This is the true story of how I met Flea, bass god of Red Hot Chili Peppers. Give it a listen.
Yes, I’m an LA native. Born in the heart of the San Fernando Valley. I’ve never lived too far away. Ventura County for a year, Vegas for a year, I never stray too far lol. I love it here. I’ve thought about moving out of state when I buy a house next year with my kids, but not sure yet.Thank you for sharing.
Ordered two tickets for a day at a Jazz festival in Antwerp at the end of May where Flea is scheduled to be performing with his band Honora. Or is it his Honora Band?
I'm taking my Belgian friend (Dutch here), who like me has grown up watching Mtv Europe, but, unlike me, records his own music.
Never been to the West Coast, but I was living with an American Video-artist who had once edited a famous movie/documentary in the early eighties at Venice Beach, and had used that address while staying in Amsterdam where he found me. I need to go there at some point.
I was wondering how you live there.
Are you still in L.A.?

Yeah he was super sweet and kind and humbleGreat story, thanks for sharing!
I did get this vibe from him when I read his autobiography in 2020.
He seems like a very genuine person despite some of the creepy shit that the RHCPs got up to with women back in the day.
Thank you so much, I really loved reading thisFlea, He's the best Laker fan IMO; most likely the most wholesome guy ever to take the stage with the RHCP.
Forgive my random recollections Central California, from way back when. Born in Oxnard, ghetto gangland at the time. "Colonia y que" slogan from an avenue to avoid.
Going down to LA county or the Valley was always an adventure. Surfing the LA county line or eating with the bikers at Neptunes Net.
Seeing Bruce Springsteen or Rolling Stones at the Collesium. Clogging the old coke bullets from my vivid recollection.
The Grateful Dead would roll thru Ventura County Fairgrounds every year. Always found someone to drop liquid LSD on our naive tongues at say 16 years old. Also Grateful Dead record covers 4 hit blotters were also going around.
Had crazy grad night at Disneyland; before there was even a Santa Clarita as a kid we would go to Magic Mountain to ride the rollercoasters. Wasn't even Six Flags or whatever back in the day.
Was cool living there; between Somis and kraprooM, on the hwy 118. Before it exploded into an extension of the valley Moorpark was rural af.
Now priced out forever; but don't regret leaving with my family to somewhere more affordable, Central Oregon.
Too bad the prices for houses are insane now. Even here but not SoCal crazy.
I was living in Oxnard when the big earthquake hit the SFV; even around 1990 it was fact the Porn studio capital of America.
born in Oxnard; in 1968 what a name for a gentrified ghetto
"Colonia y Que" was pure a gangland slogan; my mom taught at Oxnard High.
I was just high in Camarillo. She taught there too. She called her 9th grade remedial math students "Drippos"
Then after college in Santa Barbary I did farmers markets in Montrose, Pacific Palisades, Encino, etc. from a farm in Goleta. Until 2005.
Also Malibu, Santa Monica, Redondo Beach
Was always a fan of central Cal myself; anywhere north of LA unless it was going there to concerts or to make money selling Veg; never vag tho. LOL
Ex-Wife from Santa Maria; best friend from college lives in Cambria which is still pretty rad.
Keep the stories coming, Lola Foxx!
