  1. I love the way Peter Hook holds his bass.
    Poor Ian Curtis, I feel sorry for him! He was expressing his despair through the lyrics of his songs and nobody was aware of it. I'm sure he wasn't the monster Deborah Curtis depicted in her book "Touching from a distance".

    Cheers!

  2. married too young, in the iron grip of a terrible illness, and immersed into a public lifestyle he was emotionally unprepared for, I'd say Curtis had a lot on his plate (so to speak). I feel sorry for his wife, but there's no way he was a monster. He was a kid who saw no way out of his misery.
