Guitarist Ted Nugent Passion Music and Barbeque Rib America Festival Cat Scratch Fever

Eminent guitarist Ted Nugent is scheduled to perform at the Rib America Festival on Sunday. The artist himself has said that he will take part in it for some main reasons. He made his debut show in 1967 in Indianapolis and hence it would be a sort of homecoming for him. This is going to be his last performance in 2008.

Apart from that he is fond of barbecue and the festival promises plenty of it. The guitarist has expressed his love for music over and again. Nugent shot into the limelight in the 1960s when he started dabbling with psychedelic rock with Amboy Dukes. They hit the bull’s eye with the hit single named ‘Cat Scratch Fever’. That was in the 1970s. In the 1990s he was seen collaborating with Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw in the group ‘Damn Yankees’.

The guitarist has got success in his illustrious career. Now, life has come full circle for him. His passion for shooting has also made him famous to an extent. His famous ‘’Spirit of the Wild" TV show and the cookbook named ‘"Kill It & Grill It" says it all. These have also created some amount of controversies. However, he seems to be unperturbed about the opposing views and maintains that the number of the viewers seeing his shows is only going up with time.

He is passionate about barbecue. The food vendors attending the festival are sure to grab his attention. He always makes sure that every component associated with grilling, including the meat and the charcoals are of the highest quality. He also gets full co operation from the fellow outdoor enthusiasts.

The people who will attend the 4 day long Rib America Festival, delicacies like pulled-pork sandwiches and racks of ribs will be there. Nugent likes the idea of tasting pork samples from the Rib America vendors, but he is fond of hunting wild boar for quality meat. He thinks that the meat of wild boar contains a certain flavor because of its eating wild fruits and nuts. Eating meat after roasting it on fire is the ancient tradition started by the ancestors of humans, he feels.
