DJ comments: Ian Curtis committed suicide a month after the song was released as a single in April 1980. Apparently love did tear him apart.
For real, though: Deborah Curtis had the phrase "Love Will Tear Us Apart" inscribed on his tombstone. — BJH

If you didn't catch the movie Control at the Bijou before Spring Break, be sure to check out the film on DVD soon. You will run out and buy every JD album you don't already own. — cwc
