i was thinking about this on the way in this am (yes i had nothing else to do ) and you know, i could see roger wanting to leave. esp. if they thought there'd be no cure action this year, and with him finally getting his new album (and erin's) and hopefully trying to tour this year, i can understand him maybe just feeling frustrated and unhappy again. but hey, what do i know? nu-thing

I've thought the same thing, leo- but didn't dare say it on here (too upsetting!). on his site, he mentioned negotiating a record contract- that sounded to me like he's ready to do his own thing... he seems to really be enjoying creating his own music, and faced with the choice of continuing that or going back to work with ross... if he's set financially, I'd expect him to choose his music.
the perry part of the rumor doesn't make any sense, but who knows?

yeah. i could deal with losing roger, because i know he'll keep doing his music, so we'll still get to see him (or at least hear him). but i'd be really sad about perry, because i don't know if he'd go solo or just hang out, you know? the hard part is just the thought that the ones that leave might never make music again. but hey, not to jinx anything ;D

with ya on that! and on a lighter note- did you catch the tagline on cof? >> www.chainofflowers.com"Dealing in rumors, not news, since June 1996" ; ) << (that oughtta be worth about 3 more days of sniping and conspiracy theories from the goofballs on the 'official site.')

I saw that last night and really laughed.... I actually sent Craig an e-mail telling him pretty much the same stuff I said on the official site... I've never done stuff like this before!

And I got an email telling me about the European dates today.... with this tag-line....Reminder: www.thecure.com deals in news not rumors... doesn't deal in European spelling though, obviously....

roger's website sounds like he didn't leave- he was let go... that absolutely sucks! I'd hoped that at least it would be for good reasons, like moving on with his musical career.

Seriously, after the shock of the first rumour, I was kind of over it... until I read Roger's message. It broke my heart! I'd also always imagined that he was the one doing the leaving, and not being left...
This was also the start to my day. I woke up to my phone ringing. It was Justina. She apologized for waking me up, and said that she had some bad news about The Cure, if I wanted to hear. I basically had a "bring it on!" mentality. But... it hurts. Just all the drama surrounding this. Poor Roger! What a way to find out, indeed! No wonder Robert was so upset with A Chain of Flowers.... imagine poor Roger calling up, "Robert! What's going on? Are you letting me go?" "Well, about that..." I don't think I'm as sad that they won't be there anymore as I am just plain sad FOR them... does that make any sense?
It feels like the end is near... does anyone else have this feeling, or is it just me? Still, I'm going to try to keep the faith. For starters, I am going to wear my "Faith" pin today. Perhaps Emily will wear her Perry shirt....
In better news, I can't WAIT to see Roger in concert someday!
