Channeling pain into creativity
Flea discusses how he learned to channel pain and emotions into his creativity, drawing inspiration from his turbulent relationship with his stepfather. Despite his stepfather's violent tendencies and drug addiction, Flea found a way to turn the pain he felt into something beautiful, much like his stepfather did with music. By pouring his emotions into playing the upright bass, Flea realized that creating music became a way for him to express and release the loneliness, rejection, anxiety, and panic he had experienced in his life.
