Update!

In the unfortunate hiatus caused by Anthony’s operation, I’m using the time to update things and catch up- I’m currently working through my massive magazine collection and trying to either scan everything or re-scan earlier articles as I’ve now got a better than scanner and can make higher resolution images which are larger… I want to get every magazine online in some form by the end of this month- fingers crossed!

While I’m doing this, you might notice that the ‘Magazine Articles/Scans’ section is changing as I update scans or add new ones. I will also sort out ordering so scans run in chronological order throughout each section once everything I have is online and I can do that.

Sunday Independent Life Magazine

I’ve just uploaded two new scans:

Anthony Kiedis Q & A style interview from Rolling Stone back in July 2002

Sunday Independent Life Magazine– a long feature (although it seems to be a re-working of an interview that came out last year but it’s interesting all the same).

Here’s an extract:

Kiedis is sitting in the living room of an antique cabin on a hilly estate overlooking the Pacific where he is staying with Everly. Flea’s house is nearby; he and Kiedis both love to surf in these waters. Road Trippin’, on the Chili Peppers’s 1999 album, Californication, was written about one of their surfing holidays here.

“I get up when he gets up,” the singer says, describing a typical day at home with Everly. “I have breakfast with him, but I don’t make it. He has a nanny. My job is to tell stories to him while he eats. And he is demanding about his storytelling. If I try to get away with a
short one, no. We’re talkin’ full-length.”

Puzzles, reading, drawing and “backyard hide-and-seeking” usually follow. There is no television — the kind with “commercials and noise”, as Kiedis puts it. He and Everly watch “1930s animation together, a lot of films. But when he walks into a room where the television is on, he walks right by.”

Kiedis, who lives in Malibu, reserves a couple of hours every day for surfing. (Two years ago, after he was hospitalised with a gall-bladder crisis — “It literally erupted like a volcano inside me” — Kiedis spent his recovery riding waves.) He calls his current dating life “pretty much nonexistent”. As for marriage, “I don’t feel like I need it. Being a single parent is golden.”

Wishing Anthony Kiedis Well:

    Dear Anthony,

    I am one of your newest fans. When I heard the song “did I let you know” in my husband’s car one night I just loved the excitement that I felt. Later, I found out that this was the RHCP. I have since played every song from every album, downloaded all the ones that grew on me and now I am a true RHCP fan. We will be seeing you in Cleveland June 2, 2012 and am looking forward to seeing you guys live. Anyways, being a mom, I know, when you have this little person running about by your feet there are no words to describe. Write lyrics about him, not to be published but for his own scrapbook… write poems about those feelings that you feel… always make notes and do keep a diary…he will be so thankful when he is older. Never throw any of his stuff out – his elephant or drawings – let him decide when to toss it or when to keep it. Keep those cherished memories safe and add to them daily. Enjoy every second spent with this little guy. Looking forward to Cleveland. Ramona Shields, Dundas, Ontario, Canada.
