Qualification to The Lucy Museum of Musicians who deserve entry to Lucy's Museum of Musicians is they must have a minimum of three songs which would make me turn up the radio if they came on.
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Qualifying Songs: Give It Away, Road Trippin, Scar Tissue,
Their appearance in the Museum is helped by the fact that Anthony Keidas is so damn handsome but the Chilli Peppers seem to fall between brilliance and meh but they are always fun.
Apart from 'Give It Away', it is the more serious grown up songs after the band cleaned up it's act and a couple of trips to rehab that get them turned up on my radio.
The lyrics to 'Give It Away' seem blatant enough, 'What i got you got to get and put it in you' doesn't leave much room for manoeuvre although i have heard Keidas say it was about selflessness and altruistic behavior but then the video with the camera angles and close up's of groin areas doesn't scream altruism to me although a close up of Keidas's love plums is always welcome.
'Road Trippin' is a slower acoustic number and was only released in Europe while 'Scar Tissue' marks the line where the Band shifted to their new mellow guitar riffs and a softer sound and both are beautiful songs and a good example of a band growing and getting better as they mature and knock the taking of industrial amounts of heroin on the head.
