I think we're all hoping it's geffen, not robert.

I think it's safe to say that one definitely IS some geffen monkey...

still, it's pretty silly for someone who's as business-savvy as robert is, not to approve such a press release before it's posted. he seems to take care of so many details in the band- it's surprising that he would allow that kind of crap to represent the band.

This whole entire thing could've been gone about in SUCH a better manner. People would've taken the news a lot more easily, for one thing. There'd be a TON less drama. I never dreamed that I'd find so much drama surrounding The Cure... which is odd. I mean, take a look at the whole Pornography breakdown. Thank goodness we didn't have the internet back then. It would've been a total Robert vs. Simon showdown...
...but I guess I thought that those times were behind, since everyone's done a bit of growing up since then...

that's the problem with unmoderated forums. to many idiots running around. i can understand robert getting upset based upon what comments i've been reading. geffen should take a note from the afi board, and learn how it should be done. first rule of band forums: don't diss the band and their actions. that's what unofficial boards like ours (not that we'd ever do such a thing) and that other cure forum are for. i just have a problem with people being rude like that. that being said, this whole cof thing is childish, and i can understand how both parties are upset. but geez people, lets not have a coronary over this. change happens. accept it and move no. if anything, people should be happy that robert is at least communicating with them, right?

oh, and its really lame and crapey to stop liking a band because certain members may or may not be acting like whiney prats. guess what? this has happened before, and it will just make the music stronger. we have no idea what it was like for them all, so frankly mr. shankly, its not up to us to say what's best for the band. its really sad that some people are choosing to stop liking them over this. if that's the case, than i can't belive you're really that big of a fan in the first place. sorry.

well said, leo!
I have to admit, robert's a pretty brilliant marketer. this little tiff could easily be calmed down with a direct, no-nonsense post from him, but instead, he chooses to quote philosophers & movies to remain just ambiguous enough to keep the fires going.
the 'your name begins with c... or j... ' thing was pretty funny actually, but the first time I read it I thought he'd lost his mind! when I re-read it, the tone sounded more playful- as if he were just goofing on craig while making the point about rumors.
he must be pleased with the increased traffic on the official site- I know I've been there more in the last week than in the last 8 months, even though it still sucks!
