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.

Pass on my gritty 80s coming-of-age novel, which is set in Flint, Michigan, today to somebody who loves Joy Division.
