Lil Nas X performed with a bevy of dancers at the Verizon Stage at BottleRock Napa Valley on Sunday, May 28. And you thought I was just writing about one of the most popular songs of the nineties? I’ve discovered the more you give away it makes this a less self-seeking world where relationships, conversations and knowledge of love are the key essence to our everyday survival.Starting with 2021’s “Montero (Call Me by Your Name),” he delivered a captivating hourlong show that pleased both devoted fans and casual followers, complete with an energetic performance of his 2019 breakout hit single “Old Town Road,” which still holds the record for the longest-running No. I am proud to say I currently subscribe to Anthony and Nina’s altruistic way of life. There is a little substance message layered within this funky rocker. Since I’ve been crooning the Chili Peppers first single, from Blood Sugar Sex Magik, to our cat Lucy, I’ve been rekindling my admiration for “Give It Away.” “Give It Away” is an anthem of unselfishness that was born from advice that Nina Hagen shared with Anthony Kiedis. Did you know Kiedis actually wrote a few lines in memory of his deceased friend River Phoenix who died while the Red Hot’s were recording Blood Sugar Sex Magik? Kiedis discussed honoring his friend when he wrote in Scar Tissue, “ River was around a lot during the writing and recording of our album, and I even wrote a verse about him in “Give It Away”: “There’s a river, born to be a giver, keep you warm, won’t let you shiver/His heart is never going to wither, come one everybody, time to deliver.” Even though “Give It Away” is an electric funky rock classic, there are nuggets of poignant lyrics sprinkled throughout. “Give It Away” is the perfect combination of Flea’s groovy, bass licks, John Frusciante’s funky guitar riffs Chad Smith’s pounding rock beat and Anthony’s rap like vocal making This Chili Pepper song a crossover number one hit.
Every time I’d be thinking ‘I have to keep,’ I’d remember ‘No, you gotta give away instead.’ Every time you empty your vessel of that energy, fresh new energy comes flooding in.” Although I do have belongings, having less possession is quite liberating.Nina’s wise words was a lesson that Kiedis never forgot, and one that’s essential in our material age, as he explained when he said, “ It was such an epiphany that someone would want to give me her favorite thing.
I’ve learned that most of our possessions end up owning us. I can relate it took years of desperately trying to hold on to my expensive cravings, things I could never afford or worse never needed.
