Pink gives 8 f***s and a c*** to New York airwaves!
Listeners to WBAI Radio were treated to a sensual shock this past Saturday
when Pink, reverting to his bad boy ways, disregarded FCC rules on regulated
speech and during an ambient poetry piece uttered the accursed F-word a record
eight times, and then topped it off with an oh-so-politically incorrect C-word.
The exchange took place during a live Imperial Orgy performance on Frederick
Geobold's Light Show. An Orgy spokesman defended the performance afterwards,
"Neither Pink nor The Orgy believe in using shock tactics just to get attention.
The language was actually used in a beautiful erotic poem. And I know the
sentiments behind them were sincere and had personal meaning for Caeser."

While most of the group's on air presentation featured friendly acoustic
tribal-pop, the language in question occurred in the climax of an extended piece
which was musically based on Stravinsky's iconoclastic ballet "The Rite of Spring."
The poem was actually a pagan ceremonial ritual which called on the
universal sexual archetypes to possess the bodies of the male and
female and come together in a union of opposites representing the
creative power inherent in all of nature.

The poem began with a chorus of female Orgy members chanting a mysterious old
world prayer, followed by a passionate dialogue between male and female voices
representing the sexual archetypes. The female portions of the dialogue were written by
an Indian poet and were inspired by the erotic letters of authors Henry Miller and
Anais Nin.

The Imperial Orgy's continuing collaboration with WBAI took a turn for
the surreal when they worked worked the campy pop icon 'Grandpa Munster'
Al Lewis for Gary Wagner's radio drama of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.
