Huge fan of The Cure since the very beginning . They haven’t put out a great album since Boris Thompson left but they have my respect for carrying on all these years and still drawing massive crowds . I do think Robert ought to do something about his hair ( looking more and more like Tiny Tim every day ) and shelve the red lipstick / eye shadow . He is 63 , after all . Time for a change ?

Lol, that made me laugh…”…shelve the red lipstick/ eye shadow. He is 63, after all.” Also, a guy. 😂

Yeah, Smith does look a little crazy these days, like a bloated Edward Scissorhands. But, I agree; it’s cool that he’s still kicking it and still is true to himself.

He saved the world from Mecha-Streisand.

Saw The Cure three time . Once on their very first USA tour to promote 17 Seconds album . It was their 2nd gig and at a relatively small club in NYC called Hurrahs . Stood 6 feet from the stage directly in front of Robert . Next time was the next year - FAITH tour - again in NYC but at The Ritz . 3rd time in 1984 just after Boris joined .

I forgot about that one. That’s fun to listen to, too.

Back in the 80s, we called those who wore the style “corn chips,” not goth. But yeah, I always thought of The Cure as punk-pop.
