Scar Tissue; New HBO Series

Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis will be the focus of a new HBO series. Scar Tissue, helmed by John Sayles, will focus on Kiedis growing up in in West Hollywood in the 1970's.

Fans of the Red Hot Chili Peppers might be familiar with the book Scar Tissue, Kiedis' autobiography. The series originates from that book and will follow Anthony and his father, at the time known as Spider, who was a drug dealer to big name 70's bands. According to legend some of the bands that Spider sold to include The Who and Led Zeppelin. As of now, many of these bands will be portrayed in the series.

Sayles, who has written Honeydripper, Sunshine State and Silver City, has been using the book as source material as well as meeting with Anthony and his father.

This actually sounds like it could be pretty cool. I'm going to be keeping my eye out for this one. You can always count on HBO to keep coming up with new shows that I'm actually interested in.
