Has there ever been a better angry song? Flea's bass line is a killer.
Taylor Swift could learn a thing or two from Alanis about how to write a breakup song.
Eg White mentioned that he thought that music delivery in the 50's and early 60's was in many ways like Spotify. Most music was delivered over the radio and whether the song continued on the playlist depended on sales (which led to the top 40). Songs were short and musicians didn't make a lot of...
