thoughts on the flea situation

Flea doesn’t really owe us anything. If you feel shortchanged that’s on you. Concert merch is always expensive, you’re going to pay $40-$60 for $2 tee shirt. If that’s a problem don’t buy shit at the concert. 90 minutes is an acceptable concert length. Sometimes they’ll play longer and that’s cool if they do. Flea might be a spiritual loving guy but that doesn’t mean he has to run around hanging out with every goofball who approaches him, and yeah he’s a millionaire, so what? Does he owe you because he’s rich and you’re not? Start playing the bass and try make some money instead of bitching that Flea doesn’t want to give you a handjob. Flea and the other members of the band don’t owe you any of their time or good vibes or their drum sticks. They’re not your friends and they aren’t obligated to hang out with you because you bought some CDs over the years and showed up at their concerts. II
