Flea On Jazz

[KrisM]

I read this in the paper this morning. Not quite as eloquent as that post about MLK and jazz.
Still worth a read.

Cool! Thanks for that link!

I never knew that Flea grew up in a Jazz household, but that is very cool indeed.

I'd definitely watch that movie. I'll keep an eye out for it.

"When I was a kid, all I wanted to be was a jazz trumpeter, but when I was in high school, I had a great desire to have sex. So I ended up joining my friend in a rock band."

That's funny. When I was in high school, band was a very cliquish atmosphere, full of good-looking girls who seldom strayed outside the preserve. Within the group, trumpet players got the most sex by far.

“And ever since then, it has been the benchmark of high art. It changed my life,”

I admit I'm ignorant as to who Flea is but I have to admit he's right.

First time I saw Chili Pepper's video I was surprised by the tattoo of Jimi Hendrix that Flea had on his arm.
