I would like to reach Perry Farrell. Can anyone get his eye and/or ear?

tsimmons@ambientpower.com


His film 'The Gift' ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107011/ ) should be mentioned on this page.


Why no bio??


How did his mother commit suicide as a young girl.... before he was born? Can you clarify who was a surfer? Perry or his father?


This may sound like a troll, but is a serious question. I could have sworn Perry announced he was afflicted with AIDS at one point in the 1990s? The article seems to make no mention of this. I'd normally dismiss it as crack-smoking on my part, but it seems like a memory with such a huge impact, being a fan and all. Anyone? Jgw 14:28, 25 May 2006 (UTC)


I recall listening to a radio interview with Mr Farrell where he was talking about a mission to save slaves, it seemed like quite an event and i find it strange that it's not mentioned. Have I got it wrong? It would be good to know more. Paul from Middlesbrough - UK 194.168.3.18 15:57, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm changing the caption of the picture of Lollapalooza 2005. The image says the photo was taken on the 24th July 2004

[edit] WTF

He was not born "Simon Bernstein". His film is not called "The Gift" either, it's called GIFT (God Is Forever There). Perry never had aids, this was a rumour passed around because of the slip of paper on the cover of Ritual De Lo Habitual that says "postive" on it. It is a pregnancy test, and it isn't for Perry. Perry's mission to save slaves was related to and subsequently through this site: http://www.iabolish.com/ (rather, I think he was one of the people who helped found that site). There is a famous picture of him in Africa, and he spent $1 million of his own money to free 2000 slaves. I do not have the time or energy to add all these things to the main article. They are all readily available at various Jane's Addiction websites if anyone cares to look hard enough. Philosopher Torin 22:15, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
