You people are NOT going to believe this! The Red Hot Chilli Peppers have a new ablum out and - get this - it's got a song on it about California!!!
But HERE'S the part that's REALLY gonna blow your mind: It's got a song about how L.A. is all shallow and awful and stuff!
Can you believe it? I just can't fathom how much they've evolved as a band over the last twelve years.
Wow.
Look, fellas, no one hates L.A. more than I do right now, but here's the big difference between you guys and the rest of us doomed souls who live here: YOU'RE MILLIONAIRES! BUY A HOUSE IN VALENCIA OR MADDISSON WISCONSIN AND SHUT UP ALREADY!!!
Yeah, yeah... we GET it... L.A. is full of shallow people and drugs... you must really hate shallow people and drugs to have stayed rock stars for so long.
I used to like RHCP, but they've officially lost me now.
I'm sure they'll be devastated when they hear the news.

you know, when I was driving home tonight, The D.J. on the radio started to play some "California" song and it sounded like the Chili Peppers to me, but it was different than the usual dreck (new yiddish for you)) I've heard from them. And since I don't like RHCP or their music, I changed the station. The only entertaining part of my connection to the song was coming to your blog, reading the big news and totally agreeing with it.
Although I don't hate all of CA, mainly L.A.
I love you though. Thanks again for a wonderful Saturday night.
Chili peppers suck. Matt H. said so. They never even wore vans. Drove past the mountain the other day. Fountains that is. Goodnight John Boy. Milk and Cheesepuffs forever.jk
I happen to like it here but then again I'm originally from some third world banana republic so maybe I appreciate it more.
L.A. is fine. It's the people that suck.
Okay, Louie, you have a good point... but people suck no matter WHERE you go most of the time.
People who don't suck are the exception, not the rule.
Thus, 'exceptional people'.
L.A. as a land mass is actually quite nice... good weather, near the ocean and mountains... the CHUDS are polite... but since the whole town is centered around show-business it tends to grate one one's nerves.
Which is why if I were, say, 'FLea' - I'd just buy a house in Iowa and play video games all day.
Yeah, I agree, the CHUD are pretty nice out here. The Morlocks in NY are real assholes
Good points John. But people in let's say Sonoma County are there because of the wine industry and most of them are nice but their wine snobbery grates my nerves. What about the computer nerds and intellectual elites in Palo Alto and the rest of Silicon Valley? They're grating too!
I guess we can all do what one of our esteemed colleagues did a while back and buy some shotgun shack in keisterfreak, USA....
Flea and Keidis and the rest of those guys wouldn't dare live in another town because they won't have LA and California to bash and use for lyrics in their juvenile music. Plus LA is one big drugstore thats open 24/7.
.. meanwhile maybe Flea is playing Halo in his rec room in Iowa.
...and THAT - really - is my main point...
They LOVE L.A. because it allows them to write endless whiny songs about how awful and shallow it is.
What I find more interesting at this point, though, is that of all of my topics, THIS one has sparked the most discussion...
I think they had their heyday something like 5,840 days ago. (Do the math). Really, like many pseudo-miserable celebrities these days, I can only pity them for about 5 seconds and then find someone else to pick on for being annoying, somehow famous and too wealthy to be complaining about shit.
I too think it's interesting that of all your blogs entries, this one has fostered the most discussion. Weird.
