Scar Tissue

I picked up this book by Anthony Kedis. He's the lead singer of Red Hot Chili Peppers. I totally recommend this book to everyone. It chronicles his struggle with sobriety. His message is a strong one, and it was a very good read. He finally became sober with the program, and all in all, its very uplifting.

I love the RHCP and that song "Under the Bridge" was all about doing heroin w/a Mexican gangmember under some undisclosed bridge.

I'll have to put this book on my "to-read" list, thanks.

It was kinda cool that by the end of the book, the whole band was sober. So much for having to have the "rockstar" life right?

I love the band too. There is alot in there about the inspirations for their songs too.

Thanks for the book suggestion - I was looking for something new to read - and I love memoirs by now-sober members. Right on!
