Red Hot Chili Peppers

Kiedis is a revelation. Softly spoken and discreetly moustached, he allows just enough waspish camp (an aside about David Furnish is hilarious, but entirely unprintable) into his demeanour to completely deflate the macho, tattooed figure he inhabits in the bands photos and videos. When he turns to his new bandmate and asks if, in fact, he’s ever listened to Dr John, he comes across as a kindly uncle, concerned for the cultural life of his young charge. Klinghoffer, who looks more like 21 than the 31 he actually is, nods and snuffles. “I remember one show when my girlfriend walked on stage in the middle of the set while I was dancing with a naked girl,” Kiedis sighs. “She punched the girl out cold, then threw me down and tried to kick me in the balls. But I would not stop singing. We were playing Foxy Lady and I damn well finished the song!” Kiedis has the serene poise of someone who has done this for years, unlike Klinghoffer, who never stops moving. A blur of half-smiles, he absentmindedly chews his fingers and tug at his cuffs. I ask him if it’s intimidating joining such an enormous machine. “I’ve known the guys for a decade and this is what I’ve wanted to do for my whole life,” he says softly. “Although, if I think about the hugeness of it all, it triggers my anxiety.” “But you know, when Josh first played with us he walked into a tiny room full of instruments and amps,” Kiedis parries skilfully. “There was no record company or management company. It started off like a simple romance.”

A Jedi’s strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will - Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) | Irvin Kershner
