Glenn For President

I don't know why, but lately I can't stop thinking about Glenn Danzig. The other day I was listening to him in the car and realized that much as I have enjoyed his rad and scary tuneage lo these many years, the man himself remains a mystery. I knew the basics:

1. He is really into Elvis
2. He is really into Marilyn Monroe
3. He is really into skulls
4. He is little
5. He is angry
6. His likeness has inspired a line of action figures

What I did not know is that he is a native New Jersey-an, which proves my theory about New Jersey, namely that people who live there are almost always rad for some reason. Also, I did not know until recently that he had a guest spot on my new favorite show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Additionally I did not know that his real name was not Glenn Danzig. There are probably some other things I'm forgetting. The bottom line is that he basically rules and I sort of want to make friends with him. Even though I doubt he is into making friends per se.

As an aside, I was informed by none other than Tiny Gines that contrary to my belief, Glenn's band Samhain (pronounces "Sah-way" fools) was not his first musical venture, but rather a brief and shining pitstop betwixt the Misfits and Danzig. Man, did I feel crunchy when she told me this.

Speaking of Samhain, this song rules.

In lieu of becoming bosom buds with Glenn, I've decided that I will honor him by being him for Halloween. And maybe for St. Patrick's Day too.
