Born on Nov 29: Michael Dempsey (The Cure)

Michael Dempsey (born 29 November 1958) is a bassist from England, who has performed as a member of several post-punk and New Wave bands including The Cure and Associates.

"Boys Don't Cry" was the second single to be released by The Cure, and was released in June 1979. Written by Dempsey, Robert Smith, and Lol Tolhurst, the lyrics tell the story of a man who has given up trying to regain the love of a girl that he has lost, and tries to disguise his true emotional state by "laughing, hiding the tears in [his] eyes, 'cause boys don't cry".
