[kj] See 'Em While You Can

[Karen Weil]

I remember seeing Jane's Addiction back in '87. I must confess that I was not impressed, at all. 
However, since then I've come to appreciate the band. But it took awhile ....

  I am having a hard time with this.  I loved Jane's Addiction and saw them twice during the original days. 
  I never contemplated ANY of the "reunions".  Every part of that band was equal to the sum of the whole.  And honestly I never thought I would see this.  

  And I am a bit surprised that it is Farrell that is causing the angst with Avery. 
  Because everything I have heard is that Navarro is premadonna now to work with. 
  BUT it sounds like Farrell is, still, causing the problems by looking at the last aborted JA tour and how Navarro and Perkins went on to that abysmal attempt of a band.  And maybe it is the drugs.  Farrell doesn't apologize for it.  And Avery wants nothing to do with it (look at him he is HUGE).

  I am way over NiN.  I don't hate them but I have no desire to see them ever again.  As of now I am not making any attempt to go.   Maybe if Jane's Addiction did their own thing and it was in smaller venues I would be more likely.

  The whole reformation/reunion thing is getting a bit out of hand

  We'll see
