“To Hell with that ‘Old’ Sh!t, You’re xx years YOUNG!” -Andye That’s right, you’re only as “old” as you feel and from what we can see Curt is feeling (and looking) just fine…
Okay that’s not the way we would normally start a birthday wish but isn’t it fitting? On behalf of the Fan Travel Team we want to wish our Good Man Curt Smith a great birthday. While several fans spent the week in Curt’s third home city, Los Angeles, hanging out and enjoying the sun, Curt was away in Italy with his beloved family. For the entire 5+ days he sent photo after photo, update after update. We got to see great scenes and sites as he took us along with him. Be sure to scan his twitter newsfeed for all of the great photos…
In addition to going to Italy via internet with this magnificent man, we were treated to an online party hosted by Carri D (Silver Kitty Sherlock) and Joyce of the Manila Fan Travel Team. Both ladies put together a spectacular virtual event with a magical FB wall filled with love and greetings for this legendary rock star. Fans all over the globe are flocking to his wall to upload grand montages featuring their favourite pictures of Curt Smith. It’s been an action packed month for fans and the band! We wish all those travelling back and forth from coast to coast…and in his case continent to continent…
SAFE TRAVELS!!
So what’s new with this cool guy? He’s headed home to continue working on the next Tears For Fears album with his pal Ravishing Rollie Sunshine/Roland O. We like to think of them as “BFFs for life…” He also has a solo album on the way called “Deceptively Heavy” and we’re just eagerly awaiting its release as we do just about anything the band puts together.
Cheers to you Curt Smith, Joyeux Anniversaire, Sana Helowa ya Curt wa Happy Birthday!

Craziest Birthday Quote,
“Go tell Curt and his gorgeous wife to get up on that table and dance dance dance!!” -AA
::all giggles::
There was a video of fans dancing that went along with that quote but in the excitement of it all, things just got wild and out of control…we’ll stick with this Arabic Birthday Song featuring languages of active fan team members and the infamous “!!!zaghareets!!!”
Tears for Fears Travel Fans 
It’s wonderful to hear about Curt Smith celebrating his birthday in such a special way.
I just discovered this group and thought this is the place to ask…
I attended my FIRST TFF show on Oct 22, in Vegas (My 50th birthday). We got tickets at stage level, not floor but were flabbergasted by the lackluster crowd. I’ve seen more movement at the symphony. The people sitting around us were chatting before the show about how they hope nobody stands up so they can’t see! I’ve been to many shows recently, including OMD, Depeche Mode, Howard Jones, ABC, and the crowds were standing and dancing! People who came in with walkers spent a good portion of the time standing. (I understand that some folks have to take breaks. I have fibromyalgia myself) Was it the venue that caused this attitude or is it the vibe of all TFF shows now? I want to see them again but not like that. The band was amazing but I did not feel free to dance and enjoy the show due to the fans. Even a good portion of the sides of the floor crowd sat like they were watching a movie. I’m flabbergasted.
Thank you for noting that. Happy Belated Birthday. Several spent milestone birthdays with the TFF Travel team last year. Glad to see another person was there at the show honouring their own life with such a wonderful set of musicians. We have made comments about “those who sit stone-face” in the past. We find that those outside the Tears for Fears travel fans often show up at concerts out of “curiosity” vs. a party spirit. In future, stand up anyway. If someone says something to you about it, get one of the ushers. Also let us know about it and include your seat number. If they push or try to harm you we need that information to track them down and report it. You have a right to stand. There’s a post here in the archives where Curt literally addressed the crowd when they all sat in Morristown New Jersey. We don’t know if it’s a regional thing or what. We did learn that some locals attended the shows out of curiosity and perhaps they see so many shows they don’t have a party spirit. However, even chair dancing is appreciated. We have SEVERAL people who fly to the shows for healing and medical purposes. They can’t stand up or in some cases have to sit/stand and are currently using mobility aids (of all ages). They still chair dance, raise their arms and show enthusiasm. What we have seen at some sister concerts (DD, etc.) people sitting a lot more. It’s something that we should continue to discuss. Have a great day and thank you again for your comment.
