Bijna alleen maar losse verhaaltjes of anekdotes van steeds 1 pagina. Het is niet een vloeiend geheel wat ik normaal gewend ben bij een biografie.

Samenvatting Flea, the iconic bassist and co-founder, alongside Anthony Kiedis, of the immortal Red Hot Chili Peppers finally tells his fascinating origin story, complete with all the dizzying highs and the gutter lows youd expect from an LA street rat turned world-famous rock star. His more famous stage name, Flea, and his wild ride as the renowned bass player for the Red Hot Chili Peppers was in a far and distant future. Little Michael from Oz moved with his very conservative, very normal family to Westchester, New York, where life as he knew it was soon turned upside down. His parents split up and he and his sister moved into the home of his mothers free-wheeling, jazz musician boyfriend - trading in rules, stability, and barbecues for bohemian values, wildness, and Sunday afternoon jazz parties where booze, weed, and music flowed in equal measure. When Michaels family moved to Los Angeles in , his home situation was rockier than ever. He sought out a sense of belonging elsewhere, spending most of his days partying, playing basketball, and committing petty crimes. At Fairfax High School, he met another social outcast, Anthony Kiedis, who quickly became his soul brother, the yin to his yang, his partner in mischief. Michael joined some bands, fell in love with performing, and honed his skills. But it wasnt until the night when Anthony, excited after catching a Grandmaster Flash concert, suggested they start their own band that he is handed the magic key to the cosmic kingdom.

Scar Tissue Beastie Boys Book Life Red Hot Chili Peppers 0. The Beautiful Ones De meeste mensen deugen Door zijn openheid en bescheidenheid heeft het verhaal een heel andere lading dan de meeste autobiografieën van muzikanten en voelt het toch origineel. Met zijn spirituele observaties overstijgt hij het stappenplan van de geteisterde artiest en laat daardoor niet zijn leven zien als dat van de bassist van de Red Hot Chili Peppers maar van een individu. Zijn genuanceerde kijk op dingen maakt dat zijn wereldbeeld de lezer transporteert naar een perspectief waarin dingen nooit zwart of wit zijn. Hij weidt uit over de ontdekkingen die hij op muziekgebied deed in die tijd en wat voor vreemde figuren hij tegen het lijf liep. Hoewel er veel vermakelijke mensen voorbij komen die een bijzondere sfeer creëren, is dat ook iets dat het verhaal onoverzichtelijk maakt. Al die vreemde vogels hebben namelijk vreemde namen en doen nog vreemdere dingen, wat ze moeilijk te onderscheiden maakt. De titel van het boek is overgenomen van The Too Free Stooges gelijknamige nummer. Written in Music Verrassend is echter wel dat dit geen RHCP-boek is geworden. Die niet zoals Kiedis iemand nodig had Larry Sloman om zijn verhalen op te schrijven. Acid For The Children is zeer persoonlijk, af en toe zelfs ontluisterend eerlijk, heftig maar ook vol levensvreugde over muziek. Flea groeit als Michael Balzary, samen met zijn zus op in Australië. Als zijn vader voor zijn werk naar Amerika vertrekt neemt hij zijn gezin mee. Terug naar Australië wil zijn moeder daarna niet meer. Ze start een andere relatie met een wilde jazzmuzikant en besluit van de ene op de andere dag haar man te verlaten en neemt de kinderen mee. De plek waar hij in zijn tienerjaren de vrienden van zijn leven ontmoet. De broederlijke vriendschap met Anthony Kiedis is daarvan de belangrijkste. Niet alleen weten de jongens elkaar met buitenissige gedragingen te verrassen daarnaast staat uitproberen van alles wat mogelijk is daarin centraal. Drugs in het bijzonder. Ook de vriendschap met Hillel Slovak en Jack Irons, de jongens kennen elkaar allemaal van highschool, komt uit de periode halverwege hun tienerjaren. Mooi hoe Flea die jaren beschrijft en de vriendschap tussen hem en Kiedis tot haast Just Kids Patti Smiths legendarische boek debuut achtige proporties weet te verwoorden. Michael joined some bands, fell in love with performing, and honed his skills. But it wasnt until the night when Anthony, excited after catching a Grandmaster Flash concert, suggested they start their own band that he is handed the magic key to the cosmic kingdom. Acid for the Children is as raw, entertaining and wildly unpredictable as its author. Its both a tenderly evocative coming of age story and a raucous love letter to the power of music and creativity.

