Also missing are two from Mother's Milk: "Subway to Venus," with superb bass lines and a great horns section, and "Sexy Mexican Maid," an excellent example of the Peppers' ability to mix funk and thrash.

...Rocky Horror Picture Show groupie who has become a die-hard peacenik ("I was no phony...l was bona fide. I sucked off Jerry Gracia."). But despite her commitment to hippiedom, Bubbles still has a lot of internalized racism knocking around in her drug-addled brain.
