Red Hot Chili Peppers

Cache Owner Blink12oz takes us to a quadragenarian band, and a song now 30 years old.

It’s one of those blurry days, when the signs won’t focus, but you just keep driving.

Our trusty pilot gets us there. And yes, it does. It does yet wave.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers opened the music world in 1983, cooking up all flavors of rock, morphing into metal and rap. With 121 million records sold, they have pondered the meaning of life, love, confusion, and happiness, for teens who have now become parents and grandparents. As the transistor radio morphed to the Walkman to the smart phone, music spoke directly into the ear of a generation. The system’s a relative bore . . . I don’t know what’s true anymore.

Under the bridge you will find me, croons the hint. We are in the groove.

The river opens before us, flowing with the rains of autumn.

Bounty of wet leaves reaches socks and toes. Crunch downgrades to smoosh, in this downy duvet.

But we already looked there five times.

It’s hard to believe that there’s nobody out there
It’s hard to believe that I’m all alone.

It is hard to believe, when there’s always another log to sign.
