Peter Hook: JD Beast -By Helen Bach

Joy Division fan?  If you are or were and can make it through this video with out a seconds worth of choking up your a fraud.
There is a difference between Joy Division as boys and this as Peter Hook, the man.
He is in complete control.  He has a sexual power that’s not so much the ‘rockstar’ swagger but the confidence of a guy who’s not only “been there done that”
but, cuz you’ve been really good,
will do it just once again.
I could watch this forever.  My mind will not stay very clear though, if I did.
I sorta scoffed at this whole thing.  How dare you even attempt to tour JD without Ian Curtis.
Blasphemy came to mind, capitol gain more to the forefront really but now?
  
I envy anyone going to see this.  I know, without a doubt I could not emotionally handle seeing it.  If a silly 4 minute video can emotionally hit home I cant imagine the power of the entire set list.
Peter Hook, Joy Divisions co-founder Hook is also director of Manchester’s Fac 51 The Hacienda and manager of venue The Factory. He is also an author.  At 54, the guy is still beast.
