Cover art for Johnny, Kick a Hole in the Sky lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

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.
