Doing heroine (or any drug) isn't exactly a new thing for musicians - it has always been around. No-one is going to dig up Jimi Hendrix from his grave and arrest him because he did drugs. And if Anthony Kiedis was/is homosexual (which I don't believe is true), so what? Freddie Mercury was as well.

If Anthony Kiedis was a Nazi, he would be racially inclined towards the Aryan race. What this means is that he wouldn't write songs against racism and he probably wouldn't work allow a black person to produce a RHCP album.

If Anthony Kiedis (or RHCP) treats women badly, why would they have a song about Dani California, where Dani California is the embodiment of all women? In this song, Kiedis calls Dani a priestess and says he loves her - he doesn't sound like a sexist abusive person.

It sounds like you're using stereotypes for satanism. Go to www.churchofsatan.com, and you'll find that many stereotypes about satanism aren't true.

Regardless, it doesn't change the fact that they're an incredibly awesome band - and it's about the music. It doesn't change the fact that Flea is an incredible bassist (and trumpet player). It doesn't change the fact that Frank Zappa wanted to hire John Frusciante for his incredible skill. And it doesn't change the fact that they've influenced huge bands such as Rage Against the Machine, Incubus, Primus, Mr Bungle, Pearl Jam, Infectious Grooves and Sublime.
The nazi sh*t is just for shock value... Similar to what The Sex Pistols did in the 70s.

Anyway, this rocksy fellow is hilarious, yet another dude who confuses rock stars personal lives for being a reason to say their music sucks.

Also.

Incubus <3<3<3
