Kiedis, Anthony
Scar Tissue
The whole time he was doing all of these drugs he never lost sight of the importance of school. He really enjoyed school and was a good student. His teacher told him in middle school that he was a really talented writer and he says he never forgot that and probably was influenced heavily by it to write this autobiography. Although he would be incredibly high almost all the time outside of school he almost never did any drugs at school. He got good grades and went to a good college in California but he was unable to take care of himself or demonstrate any moderation after his childhood and dropped out mostly because of his drug use. He also writes that he just didn't get along with the teachers or the set up of college but i came to the conclusion that he was already to enveloped in the drug scene.
His musical career did not start with singing. He met his future bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers in high school, Flea. They became great friends and coke buddies and with the music scene to help influence them they began to inject coke interveniously. Their musical career got off the ground with a spontaneous one song show at a small club that people loved. From then on they climbed up the music scene.

Good entries--are you getting up this early every day to write?
Did you read Never Let Me Go, by any chance, as part of the summer reading? I ask because your idea of influences occurring in children before they're really aware of them is what Kathy talks about in NLMG--the clones were simultaneously told and not told because they were told at an age before they were old enough to understand.
