Reddit reviews Whores: An Oral Biography of Perry Farrell and Jane's Addiction

Skip the shite article and read the great book about them: Whores.

You'll see why it went to shit: Heroin, then crack for Perry. Great performers and musicians, but wow, what a trainwreck. The book is built all from interview quotes from each of them during all these periods and after, so they tell the story instead of the authors voice.
