Perry Farrell on the second Messianic era, his new solo album and more

Jane's Addiction lit the fuse for the alt-rock explosion of the early '90s with massive hits like Been Caught Stealing. Once the band crossed over from the underground to the mainstream, they forged the path for a whole new generation of bands to follow, from Nirvana, to Pearl Jam, to Rage Against the Machine. 

The frontman for Jane's Addiction, Perry Farrell, went a step further and revolutionized the rock concert industry in North America when he launched Lollapalooza, the hugely influential, genre-crossing, weekend-long outdoor concert. Now, nearly 30 years later, Farrell is still coming up with new ways to reshape our experience with music. 

Farrell's wild new solo album, Kind Heaven, is a lot of things: an electro dance party, a heavy-metal protest record and spiritual retreat all in one. For Farrell, who's spent a lot of time reconnecting with his Jewish roots, the album is a religious experience.

He joined host Tom Power in the q studio to tell us why the album is something like a version of a biblical myth, adapted for the current political moment.
