  1. A very happy Christmas to you and your loved ones Craig! What an exciting year for us Cure fans, I remember waking up in May and checking the setlist of the night before first thing in the morning, sometimes getting up before the alarm to have time and peruse it. Then it got a bit quieter in summer and soon the European leg of the tour started. I am grateful I was able to see 3 converts, feeling so alive every minute of every show.
    Your site means so much to me, have been following almost from the start and there is no better one. Thank you so much!

  2. Merry Christmas everybody!

    Here's a Christmas poem for you all.

    cheers,
    dsc


    Skeletons in the Snow


    The palm trees rise
    out of the snow
    the palm trees rise
    in the Pictures of You video
    the palm trees rise
    out of snow, and not sand
    as the crushed snow it crumbles
    in our hands
    And if people watch this video
    a thousand years from now
    after an apocalypse
    on scorched hallowed ground,
    they may be confused
    by this picture show,
    why are there palm trees
    rising from the snow?
    Is this what the earth looked like
    a thousand years ago?
    a frozen wasteland littered
    with skeletons in the snow?
    the palm trees rise
    out of the snow
    the palm trees rise
    in the Pictures of You video
    the palm trees rise
    out of snow, and not sand
    as the crushed snow it crumbles
    in our hands.

  5. A very happy Christmas for you and your loved ones my dear Craig. You make my life better since 1999 when I discovered your page online. A huge and incredible job you do. Thanks one more time for your efforts. The only site that I visit everyday whenever or wherever I am. Besides..I have always wondered if you have met Robert sometime and what's your relationship with him. Does he recognised your fantastic work for the fans and the band (apart from burn live in New Orleans and two special setlist this year). Losts of love my friend

  9. Don't worry, I smile
    I'll miss you, but it's not like you're gone
    Don't worry, I smile
    It's not like there won't be another one
    We laughed about last year
    The games we played, the songs we sang
    The way we danced all night
    Don't worry, I smile
    We'll do all those things again next time

    Happy holidays Cure friends and family. 2016 was a bit of a kick in the face, but music brought us together from diverse places when it seems the world is getting darker and more divided. May 2017 be less sickness and more Cure.
