Reading Reflection #6

Book: Scar Tissue
Author: Anthony Kiedis

I am close to halfway through the book and I am still enjoying it. At the part I'm at, Anthony Kiedis is really focused on his music career. But, being focused on that doesn't mean he isn't also focused on drugs and alcohol. I know I say this which every reading reflection but I am constantly surprised that he is still alive right now. I could never imagine being in a band like that. Especially with someone like him, he would skip rehearsals, sometimes even live shows, and still continue in the band. He'd party until the sun came up and then sleep under the seats of their tour bus all day and then do a show at night. That would take such a toll on a persons body. But I guess when he started to feel the exhaustion, he did more drugs to take away those feelings. At this time in the book, Anthony has a girlfriend named Jennifer. Not that that matters, he still cheats on her constantly when he's on the road. He says he's in love with her but it's hard to believe when he treats her like that. He also stays at her house with her family when he isn't on tour. If I were her parents, and had this random guy sleeping on the couch, eating the food, sneaking in at all hours of the night, I don't think I would be very happy about their seeing each other.

I would give some predictions on what is to come in the book but everything is so unexpected I really can't predict anything. I just predict I'll continue to like the book. That's a pretty safe prediction.
