Music is everything. It puts us in a good mood, gives us a tool to connect with others, and so on. But how long does it take musicians to make their most popular songs? And, most significantly, what makes us put these songs on replay? At Rumours Revealed Podcast, we will explore the complexities behind the most famous albums of all time. By analyzing one album per episode, you might learn answers to questions like: Who was Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean?” What was going on with Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On?” Why did the Beatles cross Abbey Road?

8. The Red Hot Chili Pepper's "Californication"

And we're back! This episode features rock and roll "screw ups" that finally got their act together: The Red Hot Chili Peppers. In the late 90s, hardly anyone was taking the band seriously. They had some funky success in the 80s, turned heads with Blood Sugar Sex Magik in the early 90s, then descended into drug fueled chaos. The band decided to (figuratively and literally) clean up their act and create an album with poignant statements about capitalism and all its glamour: Californication. Learn about their rocky road to success and legacy in this special edition episode with Gabe giving the details behind the band.

Discussing the Red Hot Chili Peppers means acknowledging their traumas, legacy, image, and controversies. We have included the following resources for those that are or have been affected by addiction, mental illness, sexual, and/or child abuse:
