Simon Gallup with The Cure, Coachella 2009

Ok, I’m stupid. I was browsing Wikipedia for celeb birthdays and saw this:


Gee, I have a pic of The Cure’s bassist, I thought. So I dug into the archives and found the previously unpublished pic above. I re-processed and uploaded, and then I launched a full social blast on all channels to display my cleverness. Just one problem. Phil Thornalley isn’t the real Cure bassist. He was a one-time fill-in/producer. Debi Del Grande correctly laughed at me and pointed out my gaffe. Thanks, Debi! Boy, I feel stupid. The picture I have is of Simon Gallup, the real Cure bassist. So, Happy Birthday Phil… and there is a pic of Simon whose birthday it is not. Cool? Cool. Then go see all of Debi’s pics of The Cure. #1 Superfan!

Here’s the one we used for Yahoo! Music:
