@80smusicisawesome the interview really is from 1986, but the tv-show was made and broadcast in the early 90s. they showed a short excerpt of fascination street live in leipzig 1990 before they faded into this old interview from the archive. :-)

Robert is nearly always very good to interviewers and fans. There have been exceptions of course, he has been a professional musician for more than 40 years, but in general he is incapable of being rude or snooty. He is just very kind.

Adorable and way too happy? Love the "not lost in translation" He was listening to everything she said 💯💥

omg....so in love..sigh...

So sweet!

I loved Robert Smith since the very beginning. Never saw this interview in 80s...if we only had KZread 😊😊😊😊.

He's so sweeeeet

What a sweetheart

Love the Cure, but I love Simple Minds too.

Love his smile at 1:24..

hilariously mesmerizing!!! Robert:"don't expect me to drink the whole beer mug lady, that's not what we English Knights we are all about,(sarcastically) we are about spacing out, in our smear up make up listening to the voices in our heads, while giving interviews to reporters that can't translate appropriately and still conspiring against us"(by the frown on his face).
