DAVE NAVARRO Slams Music Industry Executives As 'Narrow-Sighted Dinosaurs'

October 27, 2007

New York Post's Page Six reports that former JANE'S ADDICTION guitarist Dave Navarro is biting the hand that fed him for so many years, dismissing the music industry as shallow and predictable. In Michael Grecco's new book, "Naked Ambition: An R-rated Look at an X-rated Industry", Navarro, who recently directed a feature-length adult movie called "Broken", says: "Rock and porn exist to break taboos. Rock used to have that rebellious 'up against the world' creed . . . That doesn't exist anymore in the music world — but it's alive and well in the adult industry." He adds: "It's heartening to feel kin to a group of freewheeling individuals who don't give a [bleep] about approval." Navarro, once married to Carmen Electra, also slams music execs as "narrow-sighted dinosaurs," noting, "Maybe that explains why porn is growing bigger and bigger and rock seems to be getting smaller and smaller."
