Ted Nugent introduces ‘Strangehold’ with a memorable riff, that is still known to rock fans today. Nugent, a contradiction of sorts, was more likely to have been found enjoying outdoor pursuits during the seventies, than drinking and taking drugs (the perceived norm for this decade of music stars). It is interesting that the song’s extended mid-section, in which Nugent solos, would be the perfect entertainment for hippies, in diametric opposition to its composer’s intentions.
