The Cure!

Back in the mid-to-late 80s when The Cure came to town, a buddy of mine didn't have the money left over after buying his ticket to buy any official merch, but he did have enough to buy a bootleg t-shirt in the parking lot, with a tiny The Cure decal cheaply ironed into the breast pocket.

Next day in school, many were sporting their brand new t-shirts with THE CURE HEAD ON THE DOOR NORTH AMERICAN TOUR 1986 or whatever it was.
A stoner guy approached my friend with his tiny "The Cure" t-shirt and the exchange went something like this:

"Hey man... where'd you get the shirt?"
"At the Cure concert."
"Oh for sure, for sure..." as he turned and walked away.
