I'm reading anthony's autobiography right now (only at the part where he is just forming RHCP) and its really been getting me going. yeaghh dudeeee. you were so rock and roll, shooing up speedballs, going on crazy binges with flea in LA, nailing everything, starting a funk rock n roll band to express their crazy lives through music and doing it souly for the love;not to get sighned (because he was anti-everything including making money he claims), fighting (but never loosing a fight), and of coarse skateboarding ditches/banks because thats what u do when ur anti everything man.
"It was all about skateboarding and smoking pot. Some days we could get pot, and some days we couldn't. But we could always skateboard. Up to that point, all of my skateboarding had just been street skating for transportation, and jumping of curbs, basically getting where I had to go WITH A MODICUM OF STYLE IN THE WAY I RODE; really, it was as functional as it was anything else. In the early 70's, the sport started to elevate, and people were riding in drainage ditches and along banks and in emptied-out swimming pools. It was about the same time that the DOG POUND skaters in Santa Monica were taking skateboarding to a new, higher semiprofessional level. John and I were doing it for fun and challenge."

Just wanted to hear, from the people that actually read the book, if you think hes comes of a bit too much of a glory hound with all the wild stories in his book. He seems to be a bit to heavy on his own nuts. All the details on his youth seem way over aggerated.
