Damn Yankees was a Rock “Super Group” in the early 90′s.

It featured Ted Nugent, Tommy Shaw from Styx, and Jack Blades from Night Ranger (Sister Christian, oh the time has come…).

Their one big hit was High Enough, where they are imploring you to take them high enough to fly over yesterday, for some reason. How a band that featured that enormous amount of talent could produce only one major hit is beyond me, but alas, that’s usually the fate of the Super Group (see Temple of the Dog for more proof).

Anyway, as you may or may not know, Ted Nugent loves guns and hates hippies and drug use (my kind of guy).

During the 90′s when he toured with Damn Yankees (which also coincided with Desert Storm), part of the act included him shooting a flaming arrow at an effigy of Saddam Hussein. Sure he was arrested a few times for the stunt, but the crowds loved it.
