Fans Be Patient

Revisado: 03-13-24

As a die hard Cure fan, I was a bit disappointed by this book. I understand it was a monumental task to gather all the bits and pieces related to The Cure for this project. But what I do notice as well is that they apparently didn’t have anybody fact checking the facts. At times the narrator says the inspiration for “Killing an Arab” was the book “The Stranger” by Albert Camus, (true) but in other entries they say it was “The Outsider” (false). We can also hear one of the narrators consistently pronounce the name David Bowie as David “Bauwee”, Robert would be appalled by this as David Bowie is perhaps his biggest musical hero. There is a segment around the letter “R” where the narrator’s voice has a wierd echo that makes it hard to understand what he’s saying. It gradually gets worse until you can’t understand a thing he’s saying. Fortunately, this only goes on for about 5 mins. and then it stops. Another of the narrators keeps pronouncing the word “macho” as “makko”. Who is this man? Has he never heard that word before? He sounds like he’s 40 yrs old at the very least! At one point they say that Robert Smith appeared in the show “The Mighty Boosh” (he never was on that show). They later say that he was MENTIONED in the program which is true, but like I said he never APPEARED on the show. It’s little things like that which make me not want to trust a lot of the other facts they say here. They should’ve had real Cure fans listen to this audio to fact check it and for quality check. Anyway, I enjoyed hearing about a lot of the things I already knew with a nugget or two of new info here and there. If you’re not a hard core Cure fan you’ll thoroughly enjoy it, just take their facts with a grain of salt
because Jesus!

Coleman speaks the truth on race politics

Revisado: 02-07-24

Coleman is a formidable intelectual who sees beyond the color of a person’s skin. He speaks more truly along the lines of Martin Luther King than any of the so called antiracists of today. A voice for reason in these unreasonable times

I was hoping for more experiences

Revisado: 09-02-22

The author had to detail every aspect of his research; from the most mundane and boring things like what buttons he had to push to access the pharmacy within the hospital to the astounding testimonies of the volunteers. Much of the book is spent on the tediousness of acquiring the permits and approval of the FDA that I almost fell asleep. I’d say only about 30% of the book is the stories we want to hear and the rest is not very interesting. He wrote this book mainly as a way to cover his back in case anybody wanted to criticize his research. Every aspect of it is told in the book. I suppose if you yourself are a researcher you might find it useful
