Johnny, Kick a Hole in the Sky

It's basically Anthony's feelings about how him and his people have been treated in America. He's saying someone should stand up to the government and protest and do something about the harsh treatments of the past/present. He also states that most of history is full of shit about Native Americans and he wishes no one would believe them. He also wishes that America wasn't seen on a pedestol (sp?) and of high glory, but rather for the truth.

In reply to Marky Markstyle -

Why are all you right wing nut jobs so paranoid? No one should "hide in embarrasment" about the massacre of native amercians. We should talk about it and what happened. And actually, most places "got their current people in them" by migration. That's when tribes go somewhere, like England, then settle down to live there. Of course there's always wars, invasions, etc. and that's why there is History - so we can learn why these things happened, and avoid them in the future.

yes, he has some native blood in him i believe. great interpretation, jookilicious.

Anthony is Mohican

yes anthony has some native american in him, can't you tell, just look at some pics of him from the early days, and it's kind of self explanitory, i mean look at all his "body beautification" tatoos, that represent his love for the native american culture. And duh he even says "Apache blood is in my heart, thrashin through me like a shark..." he's also mohican and lithuanian.

I know excactly what this song's lyrics refer to because I gave Anthony the title. My friends and I were on a patio in Toronto around 1987 and two first nations guys came up to us. One guy was incredibly hot...long black hair...gorgeous. Anyway we all bonded about being from Alberta, turns out they were Cree. One guy's name was Cody Cardinal and the really cute guy's name was johnny kick a hole in the sky. They joined our table and Johnny said "buy me a beer and I'll tell you how I strangled my first cougar!" (this was long before "cougar" entered the lexicon..he meant a real cougar, aka mountain lion) we all had a good time and for a while it was code among my girlfriends "Is he as cute as Johnny kick a hole in the sky?" Anyway, long story short the Chili Peppers used to play Calgary a bit and I told Anthony about this cute first nations guy I met in Toronto. I always wonder if the real "johnny Kick a Hole In the Sky" heard the song, and if he did, what he thought. HOw it came up is that Anthony asked me about first nations...I didn't know it then but it turned out I have first nations people in my family. Anyway, never liked the Chilis music that much by=ut thought it was cool that he rememberd the guys name I told him.

I think you've nailed the song right in the balls.

usually the funk/rap RHCP songs work really well, but this really ODs on rap and (sorry 2 say it about a chili song) metal. ah, well, there's two hundred other decent ones, so not to worry!

I think it is ridculous that we should hide in embarassment about how we founded this country. How do you think all the other countries got their current people in them. They were all probably at one point viciously taken over by non-indigenous people. Since America's take over was most recent, we get bashed for it. It is unfair. If you hate how our ancestors took over this land then get the hell off of it.

i think this song is so cool and is sooo true..these guys are so smart!
