Peter Hook - Joy Division
I was attempting to make another vid the other day (but abandonned the idea when the effort began to outweigh any potential benefits) when I started remanicing about old VHSs and it prompted me to write this (which I had intended to write about at the time - but never got round to it).
Some months ago I met Peter Hook (of Joy Division, New Order fame) at the Song Writers Conference at Leeds College of Music (cheers Dale!)who is not only very interesting and funny but a nice chap to boot. Anyways, I recounted the tale of Bad Rockin'Beresford (Mutants bass man)who many years ago, as an avid Joy Division fan had splashed out on a Joy Division video tape. And I mean splashed out (back in those days music VHS tapes, any videos come to think of it, were bloody expensive) about £30 as I recall (about a weeks wage). The thing was he didn't have a video player (nor did any of us come to think of it) and thus spent most of his time trying to find someone to badger into letting him watch it at their place.
Beres, if you read this, Mr Hook apreciated your investment and asked me to say thanks.

ReplyDeleteNone of this comes as a surprise! btw Bumped into Boss at the weekend for the first time in the best part of a decade and was equally shocked to find out that he too now was the proud owner of a mobile telecommunication device!
