He said in 1985: It’s a very cheap Portuguese wine, it’s a very heavy drink that all the workers drink… it’s about 12p a bottle. I was given a bottle of it and I drank it, and I noticed the label, which is the Virgin Mary with Baby Jesus under one arm and a bottle in the other hand. It was completely brilliant. […] I was convinced I was Portuguese, I just sank into this reverie of being a Portuguese flamenco guitarist. -- See The Cure perform \"The Blood\" live in 2005: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-aDcy50c5k", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
