Ted Nugent: Rock, guns and poontang

Uncle Ted the poon hound is alive and well, unlike some of his peers

In my last post, I covered some of the 80s action stars I grew up with in my teens. But there’s one guy that should have been included: Ted Nugent. Oh sure, Nugent wasn’t a movie star or a wrestler, but in his prime, he was a high-energy rocker and one of the rock gods of the 1970s and 80s.

Ted Nugent and Fred Bear

Ted is famous for hits like “Fred Bear,” “Crave" and of course: “Wang Dang Sweet Poontang”. Ted’s music has always been rooted in the blues, but blown up, sped up, and rocking hard and consistently over the years. He wasn’t just a solo artist, he was also in the 80s band The Damned Yankees.
