#1366 – FASCINATION STREET – The Cure - 4/21/2020

Robert Smith, leader of The Cure, was born 61 years ago today in Blackpool on England’s northwest coast. This tune comes from “Disintegration”. It is the album that marked band’s most wide-spread commercial acceptance – in the U.S anyway – and features a brooding bass line and stinging guitar.

I can’t hear any Cure song without thinking of my buddy John Rees, from my days up in Black Hawk working at the casinos. John and I were pretty dissimilar, and yet became great friends for the 4 plus years we were working together. One day we realized we were both Cure fans which lead to some of our late afternoons grooving to the band while doing our end of day IT duties. I don’t know when I will see you again, my friend, but I wish all good things for ya. Stay well & stay safe.
