Hah my music player still shows "Close to me" by the Cure. My first thought was, "wow when did they go this direction?" It just about reset my whole world view picturing Robert Smith singing like Marvin Gaye.

So many questions...like, why do you live in a hotel room? Why are there always people there, dancing? Is all of this merriment somehow related to work?



My imagination has run wild with possible scenarios, but I'm guessing the truth is somewhat mundane. Some help would be appreciated.

I've wondered the same thing. Seemed like a fun time during his recordings.

Micheal? Who'd he heal? I drive thru Gary, IN all the time and drive by the Jackson "Mansion" regularly. Pretty sad place, considering.

Yes, and like, are these other people the same people all the time, or do different people come and go?  Are you all talking or doing something other than listening and dancing, or are you all just listening and dancing all day?  And what do you all do when that downer "Mad World" song comes on?  Certainly can't dance to that. . .

Either you're very young and/or have a limited knowledge of - or exposure to - the history of popular music.  For one example, Aretha Franklin is from Detroit, aside from scores of bands and artists whose work you may not consider "talented".  Where would you prefer your list "of vocal talent" originate from?

Like a lot of successful musicians, he likely had a very dedicated cadre of professional party people. The currency...who knows?

Why does Bill always play this song after the Cure's "Close to Me"?  There has to be a reason for it.  When I hear the end of "Close to Me" now, I wait for the beginning of this one.  What's the connection?
 
They're both cuts off of "Best Of" compilations.

That's all I can think of.
