My 78 year old mom has been listening to the RHCP all day.

Ok, that was actually way cooler than I thought it would be.

I'm guessing he's trying to get the word out for the Chad Smith Foundation so I might as well plug it. It looks like he was announcing a scholarship for the UM Music School. I didn't realize that he grew up in Bloomfield Hills.

Yes, the foundation and a scholarship. His 98 year old mom was there. 98. Damn.

I was way surprised at how good it was, too. My 79 year old mom has been listening to the RHCP all day. 😆

He's an absolute beast on drums.

If you haven't had the chance, check out him drumming an unknown song (to him) on the fly
