One of his most recent vids was how “friday Im in Love” became their biggest hit.

"Just Like Heaven" should have been their biggest hit, and though I haven't heard it in years it's still one of my favorites - an almost perfect example of pop music.

My older brother had the original Head on the Door album, and he would listen to it and annoyingly I had to or he would kick my ass. (2 brothers growing up in the same room) . Years later, I talk to the clerks at Guitar Center here near Sunset and the manager tells me that The Cure and Smith go there first before they start their US tours. The story was that Robert Smith in the 80’s was in town and broke his strings. Close to midnight they were closing when the store clerks saw him at the back, and they re-opened the store for him. Supposedly the only time Guitar Center opened the store but closed to the public near 1 am so Robert Smith can buy strings.
