I played a show in Houston and put the moves on the bartender and I ended up doing a long distance thing, and I would fly out and see her now and again. She said that Ian had earlier tried to put the moves on her and she was "eww no way. He's not old like you (36), he's old-old (maybe 47?)"

So for one brief proud moment I guess I was cooler than him. While also far less cool. or talented. or rich. or accomplished.

^^^That’s awesome. It’s the little wins that count the most, right?

Back around ‘89/90 in MA, I was dating a girl who’s older sister was dating Nuno Bettencourt. I felt kinda cool by association. 😂

Pretty much everyone. Including me and you. No-one associated with The Cult has ever been "cool" except maybe Billy around the time of the Love album.

I guess some women prefer the gentleness of a man with a small penis.

Alex Mitchell of Circus of Power pulled off the bandana look successfully a few times back in the day, so I'll go with him. The Cult is a pretty cool band, though.

No, we're talking about Ian, not Wolfgang.

Morrison was a twat and Astbury chose to become a parody of a twat. And that came after his phase of pretending he was Native American.

I got no use for either. But what ever cool Morrison had was lost on me and its still more than Astbury. Not an original thought in that dudes head.
