Punk luminary, and certified scary guy with a spooky book collection, Glenn Danzig has had it up to here with your “woke bullshit.” Joining the ranks of Slayer’s Tom Araya and the guy who created Entourage, Danzig is the latest to say that the work he made decades ago could not have come out today. Perhaps forgetting that culture changes, and, yes, there are still plenty of sexist, offensive songs, Danzig told Rolling Stone that he finds it hard to believe that anyone would allow him to record songs like “Last Caress” today because of, you know, the lyrics about raping mothers and killing babies. Curiously, he didn’t comment on the lyrics to “Return Of The Fly,” which includes verses about the film Return Of The Fly with Vincent Price.
