Story
In 1983 four self-described 'knuckleheads' burst out of the neo-punk rock scene in LA with their own unique brand of cosmic hard-core mayhem funk. Over 20 years later, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, against all the odds, have become one of the most successful bands in the world. Though the band has gone through many incarnations, Anthony Kiedis, the group's lyricist and dynamic lead singer, has been there for the whole rollercoastar ride.

Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities, I have decided to tell these stories just as I have always done, in my own voice. The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I’ve recorded and can’t wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child.

Fame can be addictive. From his early days videotaping crazy skateboard stunts to starring in the blockbuster Jackass franchise, there was little that Stephen “Steve-O” Glover wouldn’t do for attention. Whether it was stapling his nutsack to his leg, diving into a pool full of elephant crap, or routinely risking death invading the private lives of sharks, lions, tigers, and bears, almost nothing was out of bounds. And as the stunts got crazier, his life kept pace.

Virginia Grohl, mother of Dave Grohl, had not seen any of it coming. Not the arenas of screaming fans, not Nirvana or the Foo Fighters, not the induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and certainly not her son, Dave, performing with Sir Paul McCartney at the White House. Theirs had always been a life full of music - the Grohl family sang together on long car trips, harmonising to Motown and David Bowie - yet Virginia never expected her son to become a musician.

Publisher's Summary
The strange tale of a boy named Flea starts in Rye, NY. It was all very normal. But soon his parents divorced and his mother Patricia remarried a jazz musician. Flea's stepfather frequently invited musicians to his house for jam sessions which sparked Flea's interest in music. The family moved to Los Angeles, where Flea became fascinated with the trumpet, idolising musicians like Miles, Dizzy, and Louis.
But the family soon fell apart. 'I was raised in a very violent, alcoholic household,' Flea later said. 'I grew up being terrified of my parents, particularly my father figures. It caused [me] a lot of trouble later in life.' He began smoking weed at 13 and became a daily user of harder drugs. He was on the streets by 14 and soon after, met another social outcast and drug user named Anthony Kiedis. They formed a band that would become the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Acid for the Children is pure, uncut Flea, with nothing left unsaid.

My beloved RHCP just became even more precious.
Flea, is the best thing since jumping off rooves into swimming pools in Hollywood became a thing. My only disappointment was that he is no longer Aussie enough to refer to himself as an Aussie Kid. Instead he is a "skinny kid from Arstraleea".
But man I love him. What a unique, honest, true and pure soul.
A "must listen"!

If you didn’t think Flea could get any cooler… think again!
After reading Anthony Kiedis’ autobiography, ‘Scar Tissue’, I entered into Flea’s story with a curiosity to just know his perspective on Anthony’s outlandish tales.
I never expected to be given such a gift in this book. Flea illustrates an exceptional sense of ‘wordsmithery’, yet the true delight is his enthusiastic, and expressive narration. I had always admired Flea for his unapologetic punk leanings, and his interesting, and rich history, but Acid for the Children just stepped that admiration up tenfold.
Flea, I salute you, on a life well-lived, with undoubtedly much more to come! PLEASE bring out part 2!!!!

This book is a treat for those fans of the Funky Monks. Flea’s account of the earlier part of his life is generous and well structured in its narrative. I was highly impressed with Flea’s writing ability; the way he expertly writes and silkily delivers his words. He does not hold back the tribulations of what one would expect to be a fairytale life to greatness and delves in deep to the gritty underground life of the a vulnerable kid in LA.

Surprising, entertaining, insightful page turner
This is a rip roaring story of adventures and wildness with surprises and unexpected depth.
Whilst I like the Chilli Peppers music I didn’t really know anything about Flea prior to listening to this book and only got on to it through the recommendation of a friend and the title. Turns out that Flea is originally from my hometown of Melbourne and the tale begins with his early childhood.
His parents separate and he describes the relationship with his step dad Walter. Walter is at once a wildly unpredictable alcoholic and a source of inspiration for Flea through this dedication to his Jazz music.
The book is full of amazing stories and traces his life through different bands including Fear up to the first time RHCP perform.
I was surprised that the book really stops at the first RHCP song. It’s really about everything that happens up to his life until that point.
I liked best the entertaining stories of drug use but also how he then gives them up and goes cold turkey for three decades. It’s full of insights into spirituality and ultimately about a successful struggle with human weaknesses and insecurities.
Very entertaining and easy to read - this was a surprising and brilliant book!

Super sweet book. The tale of a sensitive boy.
It is a very sweet book telling the story of Flea's childhood, showing how sensitive he is and how his life was impacted by these events that later formed the man he became, which is where the book ends, just at the end of his adolescence, right at the beginning of the RHCP.
Being read by Flea himself, this is as immersive as it gets. You can hear his voice breaking during some particularly emotional passages, or mentioning special people in his life.
Before giving it a try, I was turned off knowing that the book was not about his time in the RHCP, but his childhood. Now, I'm just happy I got this sweet book by a sweet man.

Flea is an author
I absolutely loved this book! It moved me to tears, made me laugh and smile and feel all kinds of emotions. I listened to the audio book while reading the real paper version of the book as English is not my first language. Flea himself reads the audio book and he couldn’t have done it better. His voice is pleasant. Sometimes he starts crying and sometimes you can hear a smile in his voice, he adds funny voices, spooky laughter and even additional information that you can’t find in the paper version of the book! His tale about his own childhood is colorful, vibrant, painfully sad and engaging. Flea proves that he is not just some mediocre celebrity trying to write a book, he is a real author. He clearly has a talent for writing. His story is honest, his writing a true reflection of the public person he is: passionate, unique, loving, crazy, intelligent and energetic. But it never gets out of hand. Flea is in total control of his own writing, which is one of the things that impressed me the most. He knows how to add just the right words at the right time and then leave it there for the reader to take in. You can tell he is an entertainer. The book also shows a new side of him, more calm and reflecting: his ability to look at himself and admit his own flaws, his guilt, his shame, his fear and grief. Flea is obviously a ”whole” person. And he never gets boring. He fills you up with colors, emotions and new thoughts. I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys good writing and memoirs. I can’t wait to read more from Flea, the author.

What a beautiful real-life story
I’ve been a fan of Flea and the Chili’s since I first knew what music was. Thanks to my brother we would listen to all their albums before school, head banging in our towels. Flea’s writing and delivery is just perfect, and I simply loved it. This is the first memoir I have ever Audibled so I have no comparison, but that doesn’t matter - a virgin’s experience - it has opened my mind to listening to the memoirs of other people who grace(d) this earth.

Surprisingly Good. Flea tells his story well.
I was looking for the fast-food equivalent of an audio book, I did not expect the deep introspection and musical retrospection that the book invoked. Flea was not a likable young person but he narrates his story himself as a clean sober fifty seven year old who has reflected deeply on his behaviour and is grateful to have come out the other side.

Strange world
Struggled all the way through. Not enough info on each subject. The voice had no soul.
Just didn't enjoy it.
just an opinion. Other people may rave about it.
One screwed up puppy. Quite sad really

One of the best books I've listened to!!
I loved this book. Flea's honest words were amazing, and his narration genuine.
The breadth of his musical knowledge fills this listen as does his love of literature and nature.
The writing itself is fluid and articulate, perhaps learnt from the wealth of literature he has enriched himself with. I won't spoil anything, but this is a total recommendation!
