John Frusciante leaves the Red Hot Chili Peppers
He announced on his blog yesterday that he had, in fact, left the band a year ago but that there was no animosity. He is a rare soul, an incredibly gifted musician, artistic and creative and somehow other worldly. His solo work is unusual and beautiful and I’m looking forward to hearing more of that.
I’m not sure what direction the Chili Peppers will now take although they are saying they will continue with a new guitarist.
This does give me an opportunity to post one of my favourite ever shots 
I took this in Hyde Park in June 2005 on a beautiful summer evening. This is a scan from black and white film and I have a print hanging in my living room.

I love this shot and the quality given to it by the film- I can understand you having it on your wall. Didn’t actually know John Frusciante had left RHCP! That’s a shame- I felt their albums suffered when he left for the first time.
Thanks Christian! The Hyde Park gig was one of the best experiences of my life. It will be very interesting to see the direction the CPs take now. Have you heard any of JF’s solo work? I love it.
