Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division by Peter Hook
3.0
I bought this book more than 10 years ago and finally read it because I'm trying to clean out my TBR pile.
Hooky really doesn't like Barney. That would be my number one takeaway. He softens a bit at the end in giving him credit for some of his musical contributions but these two hate each other and that is that and we've certainly seen it play out in the press.
One also comes away with even more sadness re: Ian Curtis' suicide. It really could have been prevented but would have required someone stepping in and saying take a break. Now. And no one wants to stop a money maker so the overwork continued.
I also learned that salt helps remove blood stains and I never knew that so yes, Hooky, thanks for the tip as you said in the book. It was a good one.
