Walk into any college dorm then, and chances were good that “Love My Way,” “The Ghost in You,” or another Furs anthem could be heard blasting from at least one student’s room. But almost as quickly as they burst on the scene — with their dark shows and haunting tunes — the band seemed to disintegrate.
