I'd go back to the early 90s and become the 6th Spice Girl, Manly Spice.

1991 - The offices of MTV - "Come on, NOBODY wants to see a show with a bunch of whiny teenagers arguing amongst themselves. The public will know it's staged and you will be the laughing stock of the world. I know that Viacom wants a steady flow of ratings and that the network is finding a way to do it with regular programming, plus I know it's inexpensive to make (although of course those videos you play have been GIVEN to you), but you're MUSIC Television. The Real World will flop!"

That should have done it.

"Oh yeah, that Unplugged idea? Keep that!"

lol The Real World was a huge success though.

Also there are like five different MTV channels now and at least 3 of them play music videos constantly all day.

I'd probably try and cheer Ian Curtis up a bit. Maybe bring him ice cream or take him back to Nazi times for a visit.

But then we wouldn't have New Order, the film Control and probably a few other good things.

Who, what, and why? Go!

Nope, I wouldn't do anything. I'm not going to go back in time and fuck up the space time continuum and have butterfly effect type ripples through time where I might come back to the present and not exist because of something I did in the past.

Nope. Not happening.

I like New Order and all but I think it's a necessary evil getting rid of them to have Ian alive - the other three would have just manifested that talent in other ways. Hopefully Bizarre Love Triangle would still exist somehow.
I reckon the only reason I like the movie Control so much is because I like Joy Division so much, so it's an easy choice.
The real question is whether the music would be as good if he wasn't on the brink of suicide....I imagine not

Or more importantly John Barnes rap in World In Motion.

You've changed my mind. I'll leave it alone.
