The English singer-songwriter and musician (The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and The Glove) was born on this day in 1959.\n--\n\"Cities in Dust\" is from their seventh studio album, Tinderbox. \n--\nThis song describes the fate of the city of Pompeii, buried during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.\n\nAnd if you're part of Gen X, you also were pretty sure it was a description of our Cold War future.
