The Sinister Sounds of the '50S, '60S, '70S, '80S, and Beyond… Alt-Nation: The Sinister Sounds of the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, and beyond… An Evening with Lol Tolhurst, Founding Member of The Cure I’ve been a fan of The Cure for almost 30 years and don’t recall anything remotely related to them ever happening in Providence. That is part of what makes this a special night as co-founder Lol Tolhurst comes to town to promote his new book, Cured: A Tale of Two Imaginary Boys, which chronicles his time in the band as well as his lifelong friendship with Robert Smith who he has known since they were 5 years old. Tolhurst played drums and keyboards on such staples as Boys Don’t Cry, The Head on the Door, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, and Disintegration, among others, before leaving the band in 1989. For this event, Tolhurst will do a meet and greet where one can get a signed copy of Cured: A Tale of Two Imaginary Boys and you can ask him all those burning questions like why do Cure songs go from manically depressing to manically giddy, what Robert Smith’s preferred brand of lipstick is, and why Tolhurst left the band when they finally attained mass commercial success. In addition to the book signing, there will be dancing as Tolhurst and John O’Leary hit the decks to spin some new wave goth salsa for the soul. Advance tickets are going fast, so don’t snooze and lose. Midday Records and Alchemy present an evening with Lol Tolhurst, founding member of The Cure, which will go down at Dusk on February 18. Sha Na Na Watching Sha Na Na’s television show as a kid was one of the first things that got me into rock ‘n’ roll. While I can’t say I’ve followed anything they’ve done since, other than maybe part of an episode that was on a Ramones DVD, I’ve always respected that ’50s greaser throwback shtick. Sha Na Na did not invent nostalgia, but for the past four decades they have made a career out of celebrating it. From Grease to Woodstock, Sha Na Na has been there. This is a night to put on the black leather jacket, slick back the hair and cut loose to the sounds of the ’50s. Sha Na Na a Rock & Roll Celebration comes to the Greenwich Odeum in East Greenwich on February 18. John Doe Co-founder of the legendary ’70s Los Angeles punk band X, John Doe comes to Newport to get his troubadour thing on. Whether it is performing with X or solo, Doe has always been a voice of reason amidst the chaos of the world. Doe’s voice is arguably needed now more than any other time in his career given the polarizing times. I caught Doe solo several years ago at the old Jake’s, and he is one of those transcendental performers who just takes you places. I bought everything off his merch table, which, judging by my CD collection, amounted to thee albums. I’m sure he has more now. It isn’t X, rather more stripped raw blood and guts. It isn’t really all that far from later day X material like “See How We Are” and “4th of July” in reality. As an added bonus, also on this bill is Lenny Lashley of Darkbuster fame and Aquidneck Island legend Bob Kendall in what promises to be a night that will make memories for a lifetime. John Doe, Lenny Lashley, and Bob Kendall, Sammy Kay will rock the Café at the Parlor in Newport on February 24. Blue Oyster Cult I saw Blue Oyster Cult was coming and was first suspicious in a “is this like when The Temptations tour with their grandkids’ next door neighbor performing as the band” way. But I was pleasantly surprised as they do have two members — singer Eric Bloom and guitarist Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser — who have logged 45 years in the band. Blue Oyster Cult is one of those weird bands that I’ve come to appreciate more as the years go on. They are kind of like the B movie version of a ’70s hard rock band. They never totally sold out into the horror aspect, like an Alice Cooper, but they still have a hit like “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper.” One minute they come off as an alternative Grand Funk Railroad and the next minute they are doing an arguably fiercer and faster version of “Kick Out the Jams” than the MC5. A Blue Oyster Cult compilation can jump from the infectious but neutered ’80s rock “Dancin’ in the Ruins” to the sledgehammer thunder of “This Ain’t the Summer of Love.” “Burnin’ for You” is also like the perfect song. I am literally counting down the days to this show. Blue Oyster Cult rock the Stadium Theatre in Woonsocket on February 24. Buffy Sainte-Marie My introduction to the music of Buffy Sainte-Marie was my roommate in college blasting her record. Not knowing anything about her at the time, the vocals were what really stood out. Sainte-Marie’s voice would be haunting one moment on “Codeine” and resilient the next on “Universal Soldier.” It was folk music that could punch you in the gut and act as a call to arms. At the time, I was listening to a lot of Donovan, who covered her, so that also gave her extra street cred. Sainte-Marie was blacklisted from radio by two Presidents and J. Edgar Hoover, yet appeared on Sesame Street. The latter she initially turned down before changing her mind to represent Native Americans. This is another show that should be one for the ages. Make sure to get there in time for The Huntress and Holder of Hands who open the show. Buffy Sainte-Marie and The Huntress and Holder of Hands will play the Columbus Theatre on February 25. Neutrinos – Surf Cult EP Release Show Straight out of Attleboro come Neutrinos with a new EP, Surf Cult, that is ready to drop. Neutrinos are like the perfect surf punk soundtrack to a pizza party. I listened to a track from Surf Cult and it sounded like The Queers on acid. In addition to Neutrinos, this show has the garage psych-surf enthusiasts Atlantic Thrills and Harvey Garbage for what promises to be a rock ‘n’ roll melee. Neutrinos, Atlantic Thrills, and Harvey Garbage will join forces to rock Dusk on February 25. Email music news to [email protected].

