leading guitar showman, NUGENT's no-holds-barred career spans five decades of multi-platinum sales exceeding 35 million albums. From the ground breaking Amboy Dukes' "Journey to the Center of the Mind," to classics like "Stranglehold" and "Cat Scratch Fever," Damn Yankees chartbusters like "High Enough," cult classic "Fred Bear," and his most recent studio album–and 35th overall–Love Grenade, TED NUGENT's rapid-fire sonic assaults continue to sell out venues around the globe. TED has a popular weekly column in the Waco Tribune (http://www.wacotrib.com/news/content/news/opinion/stories/2009/05/03/05032009wacnugent.html) and recently released TED, WHITE, AND BLUE: THE NUGENT MANIFESTO, which reached #8 on the New York Times bestseller list. This marks the fiercely independent rock legend’s second time charting on the New York Times bestseller list, a spot he achieved with God, Guns, and Rock 'n' Roll (2000). TED’s other successful books include: Blood Trails: The Truth About Bowhunting, Blood Trails II and the aforementioned Kill It and Grill It.
