Red Hot Chili Peppers | Especially In Michigan
I have a connection to Michigan. I was born in that state. I grew up until I was 11 in that state. There is something kind of off-the-beaten path and magical about the magic and the medicine that are Michigan. There’s a lot of the mundane. There’s a lot of the unfortunate sort of strip-mall-reality mentality. But if you get out in the woods and out in those lakes and rivers, under those skies, there is a great sense of strength and wonder that on a poetic level I can sort of tap into from time to time. That song started with just a title. I just liked the word combination of “Especially in Michigan” as a title because it just suggests something different as a song. — Anthony Kiedis
