Sunshine Boy...Perry Farrell

Perry Farrell (born Perry Bernstein in New York City on March 29, 1959) is a musician who, as the frontman of Jane's Addiction, was one of the pioneers of alternative rock. Peretz (פרץ) is his Hebrew name, as well as his DJ moniker ("DJ Peretz"). His stage name is a play on the word peripheral (although Farrell also happens to be his brother's name).



The name "Perry Farrell" is a pun on 'peripheral'.
