Anthony kiedis biography book5/11/2023 The way he, in his 40s when writing the book, describes meeting and sleeping with a child is disturbing. They played a show in New Orleans, and after, a “lovely young woman” came into their dressing room. It was not written in a tone that makes the reader think this was a bad thing - a literal crime - that happened. We could, but we can’t, because it does not read as if it was a mistake. We could chalk this criminal story up to Kiedis going over mistakes he’s made. He talks about various elements of his life, including his upbringing and drug abuse. Scar Tissue is a memoir about Kiedis’s past. What is less common is an artist writing out the encounter, fully dramatizing it, and admitting to not only sleeping with the girl again after she says she’s 14, she’s the daughter of a police chief, and she is technically “missing”, but also to later writing a sexually explicit song about said minor. Like the rest of the entertainment world, there are more than enough examples of rock artists’ sexual misconduct being an open secret. A sexual predator, a child predator, in the rock industry is not even remotely surprising at this point in history.
