Resourcefulness

Anthony Kiedis Resources-

1. Biography- Scar Tissue;

This is one of the best resources that I have for Anthony Kiedis, because it gives you the most important and life changing events that have happened in his life since he was born in 1962, up until around 2001. It gives pictures, references, tragedies and losses.

2. Interview- Rolling Stone;

At the peak of their success with the song "Under the Bridge", Rolling Stone featured the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the cover with a lengthy article about their success. The article heavily focuses on Kiedis, and how RHCP has been, what they're doing, and how come they're doing it.

3. Music- "Under the Bridge", "Scar Tissue" & "Knock Me Down";

These songs quite obviously symbolize drug use. Under the Bridge mentions a bridge downtown where he shoots up, and how the city has made him lonely. In comparison to both of the other songs, it shows the before and after of his drug use. Before he was under the bridge, and now he is singing "If you see me getting high, Knock me down" and singing about his scar tissue because of his past and how he has moved on.

David Bowie Resources-

1. Music- "Space Oddity";

No one had even dreamt of hearing a song about a junkie astronaut up in space, especially not in 1969 with the big bands like the Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and especially the Beatles. Space Oddity was the opening to two other songs David Bowie wrote; "Ashes to Ashes" and "Hallo Spaceboy".

2. Music Video- "Life on Mars"; ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v--IqqusnNQ )

This video is the absolute epitome of the David Bowie look. He wasn't afraid of what he looked like, nor was he afraid of what people would say. This is why David Bowie is one of my absolute idols, he is in his own world of creativity and love and make up and glamour.

3. Interviews- Rolling Stone (3 Q&A's);

They call him one of the best artist's of all time. These interviews all talk about intervals of his musical career, personal life and what he hopes to achieve in the near future. These are all heavily focused on his albums that were soon to come out.
