“Why did I write a book, you might wonder? Because it just seemed like the right time to be getting into the publishing industry.
I’m kidding. Publishing is rotting like an abandoned possum carcass on the shoulder of I-95.

Perry Farrell: Been Caught Healing

Lollapalooza founder resurrects the spirit of Jim Morrison in an effort to save the world 

By Steve Baltin

As I wait for Perry Farrell in an upstairs room at Santa Monica recording studio The Village, I hear him out in the hallway looking for me. He enters the room with a huge smile. “Come on, I’ve got a much better room for us,” he says, leading me upstairs.

Though we’ve become friendly over the years from seeing each other out often around LA and from the many times I’ve interviewed Farrell, it wouldn’t matter if I was a long-lost relative or we’d never met-he welcomes everybody into his world with the same warmth.

In his two decades in music, Farrell has done it all-fronted the iconic alternative band Jane’s Addiction; founded Lollapalooza, the most important outdoor festival of the last two decades and arguably one of music’s most revolutionary ideas (without Lolla would there have been Warped, Ozzfest, …
