This is precious.
Moi: So, what music are you listening to these days?
My 13 year-old buddy-o: I'm mostly into classic rock.
Moi: Nice! Like who?
My 13 year-old buddy-o: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Moi: Pshaaw!! They're *so* not classic rock. What album?
My 13 year-old buddy-0: Californication.
Moi: No, no, no... Mother's Milk. And immediately download BSSM. And lie when your parents ask how you found out about it.
My 13 year-old buddy-o: Sweet.
What can I say--I do what I can, where I can.

How did a band like RHCP go from being indy and edgy to boring mainstream so fast? I loved Blood Sugar Sex Magik... but the last three or so albums are ridiculous.
Give It Away... Breaking the Girl... Suck My Kiss. Now those were songs.
Now when I hear RHCP on the radio, I switch. What's the worst is when they are playing on 104.9 and 105.3 at the same time. CD goes in. Radio goes off.
Worse...they ended up as classic rock to tweens. Ugh! I was trying to explain what classic rock was, and how that was, like, the Eagles when I was in high school. Then, sadly, I realized that anything over 20 years old gets stuck in the classic rock category. By this definition..RHCP are classic rock. SOB!
Suck My Kiss. I LOVE that freaking song.
