I've sort of had an investigatory relationship with being a musician. I really wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I felt I had had my run - I had done Jane's and I wasn't particularly interested in music anymore.

I know in my soul when something feels like a sell out and I think for me, I knew that if I did the Jane's Addiction reunion thing, that I would feel like a sell out. That's how it would feel to me.

I said to myself a long time ago that I didn't want to be that hanging-on-for-too-long, aging-rock-musician guy, and that's why I sort of got away from music.

But the great thing, and the horrible thing about the web is you can just throw stuff up there and it doesn't cost anybody anything.

I have always considered reunions to be a way to make a quick buck, and it sells short my own experience of it the first time around.

That's it. With equal parts regret and relief, the Jane's Addiction experiment is at an end.
