Anthony Kiedis' Autobiography: Scar Tissue. Eep. I had no idea

I always thought that Anthony Kiedis was a normal type of dude. I was wrong.
I just finished Scar Tissue, his autobiography, and all I have to say is that I never knew he was/is such a dope fiend. Shooting heroin and coke for years and years, freebasing, nastiness, wow.
I will say that he talked about where he used to pick up dope in LA, so this week, I was on my way home, and stopped by one of the locations... and low and behold, there were lots of crack dealers. Pretty cool that I went to where Anthony Kiedis cops his shit.
Read it if you haven't already. It's an amazing book. It'll give you a whole new perspective of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

A friend of mine gave me that book when I was lost in addiction, same with Nikki Sixxx's book "The Heroin Diaries". Both of books helped me to realize that's it's OK to ask for help, and inspired me to get the help that I desperately needed.
Looking in my own eyes, hey Lord I can't find the love I want Someone better slap me Before I start to rust Before I start to decompose Looking in my rearview mirror Looking in my rearview mirror
I can make it disappear I can make it disappear Have no fear (Chorus)
I like pleasure spiked with pain and Music is my aeroplane It's my aeroplane Songbird sweet and sour Jane and Music is my aeroplane It's my aeroplane Pleasure spiked with pain That motherfucker's always spiked with pain
Sitting in my kitchen, hey girl I'm turning into dust again My melancholy baby The star of mazzy must Push her voice inside of me I'm overcoming gravity I'm overcoming gravity It's easy when you're sad to be It's easy when you're sad, sad like me
Just one note Could make me float Could make me float away One note from The song she wrote Could fuck me where I lay Just one note Could make me choke One note that's Not a lie Just one note Could cut my throat One note could make me die
Yeah

All I know is that I never got into opiates, and I'm glad about that.
Coke was a lot of fun, and I can see how that would be addictive... it certainly was, for me.
But heroin, with coke, and shooting both or shooting H and smoking crack, is guaranteed problems for life.
There are a lot of famous people that have died from speedballs, too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedball_%28drug%29#Notable_deaths_attributed_to_speedball_use
Just say no to opiates, says me.

Brilliant book Love the earlier chilli pepper music, I dont want to listen to the new album since john fruciante isn't in the band anymore He had an even worse heroin problem if I remember right.
