I like this a lot!
QuoteRobert Smith, Cure keyboard-player Roger O'Donnell and I are in a black van rolling down a motorway somewhere between Zurich and the small southern German town of Singen. ...

The night before I meet The Cure I get an email from Smith – which, like all his others, IS ENTIRELY IN CAPITALS – informing me that as they have a show in Hamburg the night before he might be quiet and "a touch grumpy" when we first meet at baggage reclaim. However, I shouldn't worry as he guarantees he'll be "open and effusive" come midnight. What actually happens is he, like the rest of the band, is open and effusive and friendly and funny from the very first second we meet.

Such "behind-the-scenes" stuff is often fascinating to read for me.
Also Robert's replies are quite fun!
QuoteI don't want to be the responsible adult on stage, that's why I still drink.
(Don't try this at home kids!)  ;)
