Flea plays bass for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, one of the most popular bands in the world. He's a really interesting guy. He was a trumpet prodigy as a child before becoming one of the most technically proficient musicians on earth. He is known for his quirky personality and energetic/insane devotion to his craft. At least once, he was slapping his bass so hard at a show that he wore a hole in his thumb, which he naturally filled with Super Glue.
He loves basketball and has supported the Los Angeles Lakers since he moved to the United States at age 5. As it happens, he is arguably the most entertaining sports bloggers in the world.
Flea on loyalty: "as a dead serious laker fan i consider every other team and player my enemy no matter how good of a player or team they are and no matter how cool of a person they may be, they are my enemy."
Flea on Lamar Odom: "what a great all around player, that mischievious scalliwag. i am so glad he did not get traded for jermaine oneal, i love that guy even though he eyeballs my wife at every game we go to."
Flea on the Pau Gasol trade: "wow, i am still getting bursts of flotacious excitement over this trade for gasol.... i was in a vintage eyeglass store in pasadena when i found out and nearly trashed the place with a joyous jig of pure elation."

hey, flea was also in the original back to the future. you know, at the end when marty is taking his new truck that biff just got done waxing out for a spin. then they race.
Of course I know that! I live and breathe, my friend.
His work in Part II was groundbreaking, as we've established... but he was also great in the first one. My favorite part was when Marty pulled up to him in the car, and he acts as if he's gonna race Needles and his friends, and Needles gets all excited and pounds the steering wheel and can't even help himself from tapping the gas.
They really dropped the ball by not making a Part Four before Marty McFly got all hopped up on goofballs.
