FLEA GETS SCHOOLED

I'm a huge fan of Flea and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. I was surprised to read that he enrolled at the University of Southern California at Los Angeles to study music theory, music composition and jazz trumpet, all things one would figure he already was pretty solid on. But good for him: he has enough punk and funk in him to prevent him from turning into the Yngwie of the bass. I'm bummed that the Chilis won't do anything for a while, but I guess they need the break.
