Published on 04/18/2018

Donald Trump has been in the presidency of the United States for more than a year and continues to attract a lot of criticism, mainly from the artistic class of the country.

In a 2016 interview, months before the candidate’s election, Flea shared his views on the ideology of the politician. Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist sat down for a chat with German reporter Kelly Vision during the band’s tour of the Rock Am Ring festival.

During the interview, the musician spoke about the importance of education in the US, especially music education. Using his own experience as a poor, “savage” boy, Flea still cited how music helped him overcome his problems with drugs and crime, and criticized Trump’s position.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
