[@SuperMiley1994]

I feel like the interviewer truly respects Robert Smith and I love that.

[@SuperMiley1994]

He's so sweet and welcoming towards Robert. Great guy. Most of the time the hosts are kind of an ass to musicians but this guy is just awesome.

[@Elephant334]

How can you not respect Robert Smith

[@AMSRMX16]

Coincidentally his name is Paul Thompson, and was a friend of Roberts.

[@empireman1077]

He could of stayed with Siouxsie & the Banshees I wonder if they still stay in touch ?

[@Elephant334]

Robert Smith, you made the world so much bearable for us awkward artistic minded teenagers, growing up in tedious villages in late eighties rural Norway. Thank you!

[@steveshorter]

That is very specific haha

[@paperchain1239]

That is so true and nicely put.

[@mojopin70]

And in rural England on the border with Wales, in fact my best friend looked exactly like Smith and dressed the same in the late 80s.

[@myfragilelilac]

I can relate a lot.. but early 00s Sweden here. :) Would have loved to be a part of them in the 80s.

[@OlavLadnav]

Were The Cure very popular in Norway back in the day? I wonder, because Varg Vikernes admitted that his most favorite song was The Forest by The Cure.

[@stephenvelez9710]

he's absolutely adorable.

[@BroskiRIP]

I'm not gay pal, but he is quite captivating. Not in a way of me wanting to do stuff with him in that way, but just a cool cat who happens to look attractive as he looks like a woman, but I am only into women my friend, that is just the way I sway. Just confident enough in my straightness that I can admire this stud man who is lovely to the eyes.

Robert Smith is absolutely adorable. He’s smart, clever, funny, has a sense of humour, writes beautiful lyrics, and is so cool and talented. I love that Mary and him have been together all their lives, they’re together for love not for his money or fame. He so humble and not at all conceited. I love him! Puts all the divas to shame. Proud to be British, what a legend! Robert Smith is awesome!

That episode literally compelled me to go buy a copy of “Disintegration” from my record store. Before then, I had only been a casual fan. I always loved “Kiss Me...”, but holy hell, sitting down and letting Disintegration take over my house was a different experience. To this day I feel like I’ve been in another world for some time by the time I reach the title-track. “DISINTEGRATION IS THE BEST ALBUM EVER!”

This was just months after he let me kiss him. I gave him my extracted wisdom teeth as a gift which he loved. Simon thought it was gross. 😝 😆 I took the band club hopping downtown after the show in Detroit and spent the night ordering room service with them at the Renaissance Centre Hotel in Detroit. First time I tried capers. I wanted pancakes. Robert phoned the kitchen and asked for them to bring some up to our room. They said it was 3 a.m. and the kitchen wouldn't cook anything. So Robert, the gentleman that he is (and a wee bit drunk at the time ~ " Socially Drinking" 😆), asked if they would bring up some pancake batter and a hotplate, so he could make them for me himself. Unfortunately, the kitchen declined. So we ate assorted garnishes like capers. 😆 I was 19 and my parents had no knowledge of this great secret escapade. They're both gone now. It was the most spectacular night of my life. Thank you, Father Bob. p.s. You're a fabulous dancer.
