Anthony Kiedis "That's how Bernie Sanders rolls" [View all]

Last edited Wed Jan 27, 2016, 08:11 PM - Edit history (1)

Was just listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers front man Anthony Kiedis (AKA Antwan The Swan) on KLOS's Jonesy's Jukebox show. He announced that the RHCP are playing a benefit for Sanders at the Ace Hotel here in L.A. next Friday. Kiedis opined that unlike the other candidates running for president, Sanders is; " A human being who cares about other human beings". He then explained that when the RHCP offered to pay the rent on the venue as a contribution, Sanders TURNED THEM DOWN. He said Sanders thanked them graciously for the offer, but said he couldn't take that much money from them, as he didn't want to be beholden to anyone.....Anthony was clearly blown away, and said "THAT'S how Bernie Sanders rolls".....
