...much fun as when they made the “Give it Away” video—unfortunately, this song is a sleeping pill by comparison. Some of the video’s clips are throwaways, but there are more than a few highlights. Like when we find bassist Flea looking completely out of his element in a ’50s dark suit, playing an enormous double bass. The look on his face suggests that the two-piece is a bit more confining than his more typical strategically-placed tube sock, but the master of the funky electric...
...Cardullo family’s Wursthaus restaurant, which served up German fare. “I want to bring back late night eating to the Square and have it be fun,” Zebny said.

Drummer Fabrizio Moretti and bassist Nikolai Fraiture are overwhelmed by a horde of winter-jacketed pedestrians who stumble into them and knock up their instruments. Occasionally, one member or the other will appear to be as large as a skyscraper, a concept that seems to have been borrowed from the video for the Rolling Stones?...
