Zadanie 3. Przeczytaj komentarze. Czy zgadzasz się z nimi?

• The Red Hot Chili Peppers are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1983. Their music incorporates elements of alternative rock, funk, punk rock and psychedelic
• The chorus was actually written by Flea, and the song’s based on an old gospel song “Jesus is my Aeroplane” that Flea listened to when he was younger:

Oh, Jesus is my air-o-plane
He holds this world in his hands
He rides along, He don’t never fall

He’s not religious in that sense any more, but he feels that music is his Aeroplane. it’s probably both about enjoying music and also drugs.

• If you pay attention, Anthony struggled with his drug addiction around this time. And a lot of the time, he would have upbeat music, but put depressing lyrics in it. In my opinion, he was calling for help. There’s a lot to it too. Like “looking in my rearview mirror, I can make it disappear”, is pretty much about Hillel’s death. And Anthony did drugs in his kitchen. But the whole band was there too, that they were too gone to pay attention to Anthony’s call for help. It’s what I see. This song has so much to it, I could go on and on.
• I believe this song is about drug addiction. During the relaease of ‘One Hot Minute’ Anthony Kiedis had slipped back into drugs as soon as he started making music again. He admitted it in numerous interviews, saying that replacing Hillel again made him depressed and he couldnt cope. Thats why he says he hated making One Hot Minute, because it brought up all his old pain about Hillel Slovak’s death.
• I love the Velvet Underground reference. “Sour Jane”.
• the dude who said flea’s daughter’s name ISNT Clara is a total moron. he said her name was claire. Claire is actually some chick anthony dated on and off during the “Californication” era.
• wow nobody pointed out that Mazzy Star refrence? The song is obviously about how Music is his addiction and he makes a refrence to singer Mazzy Star and her song “Into Dust”

Still falling
Breathless and on again
Inside today
Beside me today
Around broken in two
‘Till you eyes shed
Into dust
