      If hitting high notes and singing loud makes you a good singer, Anthony would be considerd a terrible singer. Anthony is a good singer because his singing has emotion and isnt about showing what you can do but how you feel.

    Together we cry
    I drive on her streets
    'Cause she's my companion
    I walk through her hills
    'Cause she knows who I am

    And she kisses me windy

John started doing heroin once he quit the band. 3. This song is about when kiedis was a hardcore drug addict and his only friend was a connection of his named Mario. They went to the belmont tunnel aka the hole which goes underground under a bridge. Basically that day and time period was a low point in his life.
