Yes but are you also a batshit crazy boot licking pedolunatic?

Edit to be clear the hypocrisy of his flag waving / America is the greatest / don't criticize stance vs. Not serving the same country when called on isn't lost on me.

My assumption is that the drugs addled his already messed up mind, akin to having a stroke. Looking at fetterman rn.

It is sad how often that has happened. Steven Tyler did the same thing. And sadly Stevie Ray Vaughan did it so he could take his 16 year old girlfriend back to Texas from New Zealand.

Anthony Keidis admitted to raping a 14 year old groupie in his memoir

In the 1980s apparently no one gave a single shit about any of this.

I read Scar Tissue after being a RHCP fan for years, it's some grim reading at times. There's also that one video of the band sexually harassing a woman on TV.

I enjoy their music but don't have the fondness for the band members themselves that I used to.

That book was excellent at making me hate Anthony kedis. I too was a huge RHCP fan. Now I just follow flea and john f.

Fuck me. Not Stevie Ray. I did not need to hear that.

That whole 'never meet your heroes' thing should be more like never form any attachment to anyone you don't personally know.

remember when jimmy page locked his 13 year old girlfriend in his hotel room so none of the other band members could have sex with her?
