 Exquisite Corpse - A Journal of Letters and Life
Settled in cozy in our dark seat together, it didn't take Stephen Perkins long to tell me about Candi (I hope that's a fake name) who was 22 (half his age) and a topless dancer at a club in the Dallas suburb where Stephen Perkins lived.
I could have been happy for Stephen and Candi, but there was his wife and three daughters and two sons and a sheepdog and four Siamese cats and a family of newts and a colony of pink-toed tarantulas.
But Stephen Perkins has caught me at an embarrassingly human moment, when my sorrows are exposed like naked nerve endings, and we huddle there in the bus, together in our pathetic humanity, our fear of death and darkness, our common bond of fucking up as badly as utterly ordinary humans can.

Stephen Perkins' riveting work with Jane's Addiction and Porno For Pyros has made him one of the most respected and sought-after drummers of the 90's.
Perkins: I'm glad I've got that stuff on my kit (bongos, djembes and congas.) I try to take pride in not being a traditionalist: not using the traditional rhythms or not using the traditional ways of hitting the drum.
Perkins: The DW Woofer (An 8"x22" bass drum sound enhancer designed to be positioned in front of conventional bass drums in order to amplify the drum's bottom-end resonance) it's quite an achievement to come up with something to improve the bass drum sound like that.

A stellar return to form, the fury and bluster and beauty that is Strays make it one of the best rock albums of the year, basking proudly in the glow of Nothing's Shocking and Ritual de Lo Habitual, Jane's two previous, staggeringly brilliant albums.
Shortly before the release of Strays, and prior to 2003's re-launch of the Lollapalooza tour that Jane's Addiction made famous, I spoke with drummer Stephen Perkins on the phone for an hour and a half.
