Flea Responds to “Frustrated” National Anthem Haters

Flea Responds to “Frustrated” National Anthem Haters

On Wednesday, Los Angeles Lakers great Kobe Bryant played his final basketball game. The game was preceded by a bass-only rendition of the National Anthem courtesy of Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, who really wailed away in tribute to #24. The performance received… mixed reviews, to say the least. Today, TMZ caught up with Flea to ask what he thought of the criticism. “I don’t care, man,” he said. “I know that people who like music liked it. I thought it was beautiful. I really don’t have any concern for little small minds that get frustrated when they get blown. I like the big minds.” When asked if he had a message for the haters, he replied: “I love you.” Watch video of his comments below.
