Scar Tissue- Anthony Kiedis pg 1-138

Anthony Kiedis's memior "Scar Tissue" is something every red hot chilli peppers fan should read. I've been a fan forever, never really knowing the extent of Anthony Kiedis's drug problems. The lead singer recalls inciting incidents from his life, including early childhood memories of his father. The book starts out with him getting beat up while waiting for his drug dealer in a car, then waking up in his van on the way to another show.

The whole book is so rock'n roll, but not in the cliche way. He tells his stories in a way that make them not only funny, but endearing and sincere. I love the pictures too! Its an inside look into the life of a rocker..but not only a rocker, a total druggie. Which is kind of what is sad about his life. However, I do know that he has cleaned up his life some since the times these stories are recalled from. Definantley a great read, even if you aren't a Red Hot Chilli Peppers fan!
