In this week's NME we mark the 30th anniversary of Joy Division's
'Unknown Pleasures'. Key revelations include the fact that drummer
Stephen Morris never realised that Ian Curtis' tormented lyrics were
personal: "How could I have been so stupid? Of course he was writing
about himself. I didn't grab him and ask, 'What's up?' I have to live
with that."
