Wow, I just a saw a YouTube video of Flea's house for sale in the LA suburb of La Crescenta for sale. Super nice house. Strangely I also saw Steve Vai's house for sale in LA at the same time. Also super nice house.

Well Flea just released a jazz record where he plays trumpet. I admire him for it, but might need some financing now.

		He also played in a Star Wars series as a bad guy kidnapping Pricess Leia. I like him a lot.

Maybe trying to escape the wealth tax?

Not sure any of the band members are over 1b individually which is the current threshold. Maybe, though.

		There have been arguments that the wealth tax proposal has loopholes that would allow it to be extended to much lower levels of wealth without a further amendment. More importantly, if that’s the way the state’s politics are trending, it might be worth it to leave and come back if the threat goes away. Who knows, maybe one of the band members invested in a successful startup, or is an LP for a VC that did. That’s not unheard of for the entertainment industry. Most people wouldn’t have pegged Ashton Kutcher as an investing genius, but he has been highly successful.
