This is really only for my friend Zerlina.

I finally figured out why the band called themselves "Joy Division" when they were so depressing; originally called Warsaw, in order to avoid confusion with the London punk band Warsaw Pakt, the band renamed themselves Joy Division in late 1977, borrowing their new name from the prostitution wing of a Nazi concentration camp in the 1965 novel The House of Dolls.

After Ian Curtis' suicide, the band reformed as New Order. Sheesh, Nazi Nazi Nazi.

Can you read this Zerlina? Can you read this from your throne at home?
