The guy fucking sucked. Forget about the whole cheating on his wife, killing himself, and subsequently abandoning his child. He quit on his band right before they went on their first American tour. That’s not someone worth worshipping. That’s someone who should be reviled. Who cares if he was a deeply disturbed man or suffered from epilepsy? The guy killed himself when his band needed him most. If anyone is worth worshipping it’s the other guys in Joy Division. They’re the ones who showed the resiliency you look for in an idol.
