TED NUGENT Ted Nugent made a name for himself rocking power ballads about bagging chicks with such nuanced lyrics as “she’s so sweet when she yanks on my meat,” but he’s better known now as a court jester for the 24-hour news networks. In recent years, he’s done everything from implying that he’d like to kill the president to condoning the use of violent force against peaceful protesters. It’s been so long since he had a hit, we can’t really remember if his music is any good, but we’re pretty sure his ridiculous persona, raging ego and inability to think before speaking will make for good entertainment. Opening for Styx and REO Speedwagon. $20-$90. Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre.
