News:

OCT 27: A group of 16-year-olds in Denmark need your help to prepare a report on what's important for young people all over the world! They're asking you all to answer a short survey at http://tiny.cc/HZ0fX before Oct 31. Do NOT miss this chance to help other students, it'll only take a couple of minutes!

OCT 08: As we're now announcing our wiki in several educational communities with members all over the world, and inviting them to leave comments on our work, I've changed the settings so that threads can be posted anonymously too. I hope this won't mean spam or inappropriate messages, or we'll have to go back to requiring those willing to comment to sign up! Pls let me know immediately if you notice any inappropriate contribution. And remember it's your duty to reply to those comments you get!

SEPT 03: It is possible to delete threads by clicking on the subject line and then selecting the appropriate option under "Manage this thread". So... don't worry about getting messages you don't like. We can always delete them later! :-) Notice, however, that once deleted there won't be any track of them: pls do NOT delete threads before getting the author or your teacher's consent!!!

By AUG 28TH (Thurs):
Everybody should have commented on a minimum of 2 pages by 2 different partners, and replied to comments received. Be polite!
Also, if your page has been checked, edit mistakes marked. Do you want to make other changes? Go ahead!

General comments:

A. Good webpages should not be longer than 4 screens (this is an unwritten rule). Why? People rarely look below that! So, if your page is too long, you can either:
1. If you've included many images: consider resizing your photos (remember their purpose is to support your text, this is not a photoblog) and choosing the best possible alignment (placing text next to the photo as well as above and below). You can also use Wetpaint widgets for creating a slideshow with your pictures (this has the advantage of adding some movement to your page).
2. If your text is too long: create sub-pages for sections of the content (see John Frusciante's discography as an example), and hyperlink to them from your main page.

B. Choose fonts carefully, thinking of the effect you want to create on your reader. Be systematic in your use of font type, size and colour. It's better to stick to ONE type for main text and variations of that type for titles and subtitles.

Way to go!

Some Regina's Lyrics (Gladys request)

Love Affair

There was a love affair in this building
the kind of love affair
which every respectable building must keep as a legend
Slowly festering through an innocent by the way
or have you heard
he was perfect except for the fact that he was an engineer
and mothers prefer doctors and law-yers
Yet despite this imperfection
he was clean looking and respectable looking
and you'll never find a mother
who doesn't appreciate a natural man
So he grew healthy aloe Vera plants by the window
healthy teeth in his mouth
healthy hair on his head
He grew healthy wavy brown hair on his head
the kind that babies always go for with sticky little fingers

The Flowers

The flowers you gave me are rotting and still I refuse to throw them away.
Some of the bulbs never opened quite fully
They might so i'm waiting and staying awake.
Things I have loved i'm allowed to keep
I'll never know if I go to sleep.
The papers around me are piling and twisting regina the paper back mummy
what then.
I'm taking the knife to the books that I own and chopping and chopping and boiling soup from stone.
Things I have loved i'm allowed to keep.
I'll never know if I go to sleep.
Things I have loved i'm allowed to keep.
I'll never know if I go to sleep.

Ode to divorce

The food that I'm eating is suddenly tasteless
I know I'm alone now, I know what it tastes like
So break me to small parts, let go in small doses
But spare some for spare parts, there might be some good ones
Like you might make a dollar I'm inside your mouth now
Behind your tonsils, peeking over your molars
You're talking to her now...
And you've eaten something minty
And you're making that face that I like
And you're going in, in for the kill, kill, for the killer kiss, kiss for the kiss, kiss
I need your money, it'll help me
I need your car and I need your love [x2]
So won't you help a brother out?
Won't you help a brother out?
Won't you help a brother out, out, out, out, out?
So break me to small parts, let go in small doses
But spare some for spare parts
You might make a dollar, dollar, might make a dollar
So won't you help a brother out?
Won't you help a brother out?
Won't you help a brother out, out, out, out, out?
So break me to small parts, let go in small doses
But spare some for spare parts, there might be some good ones
You might make a dollar
(There might be some good ones)
There might be some good ones
(You might make a dollar)
You might make a dollar
(There might be some good ones)
There might be some good ones

