i got this book the other day from the suggestion from a friends with autism and ADD who said it was the only book hes ever been able to finish and i can see why. Its the auto-biograpy of the red hot chili peppers lead singer and its a great book it talks about all of his drug adddictions and experience with the band and dealing with the death of his bandmate and lifelong friend hillel slovac its a great book

I don't doubt the book's greatness, but I want you to count how many books you have ever read that were not biographies/autobiographies about musicians. That goes for any book about musicians. Not that their lives were not interesting, but you put too much effort into hero worshiping.

I'll never read this book because I don't see Anthony Kiedis as a musical prodigy worthy of a book. I read one biography and it was about Kurt Cobain cuz HE was interesting.

i dont see him as a prodigy either nor do i like his band i just got the book cuz i heard it was good its all about his drug addictions and stuff not him worshipping himself, and butler this would be the only biography/autobiography that i have ever read of a musician this guy is not my hero, and the only other music related books would be the jim morrison poetry book and john lennon memory thing, none of these musicians are my hros except maybe john lennon and jimmy page, a lot of them are influences andpeople i respect but not heros

GA? I see what you're saying. But only barely. Is typing properly really that difficult that you cannot capitalize the beginnings of sentences and names? And is punctuation really that arbitrary to you? But, yeah, I think I understood your last post. Something about fried chicken, right?

this is one true to live novel. then it will be worth reading. cause it is full of lessons. i hope that they have learned their lessons well. and that it is not really worth it to use drugs and live a life dependent on it.

Most addicts probably realize (especially when they write their stories) that getting into drugs was a mistake, but I don't think it's about teaching the reader not to live like he did/does. To be honest, I don't know. To be dishonest, I know. Anyway, it does sound good, as would most biographies of people with turbulent lives, and I might consider reading it if I ever need something to read and GA's on hand to lend it to me.

You know, I ought to get him back on this forum. I did it before, and I'll do it again, damn it!
