It’s nearly been 30 years since Perry Farrell led a motley crew of shoppers shimmying down a supermarket aisle in the Jane’s Addiction classic “Been Caught Stealing” video. But the godfather of alternative rock — who founded Lollapalooza in 1991 and now has seven branches of the music festival around the world — is still kicking it, with “Kind Heaven,” his second solo album, out Friday, and City Winery shows with his Kind Heaven Orchestra on Friday and Saturday.

Here, the New York native reveals how he celebrated his 60th, why he didn’t die young, and the sexual shenanigans at the first Lollapalooza.

You turned 60 on March 29. So what did you do to celebrate?
Not only did I have Lollapalooza Chile in Santiago as my party, but backstage, my fellow promoters had the craziest setup. They made Perry Farrell 60th birthday posters for me, and they had this marijuana area that had all these crazy [edible] jellies and everything else. I haven’t been that high in years! It was unbelievable. Seriously, it was almost like the first time I’d ever gotten high . . . And then my lovely wife, Etty, put together a birthday celebration on a ship in the Galapagos Islands, so we swam with penguins and sea lions. When you go snorkeling and you feel something go up your butt, it’s a damn sea lion messing with you! God, it was the best time.

Did you ever think you’d still be going so strong at 60?
Nah. I had no idea. I would say to myself, “Do you wanna be 60?” and then I would say, “Nah.” But you know what? Now that I am 60, it’s the best time of my life. Sixty comes around, and you gotta thank God that you’re alive, you know? I’m raring to go.

Some of your peers didn’t make it that far.
I love life. I love my family — they get me started. I love art and beauty and nature. And so the idea of dropping off when I was in my 20s — shooting my arm up and dropping off — just didn’t appeal to me, man. I like being around . . . Lollapalooza is another thing that keeps me always eager as I wake up. I wanna see the new groups; I wanna hear what they sound like, what their message is.

What’s your most memorable Lollapalooza?
Well, it’s gotta be the first one. It was just so wild and woolly. I remember doing everything from working out with weights in the morning with Henry Rollins to having orgies with Ice-T.

What are your memories of making that iconic “Been Caught Stealing” video?
I was very proud of it. I had a lot to do with choosing the location and the ideas for it. And it was my first time working with professional dancers, some of whom I still stay in touch with and I run into from time to time . . . It led me into falling in love with dancers — and eventually I ended up marrying one.

What is the state of Jane’s Addiction and your relationship with the guys after all these years?
We remain brothers. In fact, before I head out to New York City for the City Winery residency, I called for a dinner just so everybody can [know that] I’m going off on a little journey, but I’ll be back. And my plan is, there’s definitely more music in the future for us . . . But Chris [Chaney] will be out there with me. Chris wrote and recorded all the bass lines for “Kind Heaven,” and he’s my musical director.

So what’s your idea of heaven?
A peaceful place, something like the Garden of Eden, where the lion or the leopard can lie down with the lamb. And we will understand and know God more.
