My ass. When I read this the other day, I nearly shit my pants laughing.
Dave Navarro is delusional. He's just trying to run down a train that left a long time ago with Evan Seinfeld, Kid Rock, Tommy Lee, and others on board. Furthermore, the biggest problem with the great wasteland of porn is the lack of originality and that so-called rebel attitude that put the business on the map in the first place. It's still alive and well in guys like Phil Harvey, Steve Orenstein, Larry Flynt, and a very few select others (all in different ways, of course), but to find it elsewhere in this business... well forget it. Of course, guys like Rob Black, Max Hardcore, and Jeff Steward like to portray themselves as great American rebels, but the long and the short of it is that they're just irresponsible misogynists with shitty attitudes and even shittier product.
Navarro, as Tony alluded to, is just a glory hound who can't make it being a true-to-life rock star anymore and needs another way to get his name in the rags. Well fuck you, Dave Navarro. If I wanna watch porn made by a washed up, sexually ambiguous, wanna-be rock star, I'll just watch something made by/with Kurt Lockwood.
