Tim Pope just updated his site after his visit to South America:
"How lovely to be home again and to hear the peaceful sounds of the English countryside after my mad adventure with The Cure in South America. What an adventure it was, though. Amazing concerts; the warmth of the fans; the different towns. Oh, did I mention the police escorts everywhere? My favourite one for sheer freneticism and exuberance was perhaps Asunción, Paraguay. Though Mexico might be a close second. The bikes seemed to dart in between our vans like dragonflies, missing our vehicles by millimetres. Anyway, we lived to tell the tale. Like I say, I thought The Cure were on top form and Robert's voice just seems to get better and stronger"
