    "comment": "RIP Perry Bamonte, guitarist and keyboardist with The Cure, who we just lost this month.\n\n“The Blood” was inspired by a Portuguese wine named “Tears Of Christ” ( Robert Smith changed it to “blood of Christ” using “poetic license”). 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",
