Ted Nugent (born December 13, 1948) aka the Nuge, "the Motor City Madman'", and most recently "Uncle Ted" is a guitarist from Detroit, Michigan, originally gaining fame as a member of the Amboy Dukes, and recently gaining fame (and notoriety) for his support for hunting and conservative political views.
The Amboy Dukes' second single was "Journey to the Center of the Mind", which Nugent, an ardent anti-drug campaigner, claimed he didn't know was about drug use.
The Amboy Dukes (1967), Journey to the Center of the Mind (1968) and Migration (1969) sold moderately well, establishing a fan base for Nugent and the other Amboy Dukes.

 CMT.com : Ted Nugent/Amboy Dukes : Biography
The group's roots date to 1965, a period when a teenage Nugent was living in Chicago; there he formed the first incarnation of the Amboy Dukes, borrowing the moniker from a recently-disbanded Detroit band who themselves took the name from an infamous explotiation novel of the period.
Still, when the Amboy Dukes' self-titled debut LP appeared on the Mainstream label in 1967, it was the group's originals that became the focus -- while Nugent handled the music, Farmer penned the drug-fixated lyrics, adding a psychedelic sensibility to an otherwise proto-metal sound.
After recording a handful of albums as Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes, he finally dropped the group's name altogether and mounted a solo career.
