EPISODE SUMMARY:
Being ahead of your time can be both a blessing and a curse. You can be misunderstood and ostracized for it. Or in the case of alt rock impresarios Jane's Addiction, you can be heralded as the vanguard of an incredible artistic movement that changes the world forever. That's at least how comedian Matt Braunger feels about the band's 1988 album Nothing's Shocking, which truly does reverberate through the culture to this day as launching point for a whole new world of indie music.
