This song has wonderful memories for me even though it's so sad. Sometimes I listen to this song and cry. At other times, I listen to it and am in awe by the poetic skill of Anthony... I love the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

This was written about the life and death of Kurt Cobain and the effect he had on Anthony Kiedis

John Frusciante DOES NOT SUCK. He's amazing, even if he doesn't play metal or whatever shit you like. His parts are some of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard come from a guitar. And have you ever heard him sing? Dave Navarro wasn't bad, just different. I think many RHCP fans are too critical of OHM and Navarro. But don't diss Frusciante. Also, this is a great song musically and lyrically.
