Cover art for This Is the Place lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

This is nothin to do with Kurt Cobain, the song that is written for him is called Tearjerker. This is purely about Anthony's drug addiction, and how he doesn't want to pass his problems onto his children, like his dad maybe did to him.

@torrance21 @torrance21 it’s about Hillel Slovaks death too. Both Kedis and Slovak were horribly addicted to heroin but Slovak never admitted how bad his problem was. Kedis and Slovak suffered several relapses and that’s what ended up killing Slovak. Kedis couldn’t even bring himself to go to his funeral. Years later he visited Slovaks grave and broke into tears and sobbed at his grave for hours.
