One Texas town has decided Ted Nugent isn't the right act for its Fourth of July concert this year -- even if it means paying him a hefty fee not to play.
He's managed to successfully fight off cat scratch fever for decades, but not even the mighty Ted Nugent is completely invulnerable -- in fact, ol' Uncle Ted recently had to have his knees replaced.
Ted Nugent remains one of the most complicated, polarizing figures in rock. He apologized for calling President Barack Obama a "subhuman mongrel," even while denying that the term was racist.

Shemane Nugent, the 51-year-old wife of rocker Ted Nugent, says she forgot about the loaded revolver in her luggage as she attempted to get through security at the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport on Aug. 29. She said she was carrying the gun for protection because she had received death threats.
