I finished reading Scar Tissue about a week ago now and I’m surprised it has taken me this long to write about it. I’m going to have to audit myself because I could go on & on about this autobiography. This book is guts and balls. Anthony’s candidness invites readers into his psyche to uncover with him the trials and tribulations which lead him to his drug addiction. The book makes you fall in and out of love with Kiedis like so many of his girlfriends. My favourite parts of the book was when Anthony would relate his songs to the events that take place in his life. Before this book I wasn’t the biggest RHCP fan, I’m more of a seasonal fan, I seem to drift in and out of their music, but I’ll tell you what I have never played my chili peppers album more now then I have since when I bought it (I think I was about 13). I also got to see the poet in Kiedis & I think I melted when in the song ‘Scar Tissue’ he says
“Fallin’ all over myself
to lick your heart and taste your health ‘cause”
