Talk:Robert Smith (musician)

"His hair is legendary" is questionable for inclusion in this article as not only is it kind of trivial but is not detailed enough, as it neglects the period c.1988 when he cut his hair for just the reason of statements such as these. --Daniel C. Boyer

discography

This discography is basically just the Cure's. It could be made more complete (e.g. blue sunshine, blink 182 self-titled, the relevant siouxie albums, the albums he's recently produced) or simply dropped. Jon Dowland 17:13, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I am going to get rid of it. This is The Cure's discography, not Smith's. 66.61.143.204 21:50, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

south park appearance

I've rved an edit which contained the following sentence only:

He also appeared on an episode of South Park, in which he battled an evil Barbra Streisand.

I did this because it was tacked onto the end of the para regarding John Peel. The page should be kept in some kind of chronological order. According to List_of_South_Park_episodes#Season_1:_1997-1998, that south park episode was aired in February 18, 1998, so this sentence belongs before the Peel one (and perhaps others).

I haven't stuck the sentence back into the article as I think it could also be expressed better (E.g. Barbara spelt correctly)

Vegetarian?

Really?!?! I remember back in the 80s he says "If Morrissey says to not eat meat, I'm gonna eat meat because I hate Morrissey!" Could someone please give a source to his vegetarianism, thanks.

Well, here's an interview from 1984 where (a third of the way down) he says he hasn't eaten red meat for a year: http://www.musicfanclubs.org/cure/press/I28.html Other than that much, there's not much else that my web searches reveal, so either he's changed his mind or just doesn't talk about it much. --Stuart mcmillen 15:08, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Gay?

Rumor? --Psycho78m 23:00, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

• Yes. Folkor 20:53, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

• I don't think so...i've heard he has a fiancee or a long time girlfriend or something like that.
• He's married...to a woman. Though I must admit he does seem kind of..."gay".

• Yes, he's married. To a woman. And has been since 1988, when he married his long-time love (they had known each other since adolescence, so it's said), Mary. Type "Mary Smith" or "Mary Poole" into Google...

Picture

I would have to say the recently uploaded picture looks strange to me. I wouldn't call it a characteristic picture of RS from his heyday or from now. May I suggest a change? Folkor 06:22, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

• I second that...maybe use something from the cure's press kit?

This page needs a clean up as it has currently looks like a Cure fans bedroom wall. I think it only needs one picture, if any. WhizzBang 08:11, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Clinical Depression?

I removed the statement and Category regarding Clinical Depression.

There is no basis in fact in the Article. No reference to when and by whom this diagnosis was made.

Collaborations

I added his cowriter/vocalist collab with JunkieXL for "Perfect Blue Sky."

I suggest changing the classification of the Blank and Jones version of "A Forest" from a "remix" to a "cover." While the distinction between the two is often blurred these days, "A Forest" is an entirely new recording by B&J featuring new vox by Smith. Since it contains no parts from the original recording, it's probably better termed a "cover." --Nulldevice 19:24, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
