Flea to write memoir…

As a longtime fan of the Chili Peppers, I’m looking forward to this one. Flea is writing a memoir. I’m sure the book will be about his life and music career with the Chili Peppers but in this article the book will mainly focus on his friendship with Anthony Kiedis. I’m sure Flea can tell an interesting story ’cause he is an interesting guy. I’ve read plenty of interviews with Flea through various music magazines over the years so I know he can tell a good story. I’m sure he’ll talk about how he first picked up the bass and what made him want to play and stuff so that’ll be interesting.

I like to read rock music memoirs. Why? Because reading about a musicians life is interesting to me. I’ve read plenty of rock memoirs from Neil Young, Clapton, Dave Mustaine, Sammy Hagar, Dee Snider, Pete Townshend, etc.

Joe Satriani is coming out with his own memoir later this month and can’t wait to read that one as well.

Report: Documentary about Anthony Kiedis of the Chilli Peppers coming to HBO!!!

The Red Hot Chilli Peppers main frontman Anthony Kiedis is putting together a documentary TV series about his life for HBO. Kiedis has teamed up with Marc Abrams and Michael Benson of Catapult 360 to make an HBO TV series titled “Scar Tissue”, a title taken from the same song title named “Scar Tissue” a hit single from the album “Californication”.

The show is not really a documentary of the band the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, the show will be strictly about the life of Anthony Kiedis. It will begin with his childhood to what he is now. Kiedis is in negotiations with HBO in hopes of possibly narriating the show himself and to do cameos as well. Kiedis is closely working on this project with his father to help bring back his childhood memories for the show.

Sounds interesting. Very cool. I’ll have to watch the first episode whenever it debuts on HBO to see how it is.
