I am going to see the Cure as a depressant aid for A. Not that I don't live in some sort of mildly amused awe over Robert Smith (I can even concede at least a semi-divinity for him), but I don't feel the spittle-inducing delight over his presence that characterises, say, J². But A says he wants me there, because the Cure depress him and he wants someone to hug when he feels that way. All things considered, I guess I would prefer it to be me and not J². Not that there's anything wrong with that... (Bizarre, isn't it? I never even watched Seinfeld and I can still quote it. Why is this sitcom entered into the cultural communal consciousness?)
