"There have been few people since I started my channel that I really wanted to interview, and one of them is bass icon Flea," Rick Beato says of his guest. "I just love music," Flea says when asked about the diversity of his musical tastes. "The first time I really saw people playing music, was playing bebop in my living room, guys jamming out, ferociously ... It's very cerebrally, spiritually, in every way, a very intense music. And as a little kid, I just couldn't believe it. It was so beautiful ... It was just people making music, and it always affected me in the same way. It was just, like, 'This is beautiful' ... It's all music, and I'm grateful for all of it."
