Although I always liked Stranglehold and Hey Baby, I have always thought Ted was a douchebag. Here is the story you were talking about regarding his draft dodging and also how he had his ex-wife's parents - she was then 17 - sign custody over to him as her legal guardian.

Ted Nugent is not only standing by his violent rhetoric regarding the president, he doubled down today, which is why the Secret Service will be paying him a visit Thursday. But for all his tough guy, gunslinging rhetoric, the real Theodore Anthony Nugent is, above all things, a rank coward and draft dodger. Do contain your shock…
Like the presidential candidate he has endorsed, Nugent managed to avoid service in Vietnam, employing both familiar rhetoric, and describing his clever plan, in a 2006 interview with the Rutland Herald out of Vermont back in 2006:
“… if I would have gone over there, I’d have been killed, or I’d have killed, or I’d kill all the hippies in the foxholes … I would have killed everybody,” he told the Detroit Free Press in an interview published July 15, 1990.
Fortunately, for our hero, Ted didn’t go to Vietnam.
And how Ted managed to avoid the draft makes President Bush look like a war hero.
In that 1990 interview with the Free Press and from information collected from the Chickenhawk Web site, Nugent told about how he avoided the draft: “He claims that 30 days before his Draft Board Physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last 10 days he ingested nothing but junk food and Pepsi, and a week before his physical, he stopped using the bathroom altogether, virtually living inside his pants caked with excrement and urine. That spectacle won Nugent a deferment.”
It says volumes about the character of a man who calls himself the Motor City Madman. The Detroit native went out of his way to avoid the defining experience of his generation, then has the gall to talk about how eagerly he would have killed, “if” he had served.
There’s plenty more Nugent hilarity in that article, including his priceless take on women. Wonder if Ann Romney has checked that out… (hat tip Robert Sobel, Orlando Examiner)
So the 63-year-old tough guy, who says he’ll be “dead or in jail” this time next year if President Obama is re-elected, wasn’t man enough to answer his country’s call during the Vietnam draft. That’s so Dick Cheney…
UPDATE: But wait, there’s more!
Ted the Family Guy
He has had two wives and has eight children, including three out of wedlock in two liaisons almost 30 years apart.
In the late 1960s, prior to his first marriage, Nugent fathered a boy, Ted (Mann) and a girl, whom he gave up for adoption in infancy. In 2005 Nugent was involved in a legal battle for not paying enough child support.
In 1978, Nugent began a relationship with seventeen-year-old Hawaii native Pele Massa. Due to the age difference they could not marry so Nugent joined Massa’s parents in signing documents to make himself her legal guardian, an arrangement that Spin magazine ranked in October 2000 as #63 on their list of the “100 Sleaziest Moments in Rock”
But of course, he’s an all around good American, and the arbiter of who is, and who isn’t, a patriot…

Ted Nugent: draft dodger (deadbeat dad and creepy ‘teen dater’ too) : The Reid Report
I can't find the links right now, but have also read interviews with one of his kids on how one of his VERY young "girlfriends" came to his house and all she wanted to do was play basketball with the kids but he wouldn't have any of that as he had other plans for her. There is also Courtney Love of all people claiming she blew Ted when she was 12 - take that one from the source...
