The BowieNet Cyber Song Contest “What’s Really Happening“, as we all know wasa smashing success. Entries came in from all over the world. Well it turnsout that various members of the legendary UK band – The Cure – submittedlyrics along with us mere mortals!

None of the boys won – or even made it tothe finals…..but we might send them a mousepad for their efforts. PS – Keepan eye out for a new Cure CD during 1999, with hopefully a tour to follow.

Check out the Cure at their website www.thecure.com.It’s a great site!
