about his father “spider” anthony said,

“He introduced me to the arts, to a more culturally magnificent life, but some of it was this heavy, adult matter that I wasn’t quite capable of digesting. … It was a very rich but kind of challenging period of my life. I was thrust into this adult mentality by age 11.”

the show is tentatively being called, scar tissue, but is not related to kiedis’ book. the series will also showcase west hollywood and l.a. in the 1970’s, and the various rockstars that anthony and his father encountered there.
