• In this Episode, Dave and Deb discuss the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the lyrics to “Under the Bridge”.  The show opens with stories about how the RHCP first came on their personal radars and how the band finally burst onto the music scene.  Why did it take so long in spite of the band’s long list of great tunes? And why are we talking about this one in particular?  In exploring  the lyrics to “Under the Bridge”, it seems that it may not exactly be about what most people think.  

Dave also addresses a blunder he made on the last show about the Ramones.    An honest mistake or just plain dumbassity?
