Spinning in the World

John you wizard you

Smile from the Streets You Hold

A favourite song I’ve only recently learned to play

Permutation [Live In Montreal 2006]

John Frusciante & Flea

The band took a two-week hiatus between the European and Japanese legs of the tour, which began in May 1992. Minutes before the Chili Peppers were scheduled to perform in Tokyo, Frusciante refused to go on stage, claiming he quit the band. After half an hour of coaxing, Frusciante agreed to play the show, though he asserted it would be his last. Kiedis recalled of the situation: “It was the most horrible show ever. Every single note, every single word, hurt, knowing that we were no longer a band. I kept looking over at John and seeing this dead statue of disdain…And that night, John disappeared from the topsy-turvy world of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.”

It’s been emotional. 

Pft, this is still a gross underestimate of what this figure should be. 

To celebrate, here’s John taking hits from a bong

Above: the best pastime.
