NEW YORK:

Former rock guitarist Dave Navarro has dismissed the music industry as shallow and predictable, and has now taken to directing porn videos.

Said Navarro, who once played with Red Hot Chilli Peppers, “Rock and porn exist to break taboos. Rock used to have that rebellious ‘up against the world’ creed... That doesn’t exist anymore in the music world — but it’s alive and well in the adult industry. It’s heartening to feel kin to a group of freewheeling individuals who don’t give a (bleep) about approval.”

He also slams music bosses as “narrow-sighted dinosaurs”, reports page-six.com. “Maybe that explains why porn is growing bigger and bigger.”
