Here's a little special episode. John Frusciante. A pretty special mind, guitar prodigy who plays in a mediocre arena rock band known for wearing socks on dongs and fighting like braves. And he's a great story.
Here's a film by Johnny Depp near the last days of Frusciante's Hollywood Hills home before it burned down. Frusciante at the time was eyeball deep in heroin & coke addiction.
Wikipedia:...an article published by the New Times LA described Frusciante as "a skeleton covered in thin skin" who, at the pinnacle of his addictions, nearly died from a blood infection.[30] His arms became fiercely scarred from improperly shooting heroin and cocaine, leaving permanent abscesses.[22] Frusciante spent the next three years holed up in his Hollywood Hills home, the walls of which were badly damaged and covered in graffiti.[31] During this time, his friends Johnny Depp and Gibby Haynes went to his house and filmed an unreleased documentary short called Stuff, depicting the squalor in which he was living.[31] The house was eventually destroyed by a fire that claimed his vintage guitar collection along with several recorded tapes of music and left him with a few serious burn injuries after he narrowly escaped.[32]
