The Cure Pay Tribute to Prince. I saw the Cure last night at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. Great show! They did not play any Prince songs but Robert Smith played this purple guitar with the opening lyric from "Starfish and Coffee" on it! Many ways folks are finding to pay tribute.

What a very cool and subtle way to pay a tribute! Nice one! 'I loved him then, I love him now and will love him eternally. He's with our son now.' Mayte 21st April 2016 = the saddest quote I have ever read! RIP Prince and thanks for everything. | |

You can pay tribute in many ways. You don't have to murder one of his songs like Ellie Goulding did. Anyway love this tribute. Baby, you're a star.

The Cure is fantastic, thanks for telling this, and for sharing the picture.. Prince 4Ever.  | |

. I love The Cure. Robert Smith is such a poet. I've been listening to The Cure (their more darker stuff from the early 80's) since Prince's transition. Strangely, it helps. | |

I just finished reading that lukewarm concert review in the Minneapolis City Pages and was just about to post that picture but you were faster than me. The author does not even mention that opening line of Starfish and Coffee. He does mention that Robert Smith talked about the difficulty of playing a purple guitar there but....no mention of that line on the guitar. And the reviewer seems to complain about the length of the concert, and being a bit dull. I know people who really enjoyed that concert. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

Thank you! Actually I agree - I enjoyed it. I love it when artists put their own stamp on another song and do it well. Not just a repeat of the original. Whatever you heard about me is true

StarTribune has better review
Wonder why he picked this lyric? Super cool though. [Edited 6/8/16 12:46pm] | |
