“Ted’s a jerk”. I suppose that’s one way to describe a sadistic killer of animals, one who also refers to foreigners as “scum”, and who says that women who refuse to defend themselves with guns deserve to be raped.

Ted’s a jerk, but that custody arrangement is the same kind that I did with my ex-spouse (children stay at one house, parents alternate living with them) for four years. It’s tough, especially as you still need to maintain a relationship with your irritatingly inept ex-partner and her habit of never changing burned-out lightbulbs and putting the toilet-paper roll on the wrong way.

Of course, having to continue that relationship in some sort of civil way may also be a good thing for the kids.

Didn’t look much further, but here’s an interview with Ted where he described it.

Ha! Hopefully Ted will not survive Nugent. Give him back that chainsaw, quick! Speaking of “custody arrangements” I have heard that at one time Ted had himself declared the “legal guardian” of one of his underage groupies. This goes way back. I will ask the person I heard that from what he knows, if anything. In case you have missed this collection, and just for your own entertainment and possible edification, and considering that this info was archived by PETA, here are some statements that are purported to be made by the Motor-Mouthed Mad Man over the years. The source is claimed to be the Detroit Free Press in most cases so checking with them is advised if possible.

I agree about that custody arrangement, that it says something good about Ted Nugent. It came to mind when I heard a radio interview with him a couple of weeks ago, though it wasn’t mentioned.

As for an “authoritative” account, there’s this interview with Ted Nugent, cited as having taken place 2/24/1988 in Houston where Ted Nugent opened for Kiss at the Summit:

He says: “I wrote the divorce agreement and it was accepted in West Palm Beach. It stated the children would keep the 1400 acre farm in Michigan. The mother could stay and visit for a month while I was on tour. When I came back she would leave so there wouldn’t be this vicious routine of bouncing the children from environment to environment. The children could retain a consistent habitat. If the parents couldn’t get along then they should be the ones who should rotate. It was a wonderful concept—-I think it should be a law.”

Hope this helps.
