Flea

And it's a beautiful song.

I love it.

And then you take a song like Cherokee, best played by Clifford Brown and Max Roach.

And they're both very fast, very aggressive.

They both have a beginning, a middle and an end.

And they are both played by people yearning with every fiber of their being to make sense of the world that they live in.

But, you know, I love both and I'm studying.

But anyway, so yes, when I was a kid and I heard them playing that jazz, it just blew my mind and changed my life forever.

It was difficult.

Um, I, you know, when my mother and Walter, his name, you know, Walter, when they got together, um, it was really exciting at first cause you know, my dad was, was very much by the rules and every day was kind of the same and there were these strict, you know, codes of conduct that you did not break or you got the belt.

You know what I mean?

You didn't mess up.

You, you,

You never embarrassed yourself.

You never embarrassed the family.

You played by the rules.

And my dad was like a very, like, kind of prototypical 50s responsible man.

You know, you work hard, you wear your suit, and you get drunk at night.

And my father was an alcoholic all of his life.

But Walter, it was really fun.
