Remembering Ian

I just heard this short radio documentary on Ian Curtis and his band Joy Division. It was one of the saddest things I have ever heard. They were compleatly unapreciated and desperatly poor. At one point Ian had to give away his dog because he couldn't afford to feed him! It wasn't until after Ian died that the band got any recognition. In fact now they are concidered one of the most influencial bands in alt rock. In fact the remaining band members went on to form New Order. But still, for Ian Curtis, everything that he wanted only came after he died. Is that how it goes for us too? How many are unapreciated now? Will they finaly get the acceptance after they are gone? The old adage is true, "you don't know what you got till its gone" Its a shame though that we'll never know our true potential.

Where ever you are Ian, now you are missed.
