Listened to an interview with the band and Howard Stern last night.

These guys are workers. The play their music hard, day after day. They hit the rehearsal room and work.

The things we see – the shows and the energy – are the peak of their powers. Day to day, these guys are trying new things. Making mistakes, ploughing through new stuff and finding the gold.

Flea said that when they go on stage for any show, they go at it as if there’s an axe murderer waiting for them the minute the show is over who’s going to kill them all.

They burn the boats. They crucify on stage, killing it. The crowd receives the sacrifice of their energy.

Anything you want to do well could benefit from the same approach.

Don’t complain that things aren’t working out for you unless you attack them in the same way.
