My grandmother asked me what I would like for my 14th birthday. I wanted
the newest CD from the Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik. I
hope she never saw the song titles and that she never heard any of the
songs. Sir Psycho Sexy. Wow! While most people bought this album for the
classic tracks 'Under the Bridge' and 'Give it Away,' I found a new
favorite in 'Suck My Kiss.' This is still my favorite RHCP track. I would see them once live in concert.
25 July 1999. I was at Woodstock. The Red Hot Chili Peppers was the
closing act to the 3-day festival. The following is an actual transcript
from the intro to that favorite track of mine - 'Suck My Kiss.'
Spoken by Anthony Kiedis:
"You know, I guess this is, uh, sort of a traditional affair now, 30
years, 25 years, the original, all that. There's a lot of traditions
that go around. You know some people like to play in the mud. Some
people like to take their clothes off. Some people like to, uh, smoke
pot when they come to Woodstock. Some people like to get blown in the
bushes when they come to Woodstock. Some people come with their mom and
dad when they come to Woodstock. And, there are a lot of traditions. The
point I'm trying to make is there's tons of traditions and, uh,
tonight, with a little bit of help from everybody, uh you know, in the
immediate, upper area here, uh, I gotta ask a small favor so you can
help me start a new tradition. Which is: during the course of the next
song, if every girl, you know, within distance, who happens to be
menstruating, with a tampon, could you please remove the tampon from
your menstruating vagina and toss it onto the stage, during the next
song. Thank you. I mean it."
