New York Times BestsellerA #1 LA Times BestsellerA USA Today BestsellerOne of NPR's "Favorite Books of 2019"The iconic bassist and co-founder of the Red Hot Chili Peppers tells his fascinating origin story, complete with all the dizzying highs and the gutter lows you'd want from an LA street rat turned world famous rock star. In Acid for the Children, Flea takes readers on a deeply personal and revealing tour of his formative years, spanning from Australia to the New York City suburbs to, finally, Los Angeles. Through hilarious anecdotes, poetical meditations, and occasional flights of fantasy, Flea deftly chronicles the experiences that forged him as an artist, a musician, and a young man. His dreamy, jazz-inflected prose makes the Los Angeles of the 1970s and 80s come to gritty, glorious life, including the potential for fun, danger, mayhem, or inspiration that lurked around every corner. It is here that young Flea, looking to escape a turbulent home, found family in a community of musicians, artists, and junkies who also lived on the fringe. He spent most of his time partying and committing petty crimes. But it was in music where he found a higher meaning, a place to channel his frustration, loneliness, and love. This left him open to the life-changing moment when he and his best friends, soul brothers, and partners-in-mischief came up with the idea to start their own band, which became the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Acid for the Children is the debut of a stunning new literary voice, whose prose is as witty, entertaining, and wildly unpredictable as the author himself. It's a tenderly evocative coming-of-age story and a raucous love letter to the power of music and creativity from one of the most renowned musicians of our time.

Flea, the iconic bassist and co-founder, alongside Anthony Kiedis, of the immortal Red Hot Chili Peppers finally tells his fascinating origin story, complete with all the dizzying highs and the gutter lows you'd expect from an LA street rat turned world-famous rock star.Michael Peter Balzary was born in Melbourne, Australia, on October 16, 1962. His more famous stage name, Flea, and his wild ride as the renowned bass player for the Red Hot Chili Peppers was in a far and distant future. Little Michael from Oz moved with his very conservative, very normal family to Westchester, New York, where life as he knew it was soon turned upside down. His parents split up and he and his sister moved into the home of his mother's free-wheeling, jazz musician boyfriend - trading in rules, stability, and barbecues for bohemian values, wildness, and Sunday afternoon jazz parties where booze, weed, and music flowed in equal measure. There began Michael's life-long journey to channel all the frustration, loneliness, love, and joy he felt into incredible rhythm.When Michael's family moved to Los Angeles in 1972, his home situation was rockier than ever. He sought out a sense of belonging elsewhere, spending most of his days partying, playing basketball, and committing petty crimes. At Fairfax High School, he met another social outcast, Anthony Kiedis, who quickly became his soul brother, the yin to his yang, his partner in mischief. Michael joined some bands, fell in love with performing, and honed his skills. But it wasn't until the night when Anthony, excited after catching a Grandmaster Flash concert, suggested they start their own band that he is handed the magic key to the cosmic kingdom.Acid for the Children is as raw, entertaining and wildly unpredictable as its author. It's both a tenderly evocative coming of age story and a raucous love letter to the power of music and creativity

Amaba a su perro. 
La vida lo levantó y lo sacudió por todos lados. 
A trompicones y tambaleándose, a ciegas y en una búsqueda constante, se enamoró de las cosas verdaderamente bonitas. 
Los corazones dulces lo calentaron con su brillo de amor. 
Otros corazones le fallaron. 
Se sentía desconectado y corrió por las calles buscando alivio. 
En el proceso hizo cosas que atenuaron la luz de su propio corazón. 
Una fría oscuridad de miedo creció en su interior. 
Pero en aquel lugar terrorífico, la Música, la Voz de Dios, le habló, diciéndole que compartiese su voz en esta tierra. 
Fue arrastrado por la gloria. 
―Flea 
En Acid for the Children, el icónico bajista y cofundador de Red Hot Chili Peppers transporta a los lectores a una gira profundamente personal y reveladora de sus años de formación, que abarca desde Australia hasta los suburbios de la ciudad de Nueva York y, finalmente, a Los Ángeles. A través de anécdotas hilarantes, meditaciones poéticas y vuelos ocasionales de fantasía, Flea cuenta la historia de su vida con todos los vertiginosos altibajos que se esperaría de una rata callejera de Los Ángeles convertida en estrella de rock mundialmente famosa, y narra hábilmente las experiencias que lo forjaron como artista, músico y persona. Su prosa soñadora, con inflexiones como de jazz, hace que Los Ángeles de los años 70 y 80 tenga una vida gloriosa, que incluye el potencial de diversión, peligro, caos o inspiración que acechan en cada esquina de la ciudad. Es aquí donde el joven Flea, buscando escapar de un hogar turbulento, encontró a su auténtica familia en una comunidad de músicos, artistas y adictos que también vivían en la periferia. Pasó la mayor parte de su tiempo de fiesta en fiesta y cometiendo delitos menores. Pero fue en la música donde encontró un significado más elevado, un lugar para canalizar su frustración, soledad y amor. Esto lo dejó abierto al momento de cambio de su vida cuando él y su mejor amigo, su hermano del alma y compañero de travesuras, Anthony Kiedis, tuvieron la idea de dar inicio a su propia banda, un grupo que se convertiría en los Red Hot Chili Peppers. 
Acid for the Children es el debut de una nueva y sorprendente voz literaria, tan ingeniosa, entretenida y tremendamente impredecible como el propio autor. Una historia tiernamente evocativa de la mayoría de edad y una estridente carta de amor al poder de la música y la creatividad de uno de los músicos más reconocidos de nuestro tiempo.\nBook Description\nLas memorias del célebre bajista y cofundador de la banda Red Hot Chili Peppers.
