Comment:

It's no coincidence that Flea is a vocal advocate for music education; he and his own bandmates are some of modern music's most serious students. At the dawn of the '70s, lead Stooge Iggy Pop tore off his shirt and tapped into a raw, primal scream of a sound on "1970" — a sound that rewrote the Rock Star Rules of Conduct from page one forward and gave Anthony Kiedis a few tips on just how to proceed. A few years later, Funkadelic's "Standing On the Verge of Getting It On" perfected a psychedelic funk-rock recipe that founder George Clinton would put to work for the Peppers when they brought him on as producer of Freaky Styley nearly a decade down the road. And at a time when hardly anybody outside the five boroughs had even heard the term hip-hop, the Sugarhill Gang laid down an infectious, tongue-twisting track in "Rapper's Delight" that transformed a generation into instant would-be MCs. With musical gurus ranging from Beefheart to Bowie and the Meters to Marley, the Red Hot Chili Peppers got schooled by the all-stars of all time.
