I'm a massive Joy Division/New Order fan, and so I have noticed (and embraced) the obsession that there seems to be with dead celebrities and musicians.
My question- should they recieve the adulation and worship they do. With Joy Division in particular, this hero-worship seems to create the image of an immortal hero and most fans forget they were human, especially with Ian Curtis, and also that they had weaknesses and lives off-stage.
On the other hand, this fan worship keeps their memory alive.
What do you think. I'm actually writing an essay on this, so any answer would be appreciated!
