For the last few days ive been reminiscing... and realising how when we are younger we kinda think we are invincible.
Twenty eight years ago i went to see "Joy Division" at the Winter Gardens in Malvern and they were absolutely amazing. This was in the April, in the May the lead singer, Ian Curtis, committed suicide. At the time i was heavily involved with a local band,my boyfriend came into Boots (where i was on my final day of working) and said that Ian had killed himself. We all went out that night and sat around, talking, smoking, drinking and generally grieving.
Ive just watched the Joy Division documentary DVD, watched "Control" and im now playing "Unknown Pleasures" and feeling really melancholy. If he was alive today, he would be just a bit older than I am and god know what would have happened to him..
Just wish he would have thought that tomorrow was another day and to kill himself wasnt the way out.
Dont know what the point is of this thread to be honest, i just wanted to share... was anyone else a fan??
