[kj] OT: The Cure

[Alexander Smith]

I've seen the Cure on the KISS ME tour, the DISINTEGRATON tour  
(titled the Prayer Tour, I believe) and the last time on the WILD  
MOOD SWINGS tour.

Love their records (well, up through DISINTEGRATION, anyway --  
couldn't be bothered after that), but as live shows go --

SNORE!!!!!
