MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1 – “Around the World” guitar intro)

Released on June 8th of 1999 –

this album went on to sell more than 15 million copies worldwide

Californication from the Red Hot Chili Peppers

(Music Cut #2 – “Californication” hook)

But this wasn’t just a comeback for the band.

It was a comeback for someone

many people really believed

might not survive.

The last time we heard him on a Chili Peppers album was Blood Sugar Sex Magik

(Music Cut #3 – “Suck My Kiss” hook)

Guitarist John Frusciante.

After leaving the band,

he went through addiction,

poverty,

and serious health issues.

But he got clean.

He came back.

And Californication became the sound

of the Chili Peppers finding themselves again.

(Music Cut #4)
