> P-Orridge’s genius didn’t lie in her artistic skills, but rather in her ability to manipulate others
It's true. His now her talent in any musical configuration was always adding a non-musical element. I would liken him now her to a hype man, like Flava Flav, but one that has traveled through and beyond a permanently state of drug induced psychosis to land on some distant shore, mysterious, disturbing, pointless, raw, Dionysian in the Paglian sense (not necessarily in the sense of N).
I love GP because sheitwhat proves that the absolutely psychologically depraved can find a place in this world, can be of value, too. It's an important and reassuring lesson.
