Imagine Julian Cope to become the 'prophet'/'erudite barbarian'/'rock god'/'nutter'/'whatever you like' that he is now?
Just as a point of conversation, to anyone who went and saw the Teardrops and went to the shops to buy the new St. Julian lp etc. Did anyone imagine him to be performing like he is now or even still writing at all?
As I was getting into him he was all Donor/LAMF with that mighty fuck of a beard. Or so I found out not long after spinning Passionate Friend for the first time (in a "I wonder what he's like now?" semi-serious affair), so I naturally stepped back and thought I'd take it slow. Not too long later, while I was experiencing Fried and World Shut Your Mouth for the first time, Citizen Cain'd emerged. I thought I'd take my chances and take a leap into the bearded unknown. Now I wouldn't have it any other way.
