Back in the 80's I knew a guy who really liked the band The Cult. And I liked them too, for that matter. One time when we were sitting around with one of their tapes playing, I happened to mention that (Cult lead singer) Ian Astbury had gone to a high school only a few blocks from the one I went to. (Astbury lived in Hamilton, ON in the mid-to-late 70's http://www.juicemagazine.com/THECULT.html) A few weeks later we went to see The Cult, who were plaing the CNE Grandstand. In a relatively quieter moment, between two songs, he turned to his best friend, gestured toward me, and told him, "She used to see Ian Astbury walking to school back in high school." Gotta love the way stories can get embellished that quickly, don't you?  In all fairness, though, maybe he just misinterpreted what I originally said, and thought that's what I meant. But he probably just thought it sounded like a better story that way.

That was the Electric tour, so this song hadn't been recorded yet, but it's a good one. It's from the band's fourth album, Sonic Temple (1989).
