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.

Gush o' the Day - Anthony Kiedis

Currently reading Scar Tissue.

Um, giant crush on Anthony Kiedis.

Um, totally inappropriate stalking of him and his kid. I apologise, I'm all for protecting kids from the media but c'mon Ant - let's get real here. I mean. Noone reads this. haha.

And dude. I'm so unbelievably happy he's a dad. Stereotypical female moment here, please ignore while I swoon and sigh all over the joint.

Back to my giant crush. I'm a bit surprised (as, lets face it, I am by a lot of my behaviour). I've always admired him (with my eyes), but having him tell me that he cheated on his girlfriends, and went drugnuts shouldn't really be the fantasy courtship it's becoming...

Um, shutup conscience. I friggin like Anthony Kiedis ... COS LOOK AT HIM WITH DAVE GROHL - gah. Just, LOOK.
