    If ya ever needed someone to just sit down and listen, not just hear you, Flea seems like that guy. He is uncharacteristically sincere for a mega rock star. He is so appreciative of his blessings in life that after thirty years of fame and fortune he smiles like he just signed his first record deal! His humble nature sucks you in and his joy for life is contagious.

    “I’m just a student of music.” Amazing how humble he is after all the success. Flea is a good reminder to always stay grounded no matter how amazing others think you may be. He has obviously let none of the success go to his head which is incredible. He just wants to keep getting better and better.

      Flea doesn’t speak so highly about you.
      Mention your name and he just faceplams.
      Chad wants to hit you on the head with his drum sticks and Anthony says there’s nothing more dumb than a dumb person who thinks they’re smart. So he’s clearly not impressed with you either.
