Five decades and 30 million album sales later, multi-platinum rocker Ted Nugent brings his Great White Buffalo tour to Phoenix, along with his political and cultural commentary.

WACO, Texas - Ted Nugent has denied reports that he made offensive remarks about non-English speakers during his performance at Gov. Rick Perry's inaugural ball.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Ted Nugent says Gov. Rod Blagojevich is more than welcome to visit him backstage before his Aug. 11 performance at the Illinois State Fair.

Now that President Obama’s reelection has been finalized by his inauguration, has Ted Nugent relocated out of the country yet?

DETROIT - They were shot with paintballs, slept in a barn, constructed their own outhouse and skinned a Russian boar. Is all of this worth $25,000 and a truck?

The Nuge. Motor City Madman. Uncle Ted. Whatever you call him, Ted Nugent’s sonic assaults via the Gibson Byrdland guitar, over-the-top onstage antics and firebreathing lyrics in classics like “Stranglehold” earned him a reputation as a manic guitar slinger and one of rock’s most ferocious figures. These days, the musician is as well known as an avid outdoorsman with his own hunting, fishing, trapping and shooting show on the Outdoor Channel, radio show host, political conservative and author of three books: “Kill It and Grill It,” “God, Guns, & Rock ‘N’ Roll” and “Ted, White, And Blue: The Nugent Manifesto.”

DETROIT - Michigan rocker Ted Nugent filed a lawsuit in federal court, claiming organizers who canceled a June performance wrongly accused him of making racist comments.

AUSTIN, Texas - Hours after Gov. Rick Perry kicked off his second full term in office, Ted Nugent helped him celebrate at a black-tie gala, but not all attendees were pleased by the rocker's performance.

“According to Rep. Terri Proud, R-Tucson, poor women who are without money and are pregnant, better not expect help from any religious group. More than likely she is against Planned Parenthood too. Wake up Terri, you are losing the votes from women.”

“To the person who stated that negative comments about President Obama shouldn’t be printed in the Vent. Apparently you have forgotten how Democrats, far left liberals, and the liberal press treated President Bush. He was the butt of rude and demeaning jokes by so-called comedians, called lots of horrible names by the press, and verbally attacked by liberal talk show hosts. He, too, deserved respect just because he was the President of the United States. It is no wonder young people today have a problem respecting authority. Look at the examples set for them.”

Jack Black dials back his usual smug, over-the-top, comedic performance style to portray an effeminate killer and community pillar in the new dark comedy and character study, "Bernie", which is based on a true story of the controversial murder of a wealthy widow in the east Texas town of Carthage.

DETROIT - Motown fans miffed by the NFL's choice of the Rolling Stones for Super Bowl halftime entertainment are getting at least some satisfaction: Stevie Wonder will perform during the pre-game show at Ford Field.

Camp Jam, provider of rock music camps and educational rock 'n' roll music programs, is accepting discounted early registrations for its Summer 2011 camp series.

 NASHVILLE, Tenn. - One could only imagine the pickin' party they could have thrown on the back lot of Toby Keith's new movie, "Beer for My Horses."

The most enduring memory I have of time with my father is from a Monday night in March 1976. Both my father and I grew up in Indiana so we naturally were crazy for basketball, and Indiana University cream and crimson ran through our veins.

Considering Alice Cooper's legacy for onstage theatrics, it's not surprising that the rocker has a fondness for pop sensation Lady Gaga and her anything-goes concert production.

PHOENIX - For all the envelope-pushing Alice Cooper did as a shock rocker, he also knows the good of boundaries, especially for kids.
