Genesis P-Orridge Rates Action Bronson, Los Angeles, and Circumcision

(drum solo)

Oh, overrated beyond any measurement possible

in any galaxy.

One of the most obnoxious, vile creatures

we've ever seen on a television.

And one thing we cannot stand is noisy eaters.

And noisy eaters with a beard

is just about the worst thing on the planet.

And the idea of wanting to watch him

with his fanny mouth chomping away

on a revolting food,

and blathering about how it's delicious,

is one of my pet hates.

Fuck you, Action Bronson.

(drum roll)

Day drinking (laughing)

that immediately tends to be

neither overrated or underrated.

My first memory of that

is talking to William Burroughs

in Kansas, in Lawrence, Kansas,

and we were talking about how we just spent a few days

with Brion Gysin in Paris,

and how Brion was pretty drunk by 11 in the morning.

And William went, what do you mean 11 in the morning?

And we said what's wrong?

He was really upset.

He said, Brion aways told me,

you should never have a drink until after 1 in the afternoon

he said I never have, since he said that to me.

And he's drinking in the morning?

He was outraged (laughing)

and he dived into the other room

to phone number Brion

and harangue 'em about the fact

that he lied for years about this, day drinking.

(drum roll)

(sigh) Pass

(drum roll)

(laughing) Well Los Angeles,

we would normally say Los Angeles is overrated,

because it's always had a dark underbelly to me.

We've had some very negative experiences there.

And we nearly died in the fire in Laurel Canyon,

in L.A.

We were working with Love and Rockets in

Harry Houdini's old mansion.

And during the night, the house,

well about six in the morning,

the house caught fire.

And myself and David Jay

were trapped at the top of the house.

And he got out somehow, out of the window, okay.

And then we suddenly thought,

oh all the master tapes that we've been working on,

for the new album are in this room.

So we wrapped them up in blankets

and chucked them out of the window to save them.

And then we realized, his homemade guitar

that he made at school was in the room,

Big Woody, so we wrapped that up and threw it to 'em.

And then we saw that the door of the room was melting.

And so we climbed out,

but the window ledge was sloping,

and it had all this dust on it.

And it was like one of those cartoons

where the cat would (scratching)

so we were like ah ah ah ah.

So we grabbed this tree that we saw,

but it was dead, it snapped, we went,

oh shit, and landed on concrete steps.

And broke that wrist,

it shattered this elbow joint into 36 pieces

exploded it,

and we still got dead nerve damage here.

And it broke these ribs.

And then the next day we had a pulmonary embolism,

as a side effect of the surgery.

And clinically died,

so, that's just one example.

A lot of weird things have happened to me in L.A.

It's as if the whole city is

is it's really a set.

And when it's not being filled with scripts,

it sucks in energy from anywhere

regardless of whether it's dark or positive.

So we're wary of L.A.

(drum roll)

Well Jon Waters,

we'd have to say underrated,

just because he could never be overrated.

We met him once in person,

at a very chic party.

Rich collectors in the art world,

and myself and Lady Jay went both dressed the same.

And we're standing there,

feeling a little out of place,

and then in came Jon Waters,

and he saw me and Jay and he just came straight over,

and we smiled, and he saw my gold teeth,

and he said, can I lick your teeth Genesis?

And we said, yes of course?

And so he just stuck his tongue in my mouth

and licked my teeth.

That's how we met Jon Waters.

That's style.

(drum roll)

Does that feel underrated or overrated?

We can tell you it's an abomination.

How dare they?

We're still baffled, that in the United States,

people just assume that male babies will be circumcised.

Why, to what end?

You know, all the Victorian fakery that said

it was clean and healthy is just proven B.S.

Because all of Europe is fine keeping 'em.

So, there's only one advantage to circumcision.

And this is only a guess,

and that is, because the foreskin is missing,

the end of the penis becomes desensitized

through be rubbed on clothes.

And therefore, you're less likely

to have premature ejaculation.

But when you do ejaculate, it's not as intense.

So the balance is, do you want to last longer,

or feel more?

(drum roll)

Could never be rated enough.

Ketamine-a-ket.

My favorite psychedelic of all time.

Myself and Lady Jay must have done

easily two or three thousand trips on ketamine together.

Liquid ketamine.

Learn your chemistry, when you get a liquid

and you heat it, and it turns into a crystal,

it's changed it's atomic structure.

It is no longer the same thing.

You know we believe all psychedelics have a spirit,

and ketamine seems to have an androgynous spirit.

John Lily, after using it for a long time,

started to try and have breasts.

The person who introduced us to it,

Timothy Wiley, also developed a female persona

and myself and Lady Jay really developed androgyny,

amplified through ketamine journeys.

So there is some interestingly hermaphroditic spirit

connected to ketamine.

And here's the result.
