...parents absolutely crazy. Singer Perry Farrell's previous band, the Los Angeles-based alternative-rock quartet Jane's Addiction, provided fans with concerts of pagan celebration: their music was bursting with guitar-powered Dionysian frenzy and golden calf-esque imagery (Bored with your lives, children? We've got a cow god for you). The group's final album, Ritual de lo Habitual (1990), featured cover art with full- frontal nudity, a song about kleptomania and an 11-minute rock epic that out-zeppelined Led Zeppelin...

Ricky Falls, a black outfielder who plays alongside Barr and is as much of a friend as the phenom can accept, tells most of it. Falls and the rest of his teammates, except for Barr, lead their league in dalliance with the baseball annies who show up in the team hotel...
...press table and asks who wants to participate in the Boys and Girls Club Celebrity Shoot-Out. I wonder what would happen if I offered to do it. I let Mike Dowling do it instead. He and his partner sink 22 free-throws in a minute to tie Dallas Cow-boy quarterback Steve Beuerlein and his partner, who's shooting at the other end. The Boys and girls Club gets some money. Everyone's happy...
