Agreed, that is a wonderful thing to do. There need to be more musicians actively help the music world like that. Music has done wonderful things for so many people. Good job Flea...Hats (and pants, but not tube sock) off!

Fleas had this place running for a while, I remember he used to mention it a lot on his Fleamails on the Chilis website.

I'd speculate that he'll be pumping a decent chunk of his Fleabass profit back into keep Silverlake running.

I always hear stuff about Anthony Kiedis being a douche, but the rest of the guys generally being nice.
