  • "That's what I like about Smithy, he's a very paradoxical character. Everything he is, he isn't. He's very pretentious but he isn't. He`s always black yet he's white and The Cure are one of the stupidest bands you could ever work with yet they're the brightest, the most intelligent. They're the noisest but they can be the quietest - that's what I love about them. Robert says he's like a child but he isn't, he's too intelligent."
    Tim Pope, 1986

    At a concert in Adelaide AU he stopped midway through a song and told the audience he had a funny thought "A dyslexic devil worshipper sold his soul to Santa", and just picked up and continued where they left off.

    I love how he wants to be funny and silly but he's so generally anxious that he always just ditches and goes back to being straight faced. It's hard to articulate but as someone with a similar disposition its very easy to notice.

      Yes i think so too. People might label as thats just how he chooses to present himself, but honestly it just comes down to being awkward. But its very refreshing to see that from someone who is supposed to be a cocky rockstar
