On this day in 1978, a certain British post-punk band performed a certain song live on Granada TV. In Your Silent Face, Stuart Page spends a lot of intellectual and emotional energy analyzing this particular band and its now infamous lead singer. The band and lead singer were important to Stuart. Both spoke to eighteen-year-old Stuart like no other band. The song which aired on Granada TV was Stuart’s favorite song.
