im a joy division fan, but i have no idea what an eulogy is. |

a eulogy is a memorial for someone who died. for my class i had to write a eulogy about a dead musician of my choice, so there it is. |

I received From Joy Division to New Order: The True Story of Anthony H. Wilson and Factory Records, written by Mick Middles in the mail today. Should be an interesting read. |

its bacically a rehash of "touching from a distance", but good nonetheless. i would've referenced ian's influnces a bit more; the music he was listening to, the books he was reading. i don't get the part when you say "I do not agree with Curtis’ pessimistic view".. and i don't like it when journalists compare joy division with Nirvana or any other inferior band. |

yea, i don't either, but alas this is for a class and my prof listens to pearl jam/nirvana/blah blah blah. we has to read like 10 cobain articles for class, it was so annoying. also, i have to explain myself, as if to "disassociate" myself from ian so i don't get any sympathy comments or weird looks everytime i see him. plus, of course, i'm not a nihilist, depressed, or suicidal. anyway, i usually prefer my rough drafts (where i don't think about what the prof's opinion will be) to my final drafts, but this time i like my final draft better. i haven't read the book ian curtis' wife wrote yet, btw. i don't actually know much about what ian read. |

kind of ironic really..i mean, the whole joy division ethic was to "think the unthinkable, speak the unspeakable", and people still hold back, because they think others will dub them "suicidal"..thats rubbish. you don't have to read the book, to know what ian read. for instance: Atrocity Exhibition comes from a J.G Ballard book [which ive read] of the same name, only ad a "The". he was reading Sartre and possibly Camus, and Burroughs, and a few others that wer'nt that "main". |

i don't disagree with you, believe me. but when it comes to getting an A for an easy to understand paper or a B for a paper that only makes sense to joy division fans, i'll choose the A. keep in mind, this wouldn't be the same essay i'd submit to a music magazine or put in a book. it's something for an english class called "writing about music" where alternative rock is god and nothing in the 80s mattered. |

I would go for the truth and get the B. But hey, call me a nihilist if so. |