Bonham formed his first band, Terry Webb and the Spiders. It was at this time that Bonham decided to devote himself to music as a profession. He joined several bands little succesful bands, such as Blues Crawling King Snakes, where was singer Robert Plant. During this period, Bonham gained reputation as the noisiest drummer throughout England. On one occasion he was assked to leave the Birmingham Studio because he played too strong to be borne by owner who even told him that there would be no future for a drummer like him. Ten years later, the owner of the studies received a note which read "Thanks for the career advice..." being accompanied by a gold record of Led Zeppelin. Along with Robert Plant, Bonham played with some underground bands until Tim Rose formally invited him to be the drummer on tour of his bands.

Career as drumer of Led Zeppelin.

When Jimmy Page wanted to form a new band fol lowing the breakdown of The Yardbirds, as his first option was singer Terry Reid, however Reid was working with Mickie Most. Reid suggested Robert Plant, who suggested Bonham, and John Paul Jones. After seeing Bonham playingfor Tim Rose in Hampstead, London, in July 1968, Page and Peter Grant (representative of the group) were convinced that Bonham was indicated. His drum solo called "Moby Dick", was about 30 minutes and he played without sticks to achieve new sound effects. In tours of Led Zeppelin who came after 1969 expanded its kit, including congas, timbales and symphonic gongs.

I think people are born bisexual, and it's just that our parents and society kind of veer us off into this feeling of 'Oh, I can't.' They say it's taboo. It's ingrained in our heads that it's bad, when it's not bad at all. It's a very beautiful thing."

Billie briefly went vegetarian but after he saw he was weight loss he began eating meat again.

John Frusciante
♪ (you may be listening to: Song to sing when I'm Lonely - John Frusciante. Album: Shadows Collide With People (2004)) ♪

"Music should be an expression of freedom and not an expresion of fascism" (2001)

John Frusciante is an american singer, guitarist, songwriter and record producer, well-known for playing in the Californian alternative rock/funk rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers and for his solo career. He is considered one of the best guitarists of all time by the media. Frusciante is open minded if we talk about musical genres: he's tried out a wide range of styles, from punk rock and new wave to electronica, for example.
Apart from the Peppers and his active solo career, he pursues a parallel project with friend Josh Klinghoffer and Joe Lally.
John Frusciante is also recognised because he stress emotion, simplicity and melody in his guitar playing and compositions.

Childhood and adolescence

John Frusciante was born in Queens, New York on March 5, 1970. His father, John Sr., was a pianist and his mother, Gail, was a singer who gave up her career to take care of him. After a couple of years living in Arizona and Florida, his parents separated and he was taken to California by his mother.
Later on, they moved to Los Angeles, where he became involved with the punk scene.
As a teenager, he began studying several artists like Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix, being the last one a big influence. He also began getting in contact with drugs in adolescence while attending guitar classes.

John in the Red Hot Chili Peppers

After a long time of fanaticism, John was admitted in the Red Hot Chili Peppers because of the death of its former guitarist, Hillel Slovak, who died of a speedball (cocaine and heroine) overdose in April of1988. In 1989, Chad Smith was accepted to be the drummer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers by Anthony Kiedis (lead vocals) and Michael Balzary - "Flea" - (bass), so the new lineup was completed with Frusciante's arrival. That year, the band recorded and released its fourth album (first one together), Mother's Milk, with moderate success as a consequence.

However, in 1991, the band would meet fame and popularity after the release of its fifth album, Blood Sugar Sex Magik.This album was a huge success, butmeant a problem for Frusciante, who couldn't handle with so much popularity that fast.
As a result, he left the band at the peak of its notoriety, although his bandmates tried to convince him to stay. He once admitted being hedonistic but he changed his mind and decided to choose the "anti-rockstar" path.

