I’m thinking that they both swing both ways, Etty looks like she’s climbed mount bush a couple times in her life. As for Perry, it’s pretty obvious.

@ Adam

I thought the open-necked shirt/shaved chest/neck scarf were good visual cues, myself. Can’t trust musicians to be gender specific. Look at Bowie and Iman.

I met him once – and assumed that he was homosexual. I’m a bit surprised to see that he hooked up with Etty Lau and has been with her since 1997.

I love how some people just type “I don’t like this article” or something like that. As if everyone should agree and bow to you. Lame. I loved this article, porno for pyros is a great band!

I can’t say I’m a fan, but I respect how he’s getting out there and DOING something. You may not like it, but he’s being original.

Rock On, Perry!

it is interesting; Perry is fantastic, and though people claim he can’t sing, his voice is perfectly suited to his style of music.

It should read like:

After graduating from high school in Florida, in the early 80s Perry decided to live the surfer’s life in Los Angeles, California,

Move the coma from after “80s” to after “Florida”

Ok, I’ll move on now…

# Perry Farrell was born in Queens, New York on March 29, 1959.

# After graduating from high school in Florida in the early 80s,

These two facts don’t seem to add up as he would be 21 in 1980. Unless he dropped out and went back to get his GED.

THANK YOU for this post. I’ve seen Jane’s Addiction multiple times since 1989, have everything Perry has ever recorded with and band and solo, and am probably his biggest fan.