[Acid for the Children Als de naam van de schrijver je onbekend in de oren klinkt kan dat kloppen, hij staat namelijk beter bekend als Flea, de bassist van de Red Hot Chili Peppers. Op jonge leeftijd verhuisden Flea en zijn familie van Melbourne naar New York. Na de scheiding van zijn ouders ging zijn vader terug naar Australië en trok Flea samen met zijn zus in bij zijn moeder en haar nieuwe vriend, een jazzmuzikant. Later ruilde de familie New York in voor Los Angeles, waar de zoektocht naar muziek echt van start ging. Flea heeft zijn levensverhaal op papier gezet in een bijzondere schrijfstijl, die heel aangrijpend is. Dat zie je sterk terug in bijvoorbeeld deze zin:. Door de korte hoofdstukken is het een overzichtelijk boek en samen met de toegankelijke schrijfstijl is het een verhaal dat de gemiddelde lezer makkelijk wegleest. Het chronologisch vertelde verhaal is verteld in simpele spreektaal met grove randjes en wordt van tijd tot tijd onderbroken door poëtische gedachtenspinsels, een combinatie die verrassend goed werkt. Niet alleen zijn leven wordt omschreven, ook hoe hij de wereld toen zag en nu ziet, wordt besproken. Het verhaal volgt een pad dat vrijwel alle autobiografieën van beroemde muzikanten lijken te volgen: een moeilijke jeugd, buitenbeentje zijn, drugsproblemen en wilde feesten. Met vrienden spelen doet hij graag, vooral met Irons en Slovak, maar de vraag om toe te treden tot het, door hun debuut The Record , heilig verklaarde FEAR doet de vriendschap geen goed. Met het vertrek uit die band en het opnieuw gaan spelen met Irons en Slovak en dan ook met Kiedis verandert dat. Dat is waar dit boek eindigt. Flea is muziek. Acid For The Children is een absolute page turner. Flea heeft een heerlijk open manier van schrijven en vanuit zijn jonge jaren meer dan genoeg te vertellen om zijn boek meer een roman dan een biografie te laten zijn.

    The iconic bassist and co-founder of the Red Hot Chili Peppers tells his fascinating origin story, complete with all the dizzying highs and the gutter lows you’d want from an LA street rat turned world-famous rock star. In Acid for the Children, Flea takes listeners on a deeply personal and revealing tour of his formative years, spanning from Australia to the New York City suburbs to, finally, Los Angeles. Through hilarious anecdotes, poetical meditations, and occasional flights of fantasy, Flea deftly chronicles the experiences that forged him as an artist, a musician, and a young man. His dreamy, jazz-inflected prose makes the Los Angeles of the 1970s and 80s come to gritty, glorious life, including the potential for fun, danger, mayhem, or inspiration that lurked around every corner. It is here that young Flea, looking to escape a turbulent home, found family in a community of musicians, artists, and junkies who also lived on the fringe. He spent most of his time partying and committing petty crimes. But it was in music where he found a higher meaning, a place to channel his frustration, loneliness, and love. This left him open to the life-changing moment when he and his best friends, soul brothers, and partners-in-mischief came up with the idea to start their own band, which became the Red Hot Chili Peppers. With an original poem by Patti Smith introducing this unique memoir, Acid for the Children is the debut of a stunning new literary voice, whose prose is as witty, entertaining, and wildly unpredictable as the author himself.

  • Book Reviews
    Book Reviews Beil, Benjamin, Gundof S. Freyermuth, and Hanns Christian Schmidt, eds. Playing Utopia: Futures in Digital Games. transcript, 2019. A diverse but tightly consolidated collective effort, the volume Playing Utopia: Futures in Digital Games was conceived and prepared for publication at the Cologne Game Lab in Germany. Cologne is famous for the largest video game fair in Europe, gamescom. It is only one of the many installments of the Cologne Trade Fair, founded almost a century ago as one of the many industrial World Fairs, initially designed as large-scale futuristic celebrations of progress. Unaffiliated, but situated in the same cultural dimension, is the Clash of Realities conference, organized by the Cologne Game Lab. It is a major international game studies conference in Germany with already 10 years of history. The chapters in Playing Utopia are from and inspired by a summit at the Clash of Realities in 2018; the volume gathers work from scholars based in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and the UK, at the time of writing. The German-speaking school of game studies may not be as large and influential as any of the streams in the English-speaking scholarship. However, many important concepts from game studies originated in it: the universally accepted definition of gamification (Deterding) comes from Germany, and the lesser known (but gaining popularity) understanding of interpassivity in games and arts (Jagodzinski; Pfaller) has Austrian roots. These concepts have been productively discussed by German-speaking scholars in parallel with, or even before, their international dissemination. With that in mind, we are free to speculate which ideas from Playing Utopia will travel across continents in the future.

  • When Did You Start Playing Music? When I Was 11 Years Old I Started Playing Harmonica
    When did you start playing music? When I was 11 years old I started playing Harmonica. My parents split up when I was 12. I lived part time downtown with my mom and in the suburbs with my Dad. When I was living with my Mom i worked at a candy factory called Bissinger’s and I saved up money for my first guitar. Then I got myself a harmonica holder, and a top hat, and Bob Dylan’s Nashville Skyline Rag. I drew a very life like picture of myself as Bob Dylan on the cover of Nashville Skyline tipping my top hat with my harmonica holder and my new guitar and learned every song on that album by ear and then I was transformed. And so it begins. What other influences did you have early on? I had an amazing amount of influences in my family because I had two older sisters…. Old enough to be slightly more hip to better music? Yeah, really fucking hip. My dad was a total conservative square listening to like Englebert Humperdinck and Herb Alpert, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin. My sister Melanie was a hippy, so she had a lot of the San Francisco stuff like the Grateful Dead, Country Joe And The Fish, Jefferson Airplane Etc Etc. but because of us living in St. Louis she was heavily into R&B, Like The O’Jays, The Four Tops, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye. Little Stevie Wonder.So all that stuff was flowing around there and my brother being like 14 was into the popular music of that time.
