Summing up the iconic life of dear friend and legendary provocateur Genesis Breyer P-Orridge would be a daunting task in ordinary times. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and the recent death of my beloved father, it feels herculean. My grief over he/r passing on March 14, 2020, weeks after he/r seventieth birthday, was magnified by my inability to attend her eco-funeral due to coronavirus-related concerns. In the wilds of an Upstate New York hippy-dippy plot of land that allowed for such burials, s/he was to be finally reunited with her late wife Lady Jaye (née Jacqueline Breyer) in body and soul. In my place, I sent a double-headed Yoruba Shango staff that Gen had given me, and which had belonged to Jaye, who — in addition to being a nurse, dominatrix, and performance artist — was a Santeria practitioner.
