Acid For The Children: A Memoir

The description contains some claims that the book is 'pure, uncut Flea, with nothing left unsaid,' which may not be suitable as a factual description. Removing that line for neutrality, the cleaned description is:

The strange tale of a boy named Flea starts in Rye, NY. It was all very normal. But soon his parents divorced and his mother Patricia remarried a jazz musician. Flea's stepfather frequently invited musicians to his house for jam sessions which sparked Flea's interest in music. The family moved to Los Angeles, where Flea became fascinated with the trumpet, idolising musicians like Miles, Dizzy, and Louis.

He was raised in a very violent, alcoholic household. He grew up being terrified of his parents, particularly his father figures. It caused him a lot of trouble later in life. He began smoking weed at 13 and became a daily user of harder drugs. He was on the streets by 14 and soon after, met another social outcast and drug user named Anthony Kiedis. They formed a band that would become the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
