Central Park review in Alternative Press
Thanks to Gwen
Rhodes for alerting me to a review of the Central Park concert appearing in
Alternative Press (Dec. 97, Jane's Addiction cover). Mostly negative (the title is
"Showstoppers Of The World, Give Up And Roll Over") but there is a nice
accompanying picture.
Nov 09 97 - Sunday
Robert Smith talks
about us in Rolling Stone
From Bill Stevens, taken from a Robert
Smith Q&A on Rolling Stone online (Thanks to Julie Niven for the URL to the Q&A).
From what I heard, the full interview will appear in the next Rolling Stone (printed) and
he talks even more about Morrissey and The Smiths. We'll see.
Who has more rabid fans, the Cure or Morrissey?
I’d much rather have our fans than his — our fans are generally quiet,
well-spoken and friendly and not pretentious in the slightest. Hopefully, that reflects
the nature of the Cure. Despite what the mainstream media would have you believe,
we’re a very natural group. The people who have been in the group over the years have
been there because they have been friendly with each other. There has been no sense of
purpose other than making music together. I think if Morrissey’s fans reflect what
Morrissey is like as an individual or the way he projects himself as an individual then
... uh ... I’ll stop there. |
St. Louis - info
... is now available here. Thanks go
to Jessica Tragasz, Wade Schoeneweis, Rudy Vasquez, Alison Olcott, Carter Smolik and Don Rowe for their kind help.
Please continue to send set lists and information until the end as I am not in contact
with anyone following the tour.
