I decided today that I'd trying calling in to AT&T to pay my phone bill, and was placed on hold for about ten minutes while waiting to talk with a human being. Once on hold, I switched my cell to speaker phone so I'd be able to work on other stuff. Shortly thereafter, I realized the song playing was a weird digital brass-section version of Eric Clapton's If I Saw You In Heaven. I strangely found myself singing out loud. What a great song, right? It got me thinking of some of the iconic tunes of yesteryear, and I couldn't help but think of Danzig's Mother. Once, while on a road trip to New York, my brother and I bought a cassette tape (in Bismark, North Dakota) of a live Danzig concert and this was the only song we both knew all of the words to. We played it I think about ten times in a row at one point, yelling "Mother" and pounding our fists in the air harder each time. I decided to pull up an interview from what looks like the early 1980s of Glen Danzig himself. Hope you like it. He's actually quite eloquent-sounding at times.
