Scar Tissue?


I've spent a large percentage of my free time recently reading Anthony Kiedis' autobiography "Scar Tissue". Its a pretty crazy book - he has a crazy life story - but its a really interesting read, although at times something of a rollercoaster ride (on drugs, off drugs, on drugs, off drugs...). While reading I went searching for Chili Peppers-related sites. Checked out RedHotChiliPeppers.com - quite nice. The "FleaMail" is a bit of a laugh. Its definitely made me think more about their music - which I've liked for many years now (although Blood, Sugar, Sex Magic - my 1st album of theirs - was pretty late in their career).

One thing I found really interesting about his book is his strong connection with New Zealand. He bought a house up north, and visited many times. (Although a section of the book detailing one of his relapses is pretty scathing of the NZ doctor that prescribed him the wrong meds!) :-D
