    "comment": "Today is Genesis Breyer P-Orridge's birthday, born in Manchester in 1950.\n\nBorn Neil Andrew Megson, the visual, musical and performance artist whose work with Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV gave rise to the industrial and acid house genres, died in 2020 at age 70, after being diagnosed with leukemia two-and-a-half years before his death. P-Orridge never meant to engender industrial music, the genre with which they are most closely associated. With their collaborators in the avant-garde arts collective COUM Transmissions and its house band Throbbing Gristle, they clawed away at music as they knew it; what came to be known as industrial was simply what was left. The English musician, artist and social provocateur saw destruction as a means to creation, and took everything from noise to language to their own body, which they modified extensively before and during their gender transition, as raw material for reordering the world.\n https://www.npr.org/2020/03/15/816088912/genesis-breyer-p-orridge-provocateur-and-industrial-co-creator-dead-at-70",
