	Description:		This week (month...summer...) we are talking about none other than FLEA. One of the world's funkiest living bassists, Flea has kept it thick on the low end for the Red Hot Chili Peppers for almost forty years. His 2019 memoir Acid For The Children enthusiastically details his life from conception to right as the Peps formed. It's a tale of Dickensian proportions: street rapscallion lifestyles, dirty Hollywood escapades, 1970s high school vibes, various freaks and creeps practically vibrating off the page. Shooting cocaine on an Amtrak train, hitchhiking, actual hiking, wrap party meth sharing, jeans that show off one's camel toe, puking at the club, dine-and-dashing at the local BBQ joint, and of course the power of jazz: it's all here and sometimes it's in ALL CAPS, BABY. Join us as we trace Flea's path from Australian childhood to Anthony Kiedis-enhanced adolescence and beyond.
