Happy Birthday, Hooky

Peter Hook was born on this day in 1956.

I had a little table on which I had my pile of books and, by the end, they were nearly as high as the studio ceiling. I used to get all the song titles from them. Even the album titles, as it turned out, because "A startling tale of power, corruption and lies" was a review quote from the Daily Telegraph on the back of 1984 by George Orwell. "Leave Me Alone" came from Tender Is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and "Ultraviolence" was from A Clockwork Orange, to name but a few.
