It seems some of his rough edges have been polished, whether he did it on his own or Robert told/asked him to do it, I don't care. I can finally call this line-up complete. I will always miss Porl because he was irreplaceable, he was in the band for years and played on most of the albums we all love and played countless incredible gigs with The Cure over the years. He's not coming back in any permanent capacity, probably ever.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329577841319504565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-32040536444697466982016-06-25T14:16:29.829-05:002016-06-25T14:16:29.829-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Marc the Curehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15883866398630611216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-69569315512132673112016-06-25T11:58:35.382-05:002016-06-25T11:58:35.382-05:00Some tracks from last night.

I originally mis-read it as 'Britain First' so was quite worried, as they are particularly right wing, and it is worrying how many neo-nazi groups are on the rise in Europe currently. Want to be like Simon, and not get too into politics, but the vast majority of those under 40 voted to remain. Immigrants are causing havoc, but it is as a result of the havoc caused by others in the Middle East. No easy answers. Anyway, enough said on that. Simon's flags had been football related before, and I've always wondered why he'd changed from Arsenal to Reading FC.

Craig E. had indicated in the previous comments (think it was yesterday or the day before that) that one can easily infer Simon's political inclinations based on the slogan/banner on his bass amp. Good thing I happened to go back and look at it again or I would have missed it. I noticed some really great responses to comments frequently appear a day or two after the original posting so I periodically go back and check them after the fact. Maybe I'm just dense but I couldn't tell right away based on the 2 word slogan - I figured it probably implied a call for change, but to be sure I actually looked it up, and yes I did come across references to Blake and his poem Jerusalem. Didn't have time for a thorough analysis but it appears that it's a political poem with religious undertones. I might be wrong but I think Blake was suggesting the need for radical change in the face of a fallen political and social state. <br />CURE-iously, when I looked up "England Awake" I noticed under the related frequent search terms that "England Awake The Cure" shows up. This probably means that a lot of fellow fans have also noticed the banner and have been googling it enough times that it's now listed as a related search term? Haha...<br />Craig E. - Thanks for your vote of confidence (pardon the pun?)...one could probably spend all day arguing for or against, and valid arguments can certainly be made on either side, but from my very distant perspective it seems that independence is the way to go. No need to be shackled by the EU's bureaucracy/red tape and overly liberal policies with regard to refugees/immigration.

To me, he seems to have toned it down quite a bit and fits in better than at any time in the last four years. I was seriously doubting that Reeves was EVER going to find his place in the band but whatever happened in the last year and a half seems to have solved the problem for the most part, whether it was Reeves working on it on his own or RS told him to knock it off it really seems to have worked. After the show that was ostensibly to be in Seattle turned out to be a festival show on the other side of the state, I was seriously considering just forgetting them entirely, there is certainly enough great music to listen to without The Cure on the playlist. They brought me around by more or less just kicking ass on the first dates of the tour. Never thought I'd hear them play like that ever again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329577841319504565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-39850429250071267352016-06-25T02:29:32.355-05:002016-06-25T02:29:32.355-05:00I agree with piggywigee, I'm excited for the U...I agree with piggywigee, I'm excited for the UK to reclaim their identity and stop having to kiss Brussels' ass. Forty + years is definitely enough. They'll no longer be required to take in the war and political refugees, which is great because if you've been paying attention the refugees are wreaking havoc everywhere they go. Perry is talking of moving to Florida, but it's real unlikely that Perry living there would be any sort of incentive for RS to move there too. The Brits in favor of leaving seem to think that it's a matter of survival more than anything else.
