Do you think he feels like a rat in a cage every fuckin night he sings that song? No, but he's gonna do his job and make you feel that he is. Anyway, sayin all that, I really do think that MTAE is a genuine accurate reflection of where he's at, musically, artistically, as a human person, whatever. If it seems too safe, or benign, or beige, then maybe that's just how he's feeling.

Fitting to talk about the cure and then being disingenuous/"real because Robert Smith spent a good aprt of his career writing sad love songs when hes been with the same girl since he was 14. So everytime he sings about heartbreak or failed or unrequited love, it's not "real". But who gives a shit, he makes you believe it.


And (most) anything Cure past Wish is garbage. I mean fine for anyone to like it, it's their right, but it's garbage.

he should try a truly collaborative project [i.e. everyone having equal influence over the band's direction/songwriting]. you better believe bob and most other good artists never would've got where they did w/o their collaborators. bc has a lot to offer as a musician. when the old approach doesn't work anymore, try sth else. or don't, whatever.

Bill is a fucking disgrace.

Unfollowed on Twatter and Fcebonk today and we're getting divorced.

Some artists age gracefully and are batshit insane like Neil Young. He can still stick out a decent album every couple of years, whereas Bill can't finish anything he starts.

Being Beige says it all really. He's wallpaper.
