The Cure show in MSG was unmissable and I'm so glad we went. I was thrilled to see an all-ages kind of crowd. Some of the kids are alright, or at least have commendable taste in music.
We took this video:
I mean, Just Like Heaven -- who in that place was not taking a video?
But this was not, frankly, a consistent goings-on. I noticed this when it was only me and like some other old lady at the end of the row freaking out and singing along when they played Six Different Ways or Burn or like, the song before Friday I'm in Love on the album.
Because, yeah. It's only the old folks who actually were forced to listen to the whole damn cassette tape over and over and over again. It's hard to skip a song on a cassette tape so you just listen to them all. And then you know all the words to all the songs not just the singles.
And at some point after forty thousand plays, these "middle of the album" songs become like old friends, even the so called "deep cuts" that you didn't even realize were deep cuts until all the kids are just looking around in complete confusion.
Burn is one of the best Cure songs ever. I will die on this hill:
