      Man, must be terrifying knowing that at one point you’ll lose it all, forget who you are, live a confused existence before eventual death…
      Sorry to get so morbid. Just a thought most can’t comprehend. I’m glad you’re making the most of all the time you have left. But you are right about one thing: the music never leaves you. So make a playlist, compile some CDs, have all your favorite music with you for the long haul. It’s your best companion to guide you through the minefield that is dementia. Good luck and I hope the rest of your life is as happy as it can be.

    The Cult’s Electric album was cranked up daily in my car in ‘87 when I was in high school. I remember a girl recommended it to me. I was blown away. Their videos did not get much play on MTV at that time. It wasn’t until they released Sonic Temple a few years later that MTV started hyping them up and playing them. The Cult should have been bigger.

      They were appreciated by people that knew good music. I think there was a lot of infighting and I'm sure drugs were involved. Ian Astbury can be mercurial and that's putting it mildly. Albums like Love, Electric, and Sonic Temple were awesome. I saw them in 2002-3 maybe? When the Album Somewhere between good and Evil was out. Been awhile. It was good but I'm not sure if they've released anything lately

      Yeah but you got to remember back then there was a lot of competition. Not to mention there may have been some political things going on in the background. It's always about politics and who you know in the big business world. Maybe the people that were handling the cult were not as Savvy in negotiating the high-powered world of Music records and Publishing.

      If you haven't already, you should delve into the history of The Cult. Check out The Southern Death Cult. This was the first incarnation with Ian Astbury, very goth but amazing songs, both lyrically and musically. Then The Death Cult, when Astbury joined forces with Billy Duffy. God's Zoo is a classic. After that they dropped the Death part and recorded Dreamtime :)

      They were quite big in the 80s but tbh they were their own worst enemies. Dramatic style changes (listen to Dreamtime and Love then compare it to Electirc and then compare them all to Sonic Temple), Ian's huge ego, massive excess and inconsistant live performaces (Ian was either a rock god or a tone deaf talentless noise poluter with nothing between the two coupled with his ability to never hit a cue) all combined to ensure they never hit the hights they truly deserved. And I say this as a man who got in to them when Dreamtime was released the first time around.
