Outsiders from the start, theirs was a friendship based initially on proximity and a shared love of music. They began playing together in pubs and soon developed their own unique style and approach to songwriting, resulting in timeless songs that sparked a deep sense of identification and empathy in listeners and spawning a new subculture dubbed \"Goth\" by the press. But there was also a dark side to The Cure's intense and bewildering success. Tolhurst was nursing a growing alcoholism that would destroy his place in The Cure and nearly end his life. Intensely lyrical and evocative, gripping and unforgettable, this is the definitive story of a singular band whose legacy endures many decades hence, told from the point of view of a participant and eyewitness who was there when it happened--and even before it all began.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51499373822240,"sku":"NEW0306825813","price":16.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":51499373855008,"sku":"USED0306825813","price":15.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/content_f7434404-76c0-41a1-911a-bcb7d6deea03.jpg?v=1776703897","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/cured-the-tale-of-two-imaginary-boys-0306825813","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
