I just never got Jane’s Addiction. I really tried with Ritual de lo Habitual but it just didn’t click.
But then there was a time in L.A. around 2000, when, hopelessly stoned and locked away in the 4×4 for my own good, Perry Farrell spoke to me. Sang to me. Communed with me. However long it lasted I can only compare it to a religious experience. And then I sobered up and the music sounded shit again. Drugs eh? Who needs em?

I had that cover on my wall from buying that edition – I hadn’t heard them at that point, but knew that they were for me!
