we played houston tonight and san antonio the night before
had a great jam at the end of the show tonight in houston
our friend josh kinghoffer jammed with us and it was a psychedelic
experience
whoo wee
tonight was the last night that we played with gnarls barkley
it was great to play with them
they had a great feeling about them
and a beautiful and unique kind of music
that cee lo really owns the stage and holds it down
we are lucky to play with great artists
love is a many splendored thing
when i drove up to the show i met 2 nice girls who has big angels
wings on that they made out of cardboard and newpaper
there names were carla and angelique and i got them into the show
i hope they had fun because they were glowing with goodness
now i am siting in the hotel room
and my wife and baby are sleeping and im gonna go to sleep
it is gonna be great
the beauty of a warm bed
ahh the great beauty
life is good
i am reading 'standing on the shoulders of giants' by kareem abdul
jabaar
it is a history book about the harlem renaissance which took place in
the 20's in harlem in new york in the united states
it was an incredible explosion of art and culture that happened for
a lot of reasons
great writers...........
some of it i knew about i and a lot i didnt it is so much fun and so
inspiring to read about
sometimes a guy can be proud to be a human being
when i finish it i'll say some more
anyways
time to brush my teeth and stuff

well i have not written a fleamail in a long time
i dont know why i just haven't
just not in the groove of it guess
we played tonight in des moines, iowa
i had a lot of fun....i injured my back on a trampoline about a week ago
and the last few shows have been painful for me
i did a backflip and just had too much momentum and just landed on my spine on a metal bar than ran along the circumference
ouch
so anyways, tonight it started feeling better and i felt more free on stage
a released kind of feeling so i felt free and good
anthony is battling a cold and it was hard for him
it is difficult to get better when you have to play all the time and travel around and put out a lot of energy
but if you look up the world trooper in the dictionary you will see a picture of anthony kiedis

things have been good for us overall lately
certainly we have been touring for this stadium arcadium record for a year now
and it is a lot
but the opportunity to connect with so many people over this last year has been fucking cool




yesterday it was so snowy when we drove from milwaukee to desmoines that we nearly didnt make it
but we did

i saw the greatest dvd today
a concert of art blakey and the jazz messengers from 1958
lee morgan on trumpet
benny golson on saxaphone
jymie merritt on bass
and boby timmons on piano
man it is so amazing to me
i think that is my favorite era of jazz and my favorite era and type of music ever that i know of
i mean there is so much music that makes me feel good in different ways
but that art blakey and the jazz mesengers in 1958 with lee morgan i think that it is my favorite
nothing can make me feel better i think if was stuck on a deserted island and could one dvd that would be it
especially if i had my trumpet too.........
and so amazed and so happy and so inspired
with spirit inspired with spirit inspired with spirit

i love you
