I'm not going to worry about the Cure slipping down into the second division; it doesn't bother me because I never expected to be in the first division anyway.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been talking about unifying the division for a long time.
For a period in the '90s, I felt that the Cure was massively undervalued. But there has been a paradigm shift. There's a bunch of newer bands coming up who've grown up listening to the Cure and don't understand that you're not supposed to like us.
I invite everyone to chose forgiveness rather than division, teamwork over personal ambition.
I started listening to the Cure around the time I discovered Joy Division and, like Joy Division, they have shaped my taste in all sorts of dark and dreary ways.
It's been a difficult thing because some great opportunities have come and I've just been holding my breath and praying... I'm basically gambling hoping something will come along this season and if not, I don't know what the future holds.
Part of the reason I joined Joy Division was so that I really wouldn't have to grow up.
Those who seek to profit by division don't stand a chance.
At the end of the day, we must go forward with hope and not backward by fear and division.
I'm the best in the division. I know I am.
My goal is to unify the division. Whoever's got those belts, that's who I want.
