i’ve said this before, and i’ll say it again… i hate talking politics. i honestly do – but i do want to clarify where i stand as a human being – not JUST a democrat.

i lean to the left…

• i am progressive
• i am anti-religion (but i can assure you, i wouldn’t try to talk you out of yours)
• i am a supporter of all freedoms (aside from guns – here in the 5 boroughs anyway – and DEFINITELY against automatic weapons. i’m from NYC not bumfuck kansas with a rural farm to protect from uh… something. intruders? aliens causing crop circles? lol)
• i am a supporter and a member of the LGBTQ+ community
• i believe in gay marriage
• i believe in gay adoption (they’re better parents than half the hetero GOONS that have a weak pullout game… my parents included)
• i believe in equality
• i believe in if you work hard – you deserve to live well and not struggle (I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE MARXIST VIEW OF OWNING WHAT YOU WORK FOR, for the record)
• i believe that healthcare shouldn’t be tied to your job and i believe that it shouldn’t cost what it does
• i believe in science
• i believe in the right to safe, normal abortions
• i believe that black people deserve more and that unarmed black people don’t deserve to get killed by racist ass police

…etc. you get the gist.

what brought this on, is that i was just wondering how michale graves was doing in life.  if you’re unaware who m. graves is, he was the lead singer of the 90s, reformed misfits many years after the misfits broke up when danzig left.  i LOVE graves era misfits.  i constantly defend it, and still enjoy it regularly.  anyways, i googled him and came across recent media and started watching this video, and got so embarrassed for him, disgusted and i just want to clarify this again for whoever lands here… leaning to the right or not.

so either the ny rangers twitter or one of the fan-powered twitter accounts posted about this recently, and i haven’t thought about this song in years! but it re-warms my heart because it’s two of my favorite things EVER, joined together…  it’s almost as good as hearing the bouncing souls “ole” during my first ranger game as an adult… (i was on a hockey hiatus for years.)

long story short (in case you didn’t feel like reading through the wikipedia page), the misfits took over this fun/fast hockey song because the ramones had retired. it was a spin-off of “airborne ranger”, intended to play at ranger games at madison square garden to get the crowd pumped.  the song was rejected because the word “danger” was in it. UH HELLO, small children can watch players pound each others faces but not hear the word “danger”? that’s ridiculous…

hearing this song again just made me super happy and i wish it did in fact play at the garden, because i LOVE michale grave’s voice. i wish it’d fill up my favorite arena<3

this leads me to thinking about all the “new” misfits haters that i’m sure twitch at the thought of the song…

that shit drives me crazy. i mean, i get that it isn’t glenn danzig singing (get over it, he moved on from the misfits himself, people…), but it’s still really good. grave’s voice is amazing and it’s simply geared more towards metal than punk rock…  it’s horror, it’s fun and it was a new start for them and jerry only wanted to keep the misfits going… i love the fact that there’s old and new misfits. (i just realized that i haven’t listened to anything past the 1950’s project.) now if jerry only wasn’t such a prick, it’d be awesome if they’d reunite with danzig AND graves… my life would then be complete.

i wonder what danzig thinks of graves… #mustgoogle

oh, i forgot to mention the fact that my amazing boyfriend took me to see danzig last month! homie performed danzig, samhain AND misfits WITH DOYLE IN TOW. it was #best.

so i’ve seen the misfits 93798373987 times and now i’ve seen danzig perform the misfits… so it’s kinda like i have seen the misfits, lol. (well, aside from an original drummer)…  i even got to see graves perform helena with them during one of the halloween shows the misfits played years ago at “the world” in times square (2002). it leaves me a very happy fiend camper.
