Memoir post 1

• I chose Scar Tissue, by Anthony Kiedis mostly because I have heard great reviews and also I am a big fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I am very satisfied with my choice. It gave me more information about the Chili Peppers and the development of their bands, but mostly showed how crazy and reckless Anthony Kiedis's life was.
• Scar tissue is about Anthony Kiedis's life growing up with a drug dealing dad and a hippie mom, and moves on to growing his band known today as the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
• “I've wanted to feel pleasure to the point of insanity. They call it getting high, because it's wanting to know that higher level, that godlike level. You want to touch the heavens, you want to feel glory and euphoria, but the trick is it takes work. You can't buy it, you can't get it on a street corner, you can't steal it or inject it or shove it up your ass, you have to earn it.” This quote shows how reckless Anthony Kiedis was and how he would do anything to find that next drug. His writing style was pretty straight forward. He would tell stories about his life and describe how he looks back on it now.
• The book made me realize how reckless some peoples lives are. Living my entire life in boulder has made me sort of secluded to the rest of the world and it was very interesting to read about someones life that is so different than mine.
