Perry Farrell



Perry Farrell created and produces the popular twenty year old music festival Lollapalooza. Farrell is also the lead singer of alternative rock band Jane's Addiction. Jane's Addiction gained popularity in the 90's with such hits as "Jane Says" and "Been Caught Stealing." The rock band was ranked 35th on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock list. They have released four studio albums, and the most recent, The Great Escape Artist was released a few months ago in October of 2011. Check out the "Irresistible Force" video from this album here. Perry has also fronted bands Porno for Pyros and Satellite Party (with his wife, Etty).
I recently asked Perry what he is currently reading.
He tweeted, "Brought Jobs on this trip."
Of course he means the best selling biography of Apple founder, Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson.
