Weirdest thing…
My son and I went music shopping. Apparently he was tuned into these here internets and discovered Damon Albarn’s latest project The Good, The Bad & The Queen, so we just had to go grab it (being Blur and Gorillaz fans after all it stands to reason). And while we were there, he talked me into adding to our Red Hot Chili Peppers collection. I had stopped collecting them Navarro-era; and to be honest with you, I don’t know why. Granted, didn’t like One Hot Minute at all; but they’ve produced fabulous stuff since then. Especially considering John Frusciante’s vocal harmonies and guitar work. Oh well, sometimes it takes a young mind to spark an old one into action.
and this is one of my favorite RHCP videos, directed by Mark Romanek with a treatment based on the “one minute sculptures” of photographer and conceptual artist erwin wurm. double plus good all around. And it is latter day Chili Peppers. Go figure.
