The Motor City Madman sits in the CNN Red Chair to explain just exactly why he's better than you.

Motor City Madman Ted Nugent was in the hot seat this week when he sat down with CNN for a “Red Chair Interview” where he revealed why he never wanted to be a rock star and more. How did he avoid doing drugs all these years? “The same way I avoided the temptation to stab myself in the eye with an ice pick,” Nugent says. “I’m just more in to working hard, playing hard, making great music and going hunting.”

A softer side was also revealed when he talked about his parents’ steady support throughout his career, and what it’s like to be a grandpa. “I’m like Mr. Rogers with a machine gun,” shared Nugent.
