On Ian Curtis - Joy Division

"Perhaps not all of the goths who flocked to Joy Division's posthumous releases, who dressed as creatures of the night to prove their love of death, really wanted to die. They just needed a way to express their disenfranchistment. Lacking a blues of their own, they created a community of the living dead, a society that aligned itself with death because life was substandard. They needed a folk hero like Ian Curtis to die for them, so they wouldn't have to discover for themselves that death had no sting."

from Bela Lugosi's dead and I don't feel so good either

"I'll break them down no mercy shown. Heaven knows it's got to be this time"
