"doing drugs like some people do"

hilarious

Flea will be remembered soley for his hatred of TISM and the RHCP will be long forgotten.

[parathem]

Flea never got the meaning of this song, and neither does Anton.

[Sirgreaseflick]

He's so progressive, the drugs and music are one and the same, though I'm sure Anton could make beautiful music if he lived on Lentil burgers alone. The point is: Anton gets TISM because he's a part of that ethos. His music will endure; he's mercurial, out-there, and too fucking cool for mass commercial consumption. If you can't dig it...get a fucking shovel. Long Live Anton and TISM!!!!

[binnybones]

Fab intro. He's a smart man and its a joy to listen to him.

[djAbrasive]

Blawha bluhblah ba. Eehs bu babloblawha. He is fucking wrecked man.

@karsown He's not a drunken idiot, he's a drug addled maniac, there's a difference.

[juntadeluxe]

@karsown TISM are gods!! They make godlike music.

It's a shame they never toured the US. They do have a sizable following here.

@delmarian The rich kid becomes a junkie, the poor kid an advertiser, what a tragic waste of potential, being a junkie not so good either.

[karsown]

Tism is horrible. They make horrible awful music. This guy is a drunken idiot

[delmarian]
