Here are some exciting news at last! Believe it or not, Anthony Kidies, a Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman is developing a series for HBO based on his unconventional, rock ‘n’ roll childhood.

Kiedis has partnered with Catapult 360 partners Marc Abrams and Michael Benson to create the series, tentatively titled “Scar Tissue.”

Abrams and Benson are scouting for a writer to pen the script, which will center on Kiedis’ relationship with his father, Spider, who sold drugs and mingled with rock stars on the Sunset Strip, all while aspiring to get into showbiz.

The show will begin with young Kiedis moving from Grand Rapids, Mich., to West Hollywood to live with his dad. But Kiedis’ father, having been raised in a tyrannical household, decided to go to the other extreme.

“He introduced me to the arts, to a more culturally magnificent life,” Kiedis told Daily Variety. “But some of it was this heavy, adult matter that I wasn’t quite capable of digesting. … It was a very rich but kind of challenging period of my life. I was thrust into this adult mentality by age 11.”

“To be able to look at a very famous figure and get an origin story, to see the pieces of the puzzle that put him on the path to fame — it became very clear that this was a special project,” Abrams said.

The show will also center on West Hollywood and Los Angeles in the early 1970s, including the rock stars encountered by Kiedis and his father (who, according to lore, was a drug dealer for the Who and Led Zeppelin, among others).

Kiedis plans to be heavily involved in the project and is regularly corresponding with his father, who now lives in Portland, to record memories of their life 30 years ago on Palm Avenue in West Hollywood.

“I love mulling over all this raw material,” he said. “(My father’s) into it too. He sees it as our last great hurrah. For us to be reconnecting to construct these memories — the women and the rock bands and the doormen of these clubs — is exciting.” Kiedis also is mulling the possibility of narrating the show (which is being developed as an hour long drama with comedic elements) and even making cameos from time to time.

Now that is something new, and something exciting to say the least. I am really looking forward to this and I honestly hope they will make something good out of the whole thing. Oh, and by the way, if you haven’t read Scar Tissue yet, go ahead and do it

It seems like this is a birthday season, so I’ll grab my opportunity to wish a happy birthday and all the best to our dear Red Hot Chili Peppers’ frontman - Anthony Kiedis!

And, as you may already expect me to, I am posting a video… Well, two videos this time. The first one is The Best Of Anthony Kiedis, and it’s a must see, containing all the crazy things that he did during his career (well not all, of course, but the most interesting things)! The other one is just a little tribute, with Anthony’s photos and Charlie played in the background. I hope you enjoy both!

Well, since I already started wishing birthdays here, I thought it would be bad to let Chad’s birthday go by unnoticed! So happy birthday Chad, I hope you have the best one yet!

And here is a little tribute to Chad Smith for you to watch. It contains some very interesting photos of the greatest drummer and the music in the background is The Greeting Song, of course, by the Red Hot Chili Peppers!

As there is nothing new to report (and I doubt there will be anything any time soon, at least when it comes to the band) I just wanted to wish a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Flea. Yes, the greatest bassist of all times was born today, back in the 1962. Best wishes Flea!

Here is a cute little tribute with crazy Flea photos and Funky Monks song by red Hot Chili Peppers playing in the background. Enjoy!
