He explained that when the Cure first started it was kind of enough that we did what we did.
Smith added, I didnt, as a consumer, I didnt expect something more.
It was enough to see Alex Harvey or to see David Bowie.
And it can feel quite threatening, honestly.
If you have people sleeping outside your front door, it can get very weird.
Youre dealing with people who perhaps arent quite right all the time.
You think, how do you respond to this?
Its impossible, really.
You cant be trained to do that.
Dynamic pricing, it goes on across all different industries and its a con, basically.
