There’s a brief interview with Flea in Rolling Stone- you can read the whole article HERE

He talks about the need for the Silverlake Conservatory of Music and says that removing music education from schools is,’child abuse.’

During the interview Flea also reveals details of this year’s fundraiser for the SCoM. It will take place on September 9th at the Conservatory itself as the new building gives them enough space. It will also feature an art auction with works by Thomas Houseago, Alison Mosshart, Shepard Fairey, Ed Ruscha and Jonas Wood plus musical performances from Randy Newman, Anderson .Paak and, of course, the Red Hot Chili Peppers:

“We play it almost every year,” Flea says. “This year we’re going to play acoustic and we’re going to be joined by the children’s choir from the school.”
