    I love that Bernard took the bull by the horns and became a bedroom musician to record his most positive track.. My musical hero. A true genius and purist. Punk taught the masses 'a can do' attitude. Something Barney has alluded to many times. The rhythm guitar in the second verse is sublime and New Order have always done this so well.

NO can keep making good music without Hook fighting and holding them back, and Hook can keep touring Joy Division and keeping Ian's memory alive.

I agree it is sad to see our childhood heroes having grown old, bald, overweight or increasingly embarrassing when they open their mouths but that's the way of things for all those musicians that just will not - or most probably for a lot of them for financial reasons, cannot retire and fade from the public eye......I cringe when I hear a certain disgruntled ex-member speak and as for John Lydon.....I often wonder if there is a link between the Trump supporting contrarian and the iconic face of punk that was .....I imagine there may well be people in our lives who knew us at a certain point and then compare us to now and think 'what the fuck.....?!'

    This is Bernard’s infamous home studio. He shouldn’t have written songs here on his own, while eating chickin wings. Most of albums since Republic should have sounded miles better, if he kept writing with Hook and Stephen at recording studios.
