    The end of Jane's Addiction?

    Perry Farrell attacks Dave Navarro on stage at a show in Boston two weeks ago.

    Stage hands and guitar techs have confirmed that Farrell punched Navarro twice backstage as Navarro was trying to figure out what was going on.

    After a NOFX concert in 1993 in Germany, a German fan stole the guitar pedal of El Hefe. In 2023 he mailed the pedal back to the band with an apology letter & some German chocolate (eaten by El Hefe.)

    Jefferson Airplane appear on American Bandstand. Though they had two hits on the charts, this was the country's introduction to not just the band but the San Francisco psychedelic music scene.

    1993, Scott Weiland and Dean DeLeo of Stone Temple Pilots do a brief interview and perform "Plush" in Soho Square in London.

    At the time, STP had a big following in Southern California but were just getting national exposure with "Sex Type Thing" & "Plush." In the UK, they were pretty much unknown. Playing "Plush" while people just scurry by without noticing.

    Following the success of The UK's Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas" in 1984, USA for Africa recorded "We Are The World" on Jan 28, 1985.

    Thirteen days later, Canada's best singers came together in Toronto to prove that Canada is NOT a shithole. The result was "Tears Are Not Enough" by Northern Lights..

    I'm not a huge fan of The Cure but they had some good tunes and Robert Smith is a massively underrated guitarist. He's also a QPR fan, an all round good lad.

    I posted somewhere on here that he's also a fan of the Rocky films.

    The song, "Catch" was inspired by the scene in the original Rocky when he is talking about what Adrian means to him.
