"I get thee top bunk...."

According to this article in Radar, Genesis P-Orridge, agent provocateur of Psychic TV and Thobbing Gristle, escaped the UK and:

wound up crashing, oddly, with a young Winona Ryder and her parents—because the authorities back home, while declining to charge him with a crime, had warned that they couldn't guarantee his safety or that of his family if he returned to London

Of all the weird things I know about Genesis P-Orridge, this little detail seems one of the weirdest. What were Winona Ryder's parents into, I wonder?

Also it said that he broke his arm escaping by jumping out of a window to escape a fire at Rick Rubin's house. Please, I hope that it implies he was working on a Rubin-esque cover album ala the Johnny Cash ones. Genesis P-Orridge has a particular if peculiar talent for cover songs (see "Good Vibrations" (youTube, no video), so this could be rather brilliant.

I couldn't find footage of them doing a rather stirring version of Neil Young's "Only Love Will Break your Heart" that I know exists out there, but here is my favorite Psychic TV song, "Unclean" (video by acclaimed and notorious British filmmaker Derek Jarman)
