In a well-known deleted scene from the 1994 film Pulp Fiction, Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman) and Vincent Vega (John Travolta) have a discussion about Elvis and The Beatles. "Beatles people can like Elvis" Mia explains "and Elvis people can like The Beatles, but nobody likes them both equally." Surprising no one, Vincent is an Elvis man. Glenn Danzig, co-founder of seminal East Coast horror punk band The Misfits - and recently director of his first feature film Verotika, based on his line of adult oriented comics of the same name - is also unsurprisingly an Elvis man, having long been known by the potentially self-assigned nickname "the evil Elvis". Now, as the title of his latest record promises: DANZIG Sings ELVIS.
