I realized last night that I haven't told the whole story about Anthony "I'm a douchebag" Kiedis shooting me down for a picture at Sundance. Not only did he say no, but he did it in such a douchebaggery way it makes me want to punch him in the face. The funny thing is that I could give a crap less about Anthony Kiedis in general (OK, OK, I'll admit I thought he was sexy back in the day - don't judge me), but now I'm all fired up.
So, there he was, walking down the street, when I said, "Anthony, make I take a picture with you?" To which he replied, "I thank you, but no." Now, before you go getting all uppity and ask what's the big deal, saying no wasn't the problem. People can say no, that's fine.
Well, it's not fine, I'm going to mock them when they do, but still, it's their right. That wasn't the worst part. As he said, "I thank you," he put his hands together and BOWED. That's right. Hands together, a bow, and then to add insult to injury, he said, "but no" with TWO THUMBS UP. Are you kidding me? Let's recap:
Hands together
"I thank you" as you come up from the bow
and then "but no" with two thumbs up.
I wish I had a video of it (although Heidi, Hiba, and I are pretty good at recreating it at the drop of a hat for anyone to see). In conclusion, hands together + bow + two thumbs up = Anthony Kiedis is a certified douchebag. The end.

Please note that this post was written two years ago, so calling me names now for something I wrote back then is uncalled for. At the time it was how I felt. I've since met Anthony and he redeemed himself, which I wrote a follow-up post about. Calm down.
I think the whole band in general in general are probably douchbags but yeah I have met him and can't stand him now. I was a RHCP fan back in 1988 through about 1990 or 91. Don't like the later albums at all past Mother's Milk because that is the last album before they sold out completely.
