I laughed I cried I pissed my pants
But mostly I cried
It far more about drug addiction and relationships
than it is about The Red Hot Chili Peppers

As an avid reader I was attracted to the cover with the red pepper on it and then saw it was a biography of a rock band I had listened to briefly in the 1990s The story proper far from disappoints Anthony Kiedis has written a vividly descriptive narrative with a talent for capturing the essence of that particular genre The idea of these musicians having Nirvana open for them and playing with the likes of Smashing Pumpkins is amazing considering they are near 50 at this point They should be opening for The Stones but instead they carved themselves a perfect niche in the US and then the world with their unique sound and dysfuctional family Anthony Kiedis was born to be something special his childhood makes Augusten Burroughs childhood look like Beaver Cleaver Yet he maintained that glass is half full attitude and as a result it is no wonder he is still a top star in his field I love the part in the book where he talks about hanging with Sonny Bono and what a great guy he was I am only a little more than halfway through the book and felt a need to comment I am compelled to return and finish a bio that reads like a wonderful bizzarre fantasy story and how fortunate Anthony is for getting through to the other side to tell us his riveting story

>> This book is rockin
This book is so badass and rockin Anthony Kiedis really had a crazy life And when I realized that he was still 13 What a great book to know the history behind all of their songs Now if only Nick Hexum would write a book like this And Mariah Carey would be nice too
