G-Lal

Since hippos have red sweat that acts as a natural sunscreen, I was wondering if your sweat has any special powers.

Flea!

It's surreal to think I might actually be talking to you right now. You've probably heard this a million times, but you inspired me to pick up the bass guitar. And more importantly, you and your bandmates have really helped my love and appreciation for music grow over the past few years. I'll always be thankful for that.

Now, on to my question - I know people started calling you Flea after a ski trip to Mammoth Mountain, but how did the name come up?

What's your favourite bat and why?

Also, I'm going to study zoology at university, so any advice from you would be greatly appreciated.
