Robert Smith-ra Descends Upon The Gorge

Is Megan still out of town? The Cure’s rescheduled summer ‘08 tour was announced nearly four hours ago, and it’s still not posted on Line Out. Hope she’s okay.

The original tour dates scheduled for this October have been bumped all the way to May; Vancouver’s General Motors Arena still gets its fix on May 26, while Seattlites will have to drive to the Gorge for theirs, as The Cure joins the Sasquatch ‘08 lineup for May 25. Seems that the postponement excuse about recording a new record isn’t as fishy as I’d suspected; Reuters reports that Robert Smith is “struggling to come up with lyrics to some of the 33 new songs.”

Need some help climbing that 33-song hill? Howzabout a sequel to “Friday I’m In Love,” Rob? Just think: “Thursday’s Underrated.” Writes its fucking self. Any other suggestions?
