I am currently on page 240 0n and there gutiarest Hillel has just died from a drug over dose. This just shows that all of the partying that this band has endured has finally caught up to them. Maybe now the band will stop with all the drugs and partying. I think that this will smarten the band up and they will be about the music. The drugs are what is holding the sucsess of the band back. Hillel death could have been a good thing for the band because they will learn from his mistakes and will become one of the best bands in the world.

I am starting to realize why Anthony Kedis wrote this book. This is just to teach the kids of today that you do not have to be a stoner or a drugy to be cool. The way that he words this book is a way that he is trying teach the reader what not to do. He usually talks about his past a dumb desisions that he regrets.

I am currently on page 210 and the band has just started to tour and try to get there band out there. After reading only half the book so far it makes me wonder how a band into so much drugs can make it big like the Red Hot Chili Peppers did. At this point in the book it makes me feel like Anthony would choose his drugs over his band and music. I imagine that just having one person into drugs in a band would be tough but having all of them would be the hardest. If I did not know anything about the RHCP this would make me think that Anthony will never give up drugs and will never be the star that he wants and will just die from the drugs. Not only is the drugs destroying the band but this is hurting all of Anthony relationships from his mother and father to his girlfriends from the past ones that he had to the present. The reason that i really like this book is the fact that it just shows the real world and the damage that drugs can cause and it makes you wonder if you ever start can you stop?
