The Cure

[Csargo]

Glad to see there are some Cure fans. This is the first time I listened to them and I really like them the reason I decided to buy one of there cds is cause Tom Delonge is a fan of them and Blink 182 is my favorite band so I decided to check them out.

the Cure are great, saw them a few years ago, much fun. except for their crap support bands.

How could you not love a band fronted by Fat Bob.

I did like them in the 80s. Nowadays, their front guy Robert ? became just pathetic.

I wonder how the single "Killing an Arab" would make it today?
Iirc it goes something like this:

Standing on a beach with a gun in my hand,
Standing on the beach, staring at the sand
Killing an Arab.

There was a pretty sweet episode of South Park involving Robert Smith. He killed Barbara Streisand, but she was asking for it, because she was mecha-Godzilla.

I wonder how the single "Killing an Arab" would make it today?
Iirc it goes something like this:

Well, considering that Albert Camus wasn't that much of a racist, I think it 'd be fine

[R'as al Ghul]

Aha. Thanks, I had no idea.
Ignorant me.

Actually, the Cure is headed by Robert "Fat Bob" Smithenstein, a rabid and notorious Zionist.

The record company came out with that Camus rubbish to cover their behinds.

Nice little discussion we got here keep it going

... their front guy Robert ? became just pathetic. ...

Funny how singers in rock bands tend to do that ... all the drink, drugs, sex, ego gratification overload, and complete lack of self-control. Most of the bands I was in split up eventually because of one member or another becoming disgruntled with the singer and his/her antics.

I like The Cure. I did the same thing: bought their greatest hits long after they were popular and said, "hey, I like this." I bought several other albums by them and ended up just liking the greatest hits best. That one album is all The Cure I need--it's got most of their good old songs on it, and nice new mixes too.
