YROTD: Glenn has no friends

Yelp said it, not me.

Glenn is, of course, Glenn Danzig, and while he still hasn't really lived down the Fun Fun Fun fest debacle, he has decided to rate businesses in his community by posting on Yelp. YROTD stands for "Yelp Review of the Day," and Glenn's are exactly that. They are of the day! But are they really...Glenn? Maybe. And should the Yelp profile stay up? I say yes.

While it is well-documented that Glenn lives in a million dollar home once owned by Lucielle Ball in L.A.'s posh Chevoit Hills section (with cats!), many of the reviews are of Austin spots. Which is weird, right? Glenn's name in Austin is practically still a dirty word. Or should I say, Glenn's brand is still tarnished from his well-documented bad behavior during Fun Fun Fun fest, and this could be exactly the thing that would make him welcome here again: Useful, funny, and cool reviews of places that offer karaoke nights and coffee drinks.

I first spotted Glenn's http://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=NrGQYD8eANYn3JWsdzFJQg earlier today in Austin Yelp's Talk section. By day's end, the story broke on MetalSucks.net. MetalSucks suggests the profile will be gone soon due to Glenn's active pack of lawyers, but here's hoping it stays up as a tribute, and as a service to those who use Yelp. Glenn's reviews are being very well-rated as "useful," "funny" and/or "cool" by his fellow Yelpers, and that matters in the corporate sense; Yelp corporate loves five-star reviews, and most of Glenn's reviews are on the glowing side. Don't all those businesses deserve to have their positive, useful, funny, cool reviews stay up?

It is probably just a total coincidence that Glenn's Yelp profile lists the Austin rock club Red 7 as one of his favorite sites - second favorite, exactly.
