The Long and Short of It: Scar Tissue

Honest as GUTS.

Sex? Yep. Drugs? Wohohohohoh, yep. Rock'n'roll? Yessum.

It is a testament to Kiedis' charm that after revealing his deepest darkest secrets - the using, the infidelities, the lying - I find him so goddamn attractive.

Huuuge girl crush over here ladies n gents. Ignoring that; I recommend this. Highly.

Like the man himself, it's quite a spiritual chronicling of his past. I didn't think much of it at the time, but Kiedis narrates his (lengthy and often, as most are, complicated) romantic past with nothing but love and (I assume) truth. I liked that.

In fact, it's a very cool kinda juxtaposition - a calm and loving narration of a ridiculously hectic adventure.

Ophi's highlights: I loved hearing about the multitude of band members (something I never knew about) and the way they make their music. The name-dropping is pretty rad too. But the standout? The chapter about the song 'Under the Bridge'. But you gotta read it :)

The Short of It? Loved it, loved it, loved it.
