I am sitting at work still in a state of shock over seeing Jane's Addiction last night at the NME Awards. I was against the stage looking up at Perry. At Stephen. At Dave. And at ERIC AVERY. For this was truly a Jane's Addiction reunion where they performed not the one song that was promised, but four:StopMountain SongOcean SizeJane SaysStill stunned. Nearly cried.
