“They were very important to me. The fact that you could go watch Jim Rose’s Circus Sideshow and go rock out to Soundgarden and go watch Porno for Pyros and see the Boredoms playing experimental noise rock on the second stage. And you could go hangout and talk to Ray Manzarek from The Doors, while he does this thing with Michael McClure, this spoken word trip and he’s laying down Doors jams on the keyboard, I mean it’s an amazing thing. That’s why Perry put it together and I’m happy that it’s happening this year and that we’re a part of it.”
