> *** Ain't Psycick T.V. the act of Genesis P. Orridge, founder of Throbbing
> Gristle?

The thing people need to remember about Genesis P.O is that he is a
media personality, and not a musician. He is good for interviews about
concentration camp psychology, why fluxus sucks, Crowley related ritual
Magick, and William Seward Burroughs, just do not ask the guy to write a
tune. He was a performance artist, not a musician. TG was Genesis
applying the gallery performance art of Coum Transmissions into a rock
context. 

Most people do not realize that the brains behind Throbbing Gristle were
really Chris Carter, and to a lesser extent Sleazy P. That is why there
never has really been a true GPO solo record, he isn't a musician. When
you listen to newer Psychic TV you are really listening to younger Fred
Gianelli. From what Fred has posted to this list, he does not feel that
he was treated very well, and felt cheated by the whole process. He did
not get much fame or money, as Genesis took most of both... 

...I could go on longer, Craig Taborn goes on in 6 hours and 35 minutes,
I better hit the hay... 

Take care,
Mike
