It's moaning about me having a pop-up blocker and is asking me to register before I can read the article.
Oh well, won't be reading that then.
Was able to read it on my phone.
Just like every other interview he does really:
"We were so influential "
"It's amazing when I go abroad to see the influence and impact JD & NO had/have"
"The Hacienda was mad and changed everyone's lives "
"I watched the George Michael doc and agree there'll never be superstars like Madonna or Michael Jackson ever again "
etc etc
What was different was the lack of bitterness and vitriol directed at the remaining members of New Order. We can only wonder if he'd conducted himself this way from get-go (with legal matters playing out in the background), a reconciliation in the future would be somewhat more likely.
Too much to take in at once, but I would like to ride around on a ferry boat while they play that revenge song about 4 big ugly sailors heading out to sea; also it would be nice if Peter could write a book about the republic, get ready ,and sirens sessions, prompting Bernard to write about the sessions. Also , over here supermarkets are always putting out thick glossy magazines about George michael, elton john, lady gaga, madonna, and recently Tom petty ,and the rest of all the twats of music, but there has never been a joy division or neworder or revenge, or monaco, or electronic issue. And what about Soviet , a fine emotional song ?

That's because Revenge are shit. Even my obesessive 1991 self thought so. Even superegotiscal Hooky thought so. How on earth could you fill a mag about a ripoff from NO, themselves a JD ripoff? It'd be like dedicating an entire issue of Mojo to Tasty Fish. Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising each time we fall. To buy the next pint.