  • My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Last Sunday, As I Was Walking out Of
    Homily for the Diocesan Youth Conference Carlinville The Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year A March 1, 2014 + Most Reverend Thomas John Paprocki Bishop of Springfield in Illinois My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, last Sunday, as I was walking out of a restaurant in Chicago, the hostess made a comment about all of the negative things that are happening in the world. She lamented the fact that the news is filled with story after story about bad things. She even asked the question with a bit of despair in her voice: “What’s happening to this world?!?” Such a reaction is not uncommon particularly among older people as they see the values that were so dominant in their earlier years seemingly being overturned in the younger generations. As a result, many of these people have a less than optimistic outlook regarding the future and may even be critical of young people in general. It is, of course, unfair to make such generalizations about young people. In fact, many young people share these views. A Rasmussen poll this week had only 32% of those polled saying the country is headed in the right direction, with 61% saying 2 we’re on the wrong track. A Gallup poll in December had only 39% of respondents saying that they saw America in a positive position, with less than half thinking it will be better in five years.1 We cannot be blind to the fact that there are some elements of truth in these observations, elements which should cause each of us, young and old, to consider how we should respond to these challenges in our world.

They had their own sound, an eerie glamour surrounding a dark whimsicality, yet fans flocked to them throughout the '80s and '90s. Commercial or cult favorites, they're impressive as being one of the '80s' seminal bands who culled more than 30 critical singles. Compilations like 1986's Staring at the Sea: The Singles and 1997's Galore showcased the Cure's accessibility; therefore, having a solid greatest-hits collection might be a bit nonessential. Then again, releasing an album like this at the tip of the new millennium calls for a celebration, and that's what the Cure did.

Originally released as a french promo disc in 1989, the eight-track Entreat - recorded at London's Wembley Arena in July 1989 - was released commercially in 1990. Remixed by Robert Smith in July 2009, this expanded edition includes 4 previously unreleased tracks to replicate a full live performance of the 1989's epic album Disintegration.

  • When the Cure Was Worse Than the Disease: a Look Back on When the Medical Profession Wasn’T So Reliable: By: Riley Wentzler & Felicia Barber
    When the Cure was Worse than the Disease: A Look back on When The Medical Profession Wasn’t so Reliable: By: Riley Wentzler & Felicia Barber The Center for Disease Control and Prevention lists the symptoms of coronavirus as: • Fever • Cough • Shortness of breath • Persistent pain or pressure in the chest • Other body aches (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms- testing/symptoms.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fco ronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fabout%2Fsymptoms.html) Today, most of these symptoms are easily and reliably treated. Have a fever? Take Tylenol. Have a cough?? Take Delsym. Chest pain? Take aspirin. However, in centuries past, common ailments were treated using methods that were ineffective at best and drastically harmful at worst. In the 1800s, the chest pains and other body aches associated with coronavirus would have been treated with snake oil (https://www.history.com/news/7-of-the- most-outrageous-medical-treatments-in-history). Clark Stanley, a.k.a “The Rattlesnake King” was the first snake oil salesman. He claimed that his product came from rattlesnakes and was ancient Hopi medicine to treat all sorts of aches and pains. This was a bold face lie. Mr. Stanley didn’t know anything about Hopi medicine and, consequently, whatever he had in those bottles, it didn’t actually come from rattlesnakes. It was also completely useless as a painkiller. However such was the state of the medical profession at that time that many doctors took him at his word, and began proscribing it (https://www.history.com/news/7-of-the- most-outrageous-medical-treatments-in-history).

We were five years old.So began a lifelong friendship that fourteen years later would result in the formation of The Cure, a quintessential post-punk band whose albums-such as Three Imaginary Boys, Pornography, and Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me-remain among the best-loved and most influential of all time.As two of the first punks in the provincial English town of Crawley, Lol Tolhurst and Robert Smith didnt have it easy. Outsiders from the start, theirs was a friendship based initially on proximity and a shared love of music, from the punk that was raging in nearby London to the groundbreaking experimentation of David Bowies Berlin Trilogy. First known as The Easy Cure, they began playing in pubs and soon developed their own unique style and approach to songwriting, resulting in timeless songs that sparked a deep sense of identification and empathy in listeners, songs like Boys Dont Cry, Just Like Heaven, and Why Cant I Be You?, spearheading a new subculture dubbed Goth by the press.
