The other three Peppers to appear at a MusicaRes benefit, Anthony Kiedis to be honoured.
I generally did not want to post this news because I just know some of the comments will be quite bizzare and adding oil to the pan is a concept common to mass media and people who think the news of the day is when some famous girl’s bikini top slips for 1 cm…so, this news was posted due to peer pressure from all sides of the world. I kind of don’t care what you’ll write in comments; but if you’re looking for 1992, it’s 17 years ago. And some of the things people say will be more bizzare than this paragraph.
So…as per Broadway World:
The fifth annual MusiCares(r) MAP Fund(r) benefit concert will honor multi-GRAMMY(r)-winning Red Hot Chili Peppers co-founder and lead singer Anthony Kiedis, and it will take place for the first time at Club Nokia in Los Angeles on Friday, May 8, 2009. Kiedis will be honored with the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award for his dedication and support of the MusiCares MAP Fund and for his commitment to helping other addicts with the addiction and recovery process. All proceeds will benefit the MusiCares MAP Fund, which provides members of the music community access to addiction recovery treatment regardless of their financial situation.
Hosted by Greg Behrendt, comedian and author of He’s Just Not That Into You, the evening will feature a special performance by Kiedis along with Red Hot Chili Peppers bandmates Flea and Chad Smith, as well as performances by Thelonious Monster vocalist and “Celebrity Rehab” participant Bob Forrest with his son Elijah Forrest, musician/producer Josh Klinghoffer, the Mars Volta, the Neville Brothers’ Ivan Neville, and Iggy Pop. DJ AM will perform live during dinner. Additional artists will be announced shortly.
The whole article can be read at this address. And yes, there are general admission tickets for mere mortals, for 50$. And the event will be alcohol free.
