From Lol on Facebook: "Cindy and I had a lovely time in Honolulu.The show was excellent and it was great to see everyone again. We also met the most wonderful couple of Cure fans.All in the beautiful environment of Hawaii"
Good to see he made it to the show and there's no apparent bad blood. He needs to be back in the band though. His presence somehow makes everything better, even though nobody knows exactly how. It's just one of those things you accept without questioning it.
My point was just with him being there somehow everything turned out better, but in a way nobody can really explain. I think he contributed less obviously over time but he did contribute to songwriting and how things generally turned out.
Then I hope Robert brings back Michael Dempsey instead of Simon on bass, then replaces Roger with Matthieu Hartley and kicks Reeves out.
But come to think of it, maybe it was a mistake to replace Simon with Michael, come on back Simon. And really we should replace Matthieu with Lol on keys and bring in, ohhh, I don't know, maybe Andy Anderson on drums.
Actually, just for shits and giggles let's replace Simon for a little while with Phil Thornalley. Oh, and bring back Porl on guitar too.
You know, come to think of it, Andy seems a little edgy - can we replace him with Boris Williams? And Simon, Phil wants to write pop songs in Sweden, please come back.
So, just in case Lol goes back on the drink, let's bring Roger back to support him when we play live. Ah feck it, let's just get rid of Lol altogether actually.
Ok. Roger, you've been here long enough. Can we get Perry Bamonte back to replace you on keyboards?
Now Porl! No moonlighting with Page and Plant, sling your hook ... and bring Boris with you. Ok, let's get Jason back in on drums and Roger back on keys so Perry can concentrate on guitar.
Ok, so far so good. No, wait. Roger. Perry! Time to split. We are gonna see how this sounds as a three piece. Mmmm, it's missing something. Porl? Are you busy? Come on back you scary looking little man.
Ok, so there's stage make-up and then there's Porl. Sorry bro, gotta let you go, it's the errr, economy. Call Roger, see if he's free. Nice. OK, Roger's back.
So we're missing something. Guitar. Ask Porl. What's that? He can't come to the phone as he's penis painting ... and he's now called Pearl? Ooooookkkkkkkk .... so let's just ask that American dude from David Bowie's band. Reeves.
So we're good then? Everyone happy? Oh for fucks sake ... 1,234 people on Chain of Flowers just asked for Perry to come back.
My comment was talking about one key member. Up until 1989 all the people I knew who liked The Cure considered The Cure to be Robert and Laurence plus some other people.
