Gang of 4, Clash, etc.
Then I guess you were paying my wages!
I used to do a lot of work for Straight Music who promoted those bands and many others. I used to handle publicity and some event management so I was around Leeds a lot at that time.
We also did some of those weekends at... was/is it the Kings Hall Queen Street or the Queens Hall King Street?
The huge old tram shed sliced in half by a brick wall...
Daze Of Future Past I seem to remember.
Anyway I, even if it seems different, am loathe to slag off someone for being a fan!
To my way of thinking, there is no contradiction when, say, Deborah and the band say things at odds to each other. They had different perspectives and may even have heard different versions of things.
It's now history and we know history is bunk!
NO one knows what Curtis would have done. Let's face it, most of even the best are burnt out within... 5years... 10 at a push.
So a 50 year old fat bald Curtis might not be the same... and certainly Hannet pulled something out of their music which maybe even they hadn't heard.
"Perhaps I'm placing WAAY to much importance in who JD were"
If they were important to you then they were... no two ways about it. But musicians are like the rest of us, they have lives away from music, families, illnesses, mortgages...
And often their own concerns are not how they project in music.
Many of those who have written the most insightful songs are not the nicest people.
Look at Dylan.
Actually, look at almost everyone.
Mad bad or dangerous to know.
Not many can cover all 3!
24 Hour Party People and Control would make a wild double bill!
By the way I don't think it is unusual for people to seek transcendence through music, but for me at any rate, that should not be confused with the person, the "star".
