A little bit of self agrandisement, too.

That business about the stab-vest when visiting London... I just don't relate to. Nobody wants to be stabbed. I'd wear one, too - were there a real risk of being stabbed. Actually, if there were, I'd avoid going there, personally.

Is this really Julian Cope - man of the people? Perhaps he's been away from folk, a bit too much. Become a bit agoraphobic?

Anyway... I'm afraid, as much as I'd love to disagree with you, that 'free thinking revolutionary' stuff is indeed just hollow posturing to sell some records.

Good records, though.

Maybe, rather than continuing this aloof reading the forums and not contributing bollocks, it's about time he dipped in and shared a few opinions and communicated with the people who like him. We all know he does, after all.


Yes - the stab vest business was a bit preposterous. What's that about a burka as well ? Anyway, I haven't been to London since '96, and have spent the last ten years in the sticks. Crowds/cities make me uncomfortable and I try and avoid them. As for the revolutionary posing, I do find it slightly embarrassing and hollow, especially considering the sinister reality of the times we live in.
He's still capable of great music, but as for real action and sticking it to the man, I raise my hat to Pussy Riot.
