I guess though that it's partly what they themselves want to play / enjoy playing as well?

That's correct. Another little known fact is that Haywards Heath is actually in Surrey.But surely Burwash is in Kent

Nah. They used to churn them out regularly back then. They had a (comparatively) decent break prior to Disintegration.
The most staggering achievement is Stevie Wonder who produced three of the greatest albums of all time in the space of six months, one of which was a double album.
Apparently Robert Smith has produced three albums worth of material alongside this one. There's SfaLW, a poppy one, and an experimental one that will go out under Robert's name.

The Cure have a 3 hour free stream not many bands would do that. Endsong is a stunning masterpiece. A band and song as good as it can get

Just watching the livestream again this morning whilst working from home and noticed that Simon Gallups guitar seems to have the Somerset dragon on it. A group of chaps used to drink in my local bar in Bath and one of them claimed to be Simons father, and i had no reason to doubt him. However i can't find anything to support this online, only that Simon was born in Surrey. Is there any connection to Somerset? or was this bloke bullsh*tting me and it's also not the Somerset Dragon?

Alone and Endsong are musical master pieces. Right up there alongside the best material The Cure have ever produced. I find them quite emotional songs as they are clearly looking towards end of their careers, questioning the bands place in music or even end of their own lives. Where does it go? Good question ....

Always loved Pictures of You, but "Burn" from The Crow soundtrack is my favourite all time song of theirs.
Listening to the entire gig for the first time, from 00:44 onwards imho it's special. RS and the band members all in brilliant form. Play for Today then A Forest two of many highlights

I'm pretty certain it's a Chinese Lion, but I'm not sure why he has it on his new basses.
Certainly doesn't look like a dragon or Wyvern as there are no wings.

Brain in gear.... it will be the Berkshire lion from their County Arms... he is a Reading supporter.

‘I’ve stumbled deep into alien territory’: our sportswriters and arts critics swap jobs
What would happen if our arts critics and sports writers swapped roles for a day? How does the English National Opera compare to the Premier League … or the NFL to a West End musical? Our experts found out last week

He'll probably end up a Brighton fan. We're the pseuds choice.
