I finally watched the RHCP’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and while it was awesome to see the Chili Peppers play (along
with Slash, et al.) my favorite part was Flea’s acceptance speech
(notwithstanding my always & forever crush on Anthony Keidis). Flea (along
with my man AK) is a fan of yoga, and when Flea spoke to the power of his
musical gift he seemed enlightened: “The burning intense desire that is inside
of me to play music, that has not diminished in the slightest, that has only
deepened as time has gone on; cause when we’re hittin it, when we are really
inside the groove, when we’re on, I’m lost man, and in that moment I am truly
free of everything and I am truly one with everything.”
It was inspiring to hear
that Flea feels truly connected to all beings when he’s pursuing his life’s
purpose. And in his speech he prefaces the aforementioned quote by saying that
his life’s mission is to uplift those around him. I think he’s truly successful.
Namaste.
