I think there are many reasons to drink too much. Glad that Lol isn't an alcoholic for a very long time. Wish him all the best
It saddens me when I read that he was considered a poor drummer. I think he did a great job. It has to be one of the most high energy instruments to play, and he was always in time. Makes you wonder if he didn't feel appreciated enough, and this undermined his confidence. In Jeff Apter's book, Never Enough, The Story of the Cure, he chronicles the bad treatment Tolhurst seemed to get in the later years, the piss taking and tormenting...Robert Smith even spat on him. Not sure how much of that is true, but if it is, it's enough to make you turn to drink.
If Robert really treated Lol so bad, then it is no wonder that he drank too much, but I think we will never know it. Also don't think that he was a poor drummer or that he is a bad musician. Hope I can get a copy of his book
I walk wondering why, the same dream so many times
I wrote a song about Lol once. I was reading Cured, thinking about how he mustĀ“ve felt when he got RobertĀ“s letter, back after that horrible winter night in the studio where he stated half of Disintegration was good and the other half was Shirt. Still... it must have felt so downright horrible, nightmarish....
What do you think of the lyrics? I mean, I let myself be inspired by him. ItĀ“s not one hundred per cent only about Laurence. ... I think. I also understand Robert, of course. Maybe I should write a song about what I his feelings at the time to be like, too.

Did you write music too?
Sure do, but I donĀ“t publish it. I play the keys and the guitar, and I sing. But IĀ“m only satisfied with my keyboard melody. I donĀ“t know, my voice has already gotten much better, but I want to sound really good before I start uploading a whole song, you know?