Drug addiction and start of his solo career

John started taking a lot of drugs while touring with the band. He smoked marijuana before every show, and began using heroin too. When he left the band, his heroin addiction went worse than ever and fell into a state of depression. He felt that he could neither write songs nor play the guitar, so he focused in painting and writing stories and screenplays. John was quoted saying that drugs were the only way of "making sure you stay in touch with beauty instead of letting the ugliness of the world corrupt your soul.", stating that he had taken heroin to cause euphoria (one of its possible effects) because he was horribly sad during those days.

On March 8, 1994, John released his first solo album Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T-Shirt, with recordings made during Blood Sugar Sex Magik tour. It had a moderate reception, but most of the critics weren't good. Frusciante's condition was getting worse than ever: he nearly died from a blood infection, his arms were almost amputated because of its scars from injecting himself with heroin improperly. In addition, Johnny Depp (actor) and Gibby Haynes (musician), two of his closest friends, went to his house and filmed a documentary short called "Stuff", showing how he was living and his house was destroyed by a fire that burn his guitar collection.

He released his secong album, Smile from the Streets you Hold, in 1997. In some tracks he accidentally coughs or screams without any reason, showing that his health has deteriorated. The main purpose of the launch of the album was to get money for drugs.

Rehab and return to the Red Hot Chili Peppers

After a long time, Frusciante was convinced to go to rehab in 1998 but by the time he arrived, he was diagnosed with an oral infection which could cause him death. As a consequence, his teeth were all removed and he also received skin grafts to help repair the abscesses on his arms. Healthy again, Frusciante started an spiritual life, characterized by abstinence of many pleasures such as sexual activity. He began doing yoga (however he stopped because it was bringing problems to his body, especially his back) and started a diet.

As this was happening, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were about to break up because they hadfired guitarist Dave Navarro (who released One Hot Minute with them in 1995), and Flea told Anthony Kiedis that he would only continue if they invited Johnagain to the band. Kiedis accepted and Frusciante, after a visit of his friends and former bandmates, happily agreed to come backl. In 1999 the band released Californication, with excellent reviews from the press, highlighting Frusciante's work. John brought the band back where they belonged, andthe album was a commercial success. To Record Only Water for Ten Days, Frusciante's third solo album, was released in 2001, differing completely from the others. This one wasn't recorded under influence of drugs, and consciousness prevailed in music, sound and lyrics. He focused in using synthesizers and experimenting with psychodelic rock and electronica.
In 2001 the Red Hot Chili Peppers started recording By The Way, their eighth album. During that time, Frusciante wrote many of the songs that would be part of Shadows Collide With People, his next solo album.

"He is a phenomenal person and he is an amazing artist and I am grateful to play with him. He is the best." (Flea)

John Frusciante today

After releasing By The Way, the Red Hot Chili Peppers started touring all over the world and John released his fourth solo album Shadows Collide With People. He started a side project with Josh Klinghoffer and Joe Lally called Ataxia. They released an album in 2004, Automatic Writing, and another in 2007, AWII and later disbanded. In 2005, Red Hot Chili Peppers released Stadium Arcadium, their latest album, where he practically provides backing vocals in all the tracks.
Apart from that, he contributed vocals and guitar playing on The Mars Volta first album De-Loused in the Comatorium, guitar solos on their second album Frances the Mute and helped them completing their third album, Amputechture.
Nowadays, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are on temporary hiatus. Anthony Kiedis revealed that, meantime, Frusciante will continue with his solo projects.

John Frusciante: childhood, adolescence, youth and adulthood

Appearance

John is medium-height, with big brown eyes, wide nose and thin lips. He's recognized because of his long wavy hair, and because he usually grows a beard. Lately he has been seen with very short hair.

Devotion to Frusciante

I completely admire John because he's a great musician and person. He transmits a lot of feeling in his music, he is conscious of what people think about him and the band where he plays but he always has both feet on the ground. His humility is admirable taking into account his past. That's why I admire John Frusciante.
