Personally, I think the reason for his excuse is hooey. I cancel appointments fairly often out of fits of artistic pique, or because for whatever reason I'm just not feeling up to seeing anyone that day and putting on a sharp and entertaining front. I'll usually pluck a half-baked excuse out of the air to make myself seem a bit less of a misery-guts. A hunch tells me Cope's been through that same mental process a fair few times in his career.
I can understand why some locals may get upset, but if I was one I wouldn't give that much of a toss. It's nothing personal, and I think 'what's good for them' isn't very fair. Is it Pop Star/Rock Star ego antics, or just a personal decision perhaps badly handled ? As for the revolutionary schtick, I've never bought it into that bit anyway!
