Any Joy Division Fans?

[Billys Boots]

Reading the book about Ian Curtis written by his wife.  I don't think I would have liked him.

I saw 'Control' recently, which was based on her book/writings, and its main premise is that he was a man with pretty severe (though not unusual) psychiatric problems.

Read the book, still quite undecided about it. While I have no doubt Ian Curtis was a bit of a nightmare and a man with pretty severe issues; I felt it was a little bit one sided and she come across very bitter towards the other members of the band. Still definitely worth a read.

I also saw the documentary 'Joy Division' about a month ago, mostly in the band's (and people they knew's) own words, through interviews.  A good counterpoint to the movie, for those interested.
