Finding the Cure

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

I think my favorite part of today’s strip is Ray’s comment. Is she saying that Frizz’s “death to film” comment from friday’s strip is genius, and she now is in shock, contemplating it’s monumental significance? Or is she finally understanding how ridiculous Frizz really is?

Only time will tell. Ray and Frizz’s “relationship” (if you can even call it that) is very weird.

In other news, I saw one of my favorite bands the other day: The Cure! I was super excited about this show, their bassist, Simon Gallup, was a huge influence on me as a bassist, and I even felt like I approached the instrument similar to his unique approach before I even heard him, so finding him was like finding a kindred spirit…

Of course, Robert Smith was in top form as well. It wasn’t exactly the lineup I wanted to see… it was weird without Roger on keys – in fact, there were no keys at all on anything, which was odd and a little dissapointing. Also, there was some technical problems with the sound, it seemed, but despite that, it was still a great show, and I was thrilled and honored to be in the same room, paying tribute to one of my truly favorite bands of all time.

They were definitely near the top of the list of bands I NEEDED to see before I could die happy. Does anyone else out there have such a list? What bands do you NEED to see at some point in your life? Feel free to include bands that aren’t around anymore, that you lament not ever being able to see… (Jaco Pastorius might fit that bill for me, or maybe even Rage Against the Machine)
