The Cure’s Robert Smith Leaves Stage To Arrest Disorderly Confederate Soldiers

At least that’s what it looked like to me.

But upon further inspection, it’s not Smith; it’s a UT campus policeman, arresting one of the Kappa Alphas during their traditional (and illegal) “confederate swim” in Littlefield Fountain. Bet that wouldn’t fly nowadays on any side of the aisle.

Goth rock and the Confederacy are indeed unusual bedfellows!

I know nothing about the Cure but I can’t imagine the triggering if some kids dressed like that now.

  Yeah, it’s no longer a tradition. The lead singer of The Cure just always had scraggly bangs and his face so it looked like the cop.

No, Robert Smith ain’t authorized to arrest Confederates, anyway.
