I remember him singing in Bible class, dancing in the hallways of GCS, and performing the baddest assiest air guitar you've ever seen...
So when he critiques an album - my ears perk up and I take heed.
I encourage you to do the same.
How is it possible?
By Dublin O'Shea
Hello my friends. It's been a while, since I spent some time with you. I was seriously considering hanging up my keyboard and retiring from the blogging world. No, please don't cry. It would probably be for the best. I think I've managed to offend more people that I ever intended too. It's not that I really care about offending people. More that people have just stopped reading. And if they aren't reading, what's the point in writing?
But for now, I have at least one more thing to complain about. It's what we old people do. I bitch about punk kids messing up my lawn, about my aches and pains when the weather acts up, and about that damn music.
Now I don't want to sound like a broken record, so today I'm not going to bitch about rap "music". Instead, I'm going to parlay with you about how is it possible that anyone still likes the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
For the sake of all things holy, they have to be the worst band ever. And not only is their music god-awful, but it is saturating the airwaves! You can't even turn on the radio here in Phoenix without hearing that damn band. It makes me wish to be even older so my hearing would go to pot. I literally pray to go deaf just so that I would never have to listen to RHCP again. They should pass a law. They pass enough stupid laws as it is, why not one banning Anthony Kiedis from making any more records.
I don't claim to be a musical genius. I'm not particularly talented either. But my ears have not deceived me. So please, I beg you all, stop the madness! Remember all the one hit wonders that have been so overplayed? Remember the songs that make you want to cut off your ears in Van Gogh fashion if you were to ever hear them again? We are constantly surrounded by horrible songs. But at least those groups disappear. RHCP just won't stop. And it's just the same song over and over with a new title.
There is only one other band I think I've hated more. Ace of Base.
Yes, I just compared the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Ace of Base.
And I'm aware that there are people still alive who probably love Ace of Base. I can't imagine why. But I'm sure they exist. I'm willing to live in harmony with these people. I just don't want to hear that music every moment of every day.
So Mr. Kiedis, if you're reading this. STOP! No more. We concede. You win. We'll give you an award. Maybe even put you in the rock and roll hall of fame if you would please stop making music. Because frankly, I just can't take it. And if people really like your band, God help us all.
I think I'm moving to an island in the south pacific. Maybe there I can get a moment's rest. Then again, the next RHCP song will probably be BORABORAFORNICATION!
Just take me out and shoot me.

I have never been able to stand RHCP. I have even gone so far as to call radio stations and beg them not to play them. Down with Really Horrible Cunt Pussies!!!!!!!
Ah yes. I remember IT well. Really Horrible Cunt Pussies. They were known as 'the beatles' weren't they? I've also been known to BEG + PLEAD with radio stations to play them NO MORE. To no avail. A tad like the sunflowers and van gogh - they seem to think that any a/hole that can rhyme 'moon' with 'june' is a poet or a musician (or appear thus artistically) ! I'd laugh if that wasn't so revealing of mankind + it's lazy thought processes. How did those media-hype-money-grabbing-ex-bog-trotters EVER allow the beatles to happen. ? Almost as terrible as any Irish Dirge
