Sam McPheeters, who composed the lyric that I used for my high school yearbook quote (it was from Born Against’s “Albany Academy” because, c’mon, HOW HARD), interviews Glenn Danzig:
Here’s a question I’ve always had. Have you heard of Jerusalem syndrome? That’s the thing where normal tourists go to the Holy Land, freak out, and convince themselves they’re John the Baptist or Jesus.
I’ve never heard of that.It’s a recognized psychological phenomenon.
I’ve never heard of it.I guess it’s not that well known. I didn’t make it up, though.
All right. ’Cause I read a lot.Well, I’m wondering if there is a Danzig syndrome? Do you have a thing where your persona or physical presence inspires people to flip out?
I don’t know, you’d have to ask them.
I think I have McPheeters Syndrome.
Also, Glenn Danzig has unsound views on the treatment of cancer. Which is strange, because you’d expect the legendary singer of the Misfits to have greater medical expertise.
