Jane Says, “Sex and Violence!”

Jane’s Addiction is back on tour, playing their critically acclaimed Nothing’s Shocking from start to finish. Jane Says, "Sex and Violence!"As Perry Farrell asked the crowd last night at the Brooklyn Bowl, “Is it shocking that Nothing’s Shocking is having its 25th anniversary?” Jane Says, "Sex and Violence!"Meant to be rhetorical, it wasn’t. Because it is, shocking that is. Dave Navarro remains as tattooed and rocking’ out as ever while Farrell maintains his crackhead je ne sais crois. Jane Says, "Sex and Violence!"But even with the bra-and-pantied girls swinging above the stage, the music isn’t as raw, nor as overwhelming, but has deteriorated into more of a burlesque. Jane Says, "Sex and Violence!"All of which was made worse by the Williamsburghians, in their hats and beards, chanting “Let’s Go Rangers” at the bar.Jane Says, "Sex and Violence!"
