My Dad's the Nuge!

What if you woke up one day to learn that your biological father is Ted Nugent? That's what happened to a 42-year-old Brooklyn man. Ted Mann, who was adopted as a baby, got a call last October from a sister he never knew he had. His reaction to the New York Daily News was priceless. "I'm like, 'What!?'" he said. "It took me a little while to kind of breathe normal again - and not just sit in my house staring at YouTube videos of him running around like a crazy person."

Does Nugent do anything that doesn't involve running around like a crazy person? Here's the true inspiration for Spinal Tap, the video for "Wango Tango."



Well, this story has a happy ending. Mann says Nugent's first words to him were "Hello, son." And before long, Nugent said "Let's go shoot some guns." That's more like the Nuge we know and love.

Read the full story here.
