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 pagesix.com. The guitarist said: 'Maybe that explains why porn is growing bigger and bigger and rock seems to be getting smaller and smaller.'

New York Post, 10/26/07 - Former rocker Dave Navarro is biting the hand that fed him for so many years, dismissing the music industry as shallow and predictable. In Michael Grecco's new book, "Naked Ambition: An R-rated Look at an X-rated Industry," the former Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane's Addiction star, who now writes and directs XXX videos, says: "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." He adds: "It's heartening to feel kin to a group of freewheeling individuals who don't give a [bleep] about approval." Navarro, once married to Carmen Electra, also slams music execs as "narrow-sighted dinosaurs," noting, "Maybe that explains why porn is growing bigger and bigger and rock seems to be getting smaller and smaller."
