How is Danzig's assessment wrong? Oh, that's right, you can't argue against it so you just call him old? No shit he's old, Bob, the man's a rock legend and arguably a pioneer with a slew of memorable releases over the course of several decades. That doesn't mean he's incorrect. We're living in a world where a game show contestant is getting scrutinized for holding up three fingers and having to apologize. Of course the Ramones or the Misfits couldn't have come around in this day and age. You'd part of the mob trying to cancel Johnny Ramone and Glenn Danzig for their unabashed Conservative view points let alone their musical content. Lord knows your troon angels would shriek at "Last Caress," "Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World," "Die, Die My Darling," or "Bad Brain." The only reason you fuckers don't is because you all are too obsessed with what is happening right now to go Red Guard style and burn the past completely.
What Bobby boy and others don't seem tp get is that there is a reason Danzig and old school rock n rollers and rappers come down hard against modern cancel culture, and its not because they're old.
It's that at heart, they are rebels against authority, counter culture, they thrive when picking fights and speaking truth to power.
Despite the lefty fetishization of a persecution complex, there is a reason they desperately brand themselves as "the resistance": Because I think all of them realize that if they're on the same side as Wall Street, Walt Disney and CNN, they're not the rebels, they're the Empire.
For the first time in living memory in the states, Counter Culture is conservatism.
Which brings us back to our 40 Year Old Consoomer. Compared to other lefties, I don't think that glaring contradiction bugs him at all. That he is on the same side as Wall Street, K Steeet and Hollywood confirms he is "on the right side"... because Bob isn't even a bully, he's the bully's lapdpg and hypeman. He'll side with whomever is in power and makes his consoomer crap.
