And I have a few friends that I think would go to bat for me no matter what. Flea is definitely one of them. Guy Oseary is one of them.
I like the idea of defying the convention of what it is to be in your 40s, or 50s, or 60s.
I would have to say the person with whom I am most in love is definitely my son, Everly Bear. Although I'm his dad, I'm also his friend.
I know whatever my father did, in his own way, he still loved me.
Sometimes life's so much cooler when you just don't know any better and all the painful lessons have not hammered your head open yet.
As a father now, I wouldn't do what my dad did, because it left me feeling emotionally unstable as a kid. But he didn't do the things he did out of selfishness or malice.
I was a little self-centered gutter punk in the early 1980s and all I wanted to do was diss everybody.
The fact my relationship with my son is so good makes me forgiving of my father and also appreciative.
