Yeah, I think that I would rank that song pretty high in the Red Hot Chili Peppers canon. It’s definitely behind “Scar Tissue,” “Knock Me Down” and “Higher Ground,” and it’s probably right alongside “Soul To Squeeze.”
Okay song, used to love the Chili Peppers, and I still like some of their songs, not any I LOVE though.
I realized they are not the greatest band. I also think plenty of other bands from the same era have their own distinct sounds, not just the Chili Peppers.
Anthony Kiedis has a thing for singing about states, especially California.
On the radio show “Loveline” with Dr. Drew and Mike Catherwood, there was a segment on which celebs you had sex with. Well a woman called and mentioned that she and Kiedis had sex back in the early to mid-90’s, and Mike jokingly asked her if he sang “California” to her while they were going at it.
Funny!
