Happy Birthday man.

45 and still going strong. The Cure are going to be on The Tonight Show on April 30 - debuting a new single.

Awww, I loved the Cure. Man, they were so good.

This was always one of my favoritest songs ever! It always made me so happy when I was sad.

i don't care if monday's blue
tuesday's grey and wednesday too
thursday I don't care about you
it's friday i'm in love
monday you can fall apart
tuesday wednesday break my heart
thursday doesn't even start
it's friday i'm in love

saturday wait
and sunday always comes too late
but friday never hesitate...

i don't care if monday's black
tuesday wednesday heart attack
thursday never looking back
it's friday i'm in love

monday you can hold your head
tuesday wednesday stay in bed
or thursday watch the walls instead
it's friday i'm in love

saturday wait
and sunday always comes too late
but friday never hesitate...

dressed up to the eyes
it's a wonderful surprise
to see your shoes and your spirits rise
throwing out your frown
and just smiling at the sound
and as sleek as a shriek
spinning round and round
always take a big bite
it's such a gorgeous sight
to see you in the middle of the night
you can never get enough
enough of this stuff
it's friday
i'm in love


I don't think I've heard any other Cure songs, though. Did they even put any other songs out ever?

Friday I'm in love is one of my least favorite Cure songs, but it does remind me of a cute girl I knew in high school, so it can't be all bad. Always more into the boys don't cry/close to me/catch kinda tunes.

I almost returned my HP printer for stealing 'pictures of you' for their ad. Uggh.

Happy B-day man, and thanks for kicking Barbara Streisand's ass that one time.

Northside Rovers:

Quick question. Assuming that you go to Burn games, did you ever get a Robert Smith song going around the section? (I'm not sure if you sit with the burn supporter peeps (burn victims?)

Like, Letter to Ariel or something? Maybe "strange attraction" is a better fit for Dallas fans?

If not, that's your goal for this season.

In honor of his birthday, I'm drumming out "Fascination Street" on Sunday at the Metro-Revs game.

I sit with the Inferno - usually a few rows up from El Jefe.

You know the Cure even have a song called "Burn" - they wrote for The Crow.

We don't get a whole lot of singing going - except for maybe a "culero" chant which has kind of a nice ring to it.
