R is for the red hot chili peppers




The red hot chili peppers are my favourite band. Not many people like the red hot chili peppers, but they are one of my favourite bands. The band includes Anthony Kiedis, Michael "flea" Balzary as the bassist and Chad Smith as the drummer. For most of the time the band was around John Frusciante was the lead guitarist. The group originally had the guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons.
The red hot chili peppers have won a total of seven Grammy awards. The band has sold over 55 million albums world-wide. The peppers has had 8 singles in the top 40 of the "billboard hot 100" and 3 were in the top ten. They have 5 number one singles on the "Mainstream Rock Charts", and hold a record of 11 number 1 singles on the " Modern Rock Charts"


The red hot chili peppers are my favourite band, because they are a band that have many really good songs and not just one. They're also my favourite because of the guitar in all of the songs, and they're range of different types of songs. Such as fast songs or slow and sensitive ones. The red hot chili peppers also have a great logo (such as the one above) and a cool band name. The peppers have many great albums but my favourite would be Stadium Arcadium, partly because of the song Dani California, which is on my top 3 favourite songs. The peppers are a great band in my mind, because it is a very original band. Not many bands are the same genre as the peppers and if they are they suck.

LIFE LESSON: You can like any music you want, make sure that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are in your top 3.

Z is for Zoolander

"I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is." This is a quote from my favourite movie, Zoolander. It's about a male model named Derek Zoolander. He is not very bright, can't turn left, but is a great male model. The role of Derek Zoolander is played by Ben Stiller. Zoolander is a comedy of course. In the movie Zoolander starts off as the best male model in the world until Hansel (Owen Wilson) steals the show. Meanwhile people try to brainwash Derek to kill the prime minister of Malaysia, because he is stopping cheap child labour. Derek finds a nosy reporter who he falls in love with and him and Hansel become friends in the end. Together they save the prime minister of Malaysia and Derek makes a center for "Children who can't read good (and for kids who want to do other stuff good too." Run by Derek, Hansel and Dereks model sponser.


Zoolander was made on September 29, 2001 nationwide. Zoolander made $45,162,741 at the U.S box office. Zoolander is a movie where you are either a DIE HARD FAN or a person that hates the movie. I would be one of the die hard fans. Most of my family is a die hard fan, except for mom.. She thinks it's stupid. Not many of my friends think it's funny either. I have heard that there is hopefully going to be a Zoolander 2, i'm pretty excited for that. I have no clue what would happen though, because Zoolander's enemy was caught in the end. Either way im sure it will be awesome.
