The original Motor City Madman, Ted Nugent, achieved national superstardom following the release of his 1977 breakthrough, 'Cat Scratch Fever.' These days, however, Nugent is scratching a whole other itch. The diagnosis? Sarah Palin fever. While other celebrities have wasted no time proclaiming their distaste for her, the Nuge sent her an autographed copy of his new book, 'Ted, White & Blue,' along with an open letter of support.

"As a proud fellow American hunter, fisherman and lover of Alaska's soul cleansing magnificent Spirit of the Wild, we who live our American Dream by God, truth, logic, goodwill and decency, thank you for bringing such defiant common sense and self evident truth back to the GOP and politics," he writes. "We wish you Godspeed for the best hunting and fishing season of your life and pray to God almighty that you bring your bold spirit to the White House."

And we, at Spinner, who value entertainment, creative publicity and the Spirit of Rock 'n' Roll, would like to thank Uncle Ted for giving us three decades of lively water-cooler talk ... and for finally retiring the loin cloth.
