A bar in Baltimore, USA was named after one of John’s songs
(from Baltimore Sun) For years, Russell deOcampo wanted a way to combine his passions for art, live music, bartending and film. With his new club, the Windup Space, he thinks he’s finally found it. … THE NAME’S ORIGIN // It’s a song by John Frusciante. The song is about something a little deeper than selling booze and art to people. It’s just a name, really. But I think it’s catchy, and you can have all the cliches you want. ‘Oooh, I’m going to get wound up at the Windup,’ or, ‘I’m going to wind up at the Windup.’ There’s so much cheesiness. I can talk at length about it. If…

Frusciante’s return to the fold was confirmed by Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis when he stopped by MTV’s New York studios earlier this week, although there’s still no word when a new album…
