And in allegiance to his artistic principles, he does his part to run his organization into the ground.

Years later, Wilson enjoys a more popular cash cow with the band Happy Mondays, whose work is summed up in a quick joke: coke-snorting ruins a band's talent, but since the members of Happy Mondays had no talent, they could do as many drugs as they liked. The lure of rock & roll ends Wilson's marriage to Lindsay (Shirley Henderson), but in the meantime the promoter helps manage the brilliant, doomed band Joy Division. Wilson's life is changed when he sees a scantily attended Sex Pistols show in Manchester on June 4, 1976.
