Do You like Orgy?

In continuing a trend of visiting teenage me from 1999 and onward, I’m revisiting one of my favorite bands. Of course, I was into Korn, and Nine Inch Nails, and Sonic Mayhem, and TOOL, but then there was Orgy. And in that respect, I’m no longer afraid to say that I had a huge crush on Jay Gordon, and I was also a very confused teenager. Hell, I’m STILL confused!

Keeping on-track with early-aged awakenings, I offer up this (I’m aware Marilyn Manson went down a path that sucks later in his career, and is guilty of some pretty heinous things, but we’re talking about 1999 for the moment):

Does this make you feel uncomfortable? No? It didn’t make me feel uncomfortable when I was 15, but that’s how it was designed.

I have a deep connection to music in my life, and there were times that I abandoned it. Multiple times.

But nearly everything I was obsessed with as as kid, a teenager, all have these emotional ties to them, things that took me years to understand … decades.

And I want to double-back to Orgy, because the band really doesn’t get enough credit. They’re, what you would probably call, criminally underrated. And they don’t have enough albums. But that’s okay! Because they were touring as early as this year! So there’s hope!

I’ve kind of lost the plot of why I was writing this post, aside from the fact that I remembered I had a crush on Jay Gordon in 1999, and also Marilyn Manson (who, I probably won’t mention again outside of this post).

Uh, have a pizza?
