When you think of a college freshman, you probably picture some nerdy, pubescent guy, not the kind of guy who plays Woodstock 1999 naked. And yet, it looks like USC students are going to be treated to a new freshman of that caliber: Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Yes, the almost 46-year-old will enter USC as a freshman music student.

According to Perez Hilton:

You wouldn't think Flea would feel the need to go back to school, but the Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist just enrolled as a freshmen at the University of Southern California.
Why????

He's pursuing a degree…..in music!

When asked why after years of success as a rock musician he felt the need to study Bach's chorales and four-part harmonies, Flea said, "Music is made up out of these building blocks. Studying how these blocks go together and what they consist of and the math of how it works — it's all the same stuff; it's just different aesthetics that we're talking about."

Oh Flea, so full of surprises. I’m sure he’d make the perfect fraternity brother, what with his extensive experience smoking weed, and well, smoking weed.

Do we have any takers?
