Nothing Is No Longer Shocking

Perry Ferrell, the eccentric (and oddly adorable) lead singer of Jane’s Addiction, regretfully admits that the title of his band’s first studio album, Nothing’s Shocking, may no longer be a proper bragging right. Ferrell tells Rolling Stone that, after an arduous and inadvertent search, he has finally found a worthy opponent in the freakishly fertilized Nadya Suleman:

It’s been 21 years since Jane’s Addiction released Nothing’s Shocking, and frontman Perry Farrell has finally found a cultural phenomenon that refutes the memorable refrain from “Ted, Just Admit It …” “The Octo-Mom is shocking, so there you go,” he says. “It finally happened. I’m shocked.”

Fortunately, Ferrell quickly switches the topic of conversation to something much more alluring:

Hanging out with Rolling Stone the day after Jane’s Addiction’s triumphant South By Southwest gig at a former supermarket, Farrell says the group kicked the show off with “Three Days,” a song that used to fall in the middle of sets, because “When the thought clicked in, I got a chill. I love an entrance that’s like an orgasm, so it keeps building and then you have multiples. So in that song, it’s not just ‘Yay, there they are!’ and it fizzles. The song keeps coming on and coming on and coming on, you start to have multiple orgasms.”

Farrell also discusses the pluses and minuses of the Jane’s Addiction reunion, the band’s upcoming tour with Nine Inch Nails, and the undaunted thrill of autographing boobs. Read the full article here.
