I have a pretty vivid recurring dream where I’m a music journalist and get to interview Glenn Danzig. Danzig, it should be noted, is not too keen on discussing his Misfits days and feels that he’s advanced musically since.

Anyway, in the dream, we have a long conversation about his current musical endeavors, and we talk a lot about his middle period (I have a big, weird soft spot for Danzig II) and then I let him talk about his “classical industrial” stuff and comic books until I’ve got him sufficiently buttered up. Then, miraculously, I manage to ask him what “138” alludes to in this Misfits classic and he actually tells me.

Only… every time I wake up, I never remember the phrasing of the question, or his answer. I just remember that I’d gotten it out of him, somehow.

So I guess that makes it a nightmare.
