OK here goes with possibly my shortest gig review ever. Julian turned up at the venue complained about the lighting and fucked off home! Mr Cope you are not just a talented eccentric as I used to think; you are a twat, a diva, an arse, a tosser and someone who really couldn’t give a shit about his fans! Julian Cope you are the second biggest cunt in the world!
Who is the first? The PM?

No the PM is also second biggest 🙂 It comes from a Derek and Clive sketch (Peter Cook and Dudley Moore)

Ah! I need to educate myself on Derek and Clive sketchs I think.

It’s well worth it, but perhaps not in polite company 🙂

What exactly was it that wasn’t right for him? I worked with him for years and would agree with everything you say about him!

I hear that it was the lighting, but I also heard that he had a hissy fit when he was told that he couldn’t park his car outside the venue for a quick getaway. Well he could have done but given the double yellow lines he would have been clamped! Incidentally if you worked for him for that long and you would be happy to do an interview for my blog I would love to hear from you. As long as there is nothing libellous of course!

I remember him trying to pull a gig in Glasgow once because he was having a hissy about the load in but we just put the gear on the stage. It’s about time people knew about the real Julian Cope, he’s a complete narcissistic personality disorder on legs. I’m sick of hearing the ‘crazy LSD eccentric’ stories, he’s just a cunt, in my opinion.
