Jane's Addiction -- Nothing's Shocking

  These guys were my teenage band.  I was totally obsessed with every word, every note and every picture, there was to see, hear and read about this band!!  I remember I even had to rip the album covers off so my mother wouldn't discover the nudity, she went as far as tossing my favorite Jane's Addiction t-shirt in the garbage, you know the one with the chick in the fire, like on the back cover of the first Leonard Cohen album.  I always found that Jane's Addiction, especially Nothing's Shocking, was like the anti-Guns and Roses, sounds like they may have had allot of the same influences, but took it in different ways.  At the time, and from then on, "nothing was shocking, anymore!"
