ril. La scalata al successo di uno sregolato teppista di Los Angeles che è diventato un'icona del rock. Con uno stile evocativo che richiama le sonorità del jazz, Flea racconta gli anni che lo hanno formato come artista e come uomo, e attraverso aneddoti esilaranti, meditazioni poetiche e gli imprevedibili cortocircuiti della sua fantasia ripercorre le tappe che lo hanno portato dall'Australia alle periferie di New York per approdare infine a Los Angeles, una città che a cavallo degli anni Settanta e Ottanta è affascinante e al tempo stesso cruda, violenta ma anche inesauribile fonte di ispirazione. È proprio qui che il giovanissimo Flea, in fuga da un ambiente familiare turbolento, trova una nuova famiglia nella comunità di musicisti, artisti e tossici che, come lui, vivono allo sbando. Finché non scopre nella musica un significato più alto, un modo per canalizzare la frustrazione, la solitudine, i sentimenti. Ed è così che il destino, intrecciato in maniera indissolubile a quello dei suoi amici e compagni d'avventura, porta dritto alla nascita della band più iconica dei primi anni Duemila, i Red Hot Chili Peppers. Introdotto da una poesia inedita di Patti Smith, "Acid for the children" è una storia di formazione e al tempo stesso una lettera d'amore alla musica e alla creatività, il debutto di una meravigliosa voce letteraria, la cui prosa è brillante, selvaggia e imprevedibile come l'autore stesso.
La obra entrega una completa síntesis de la actividad artística del iniciador del teatro chicano contemporáneo. Su vínculo con la comunidad de la que surgió continua intacto, ya que, desde escenarios mas vastos, sigue tratando de mantener y dar a conocer la cultura y tradición chicanas.
