As part of LoCO’s continuing quest to let you know anytime Humboldt is mentioned out in the wider world, we must note that Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman and recent Hoopa guest Anthony Kiedis is today’s guest on the Joe Rogan Experience, by all accounts the most-listened to podcast on this planet.
At one point during their three-hour discussion, Rogan and Kiedis veered onto the topic of cultural appropriation, which prompted Kiedis to bring up a unique little show he’d played last week in an isolated part of Northern California. You can hear the exchange in the clip below.

It’s smoky down in Ferndale and environs this afternoon!
And that’s because Calfire is conducting a controlled burn in the Table Bluff area. They’re taking out about 12 acres of invasive beach grass, which apparently throws up a fine plume.
No emergency!
Going Down @ 4:19 p.m.
They’re making things all secure-like down at Halvorsen Park. We’re only a few days away from native daughter Sara Bareilles’ much-anticipated homecoming concert and the fences have started going up around the event space.
Have you got your tickets to get past those fences? More importantly, do you have too many tickets? ‘Cuz other people would like to see Sara! If you were one of the lucky few who secured entry in the initial crush and you’ve either decided you can’t go or you were more ambitious on the number of friends you have, remember that you can return your tix so they can be redistributed to those on the waiting list.
If you’re curious on the logistics of how this is all going to work, the City of Eureka lays it all out here. See you Sunday!
Going Down @ 2:38 p.m.
