I am Cured!

I was visiting a friend in Berlin recently, and we went to Rotterdam to see the Cure. She is a huge fan, I was just curious (pun thought about and rejected).

So, we had these meet and greet passes, and got to spend 15 minutes alone with the band before the show. Last I remember Robert Smith, he was standing in a child's wading pool wearing too much makeup and singing about Japanese babies. He still wears too much makeup. But he and the band were so hospitable, I had to give them high marks for fan relations. And they played for over three hours, showing an admirable level of dedication for a band that's been around since we were living in Morges.

Anyway, just another entry for the "Who would have thunk it?" file.
