Californication, Red Hot Chili Peppers, 1999 Warner Brothers

You didnt have any other context to go by. There was a lyric posted, that had no metaphors.
You can't just extrapolate, there is either a metaphor or there isn't.

Its okay though, they teach you what a metaphor is in 7th grade, so you'll know in a few years...I'm still learning. :o:
 
Music can't be quantified like that. I just feel that I prefer Mother's Milk.

Magic Johnson is a mostly average song, but it has one of my favourite riRAB ever in the second half. Stone Cold Bush is my equally favourite RHCP song. Higher Ground and Fire are both great covers. Pretty Little Ditty is beautiful.

It has a great range of songs. Despite being in their crazy funk phase, apart from the above songs, they had great slower songs like Taste the Pain and Sexy Mexican Maid.

The basswork is better than Cali's, the guitarwork isn't as good and I love the presence of Flea's trumpet.


In this comparison, I'm ignoring bonus discs, as those tend to differ from country to country.
 
Doesn't say anything about cancer in the part you posted. It was a just a bunch of metaphors with very little meaning. What might I ask is the point of the Patrick Wolf line.
 
Besides the point.

The implicature of the statement is a stereotype of black people as funky, or that they are somehow inherently more funky. That's a small-minded pigeonholism and a racialistic undertone.

Aside from the statement implying a stereotype of black people and thus displaying incredible ignorance, it is also wrong for the following reason:

there ain't NOTHING the slightest funky about Anthony Keidis and his lameass band.
 
No he was speaking in context of the entire band. Only later did he say there later stuff.

He is a little right (and i stress a little) wen talking about the last 10 years of there music but before that it would be plain stupid to say they were not a funk band.
 
The point was kinda that it doesn't make much sense to call them the funkiest bunch of white guys on earth in the context of them having firmly become a mainstream rock band. In fact it just sounRAB downright ridiculous. What's more, as I've commonly found, generally the fans of their later material don't even LIKE their funk stuff and only like the Chilis for their cookie-cutter pop rock. Yet you still find them referring to them as "funk" and "funky". Just makes ya laugh.
