Julian Cope

Julian David Cope (born 21 October 1957) is an English musician, writer, antiquarian, social activist and cosmic shaman, best known as the lead singer of the Liverpool post-punk/neo-psychedelic band The Teardrop Explodes. He likes obscure psychedelic bands, comics, hallucinogens, neolithic culture, heathenism, swimming with dolphins, bananas, Helen Mirren, toy cars, Barbies and his wife Dorian. He dislikes bigotry, rudeness and being called whimsical. He believes himself to be hatable but is in fact one of the most loveable musicians due to his honesty, thoughtfulness and endearing weirdness.
Person A: I love Julian Cope! His music is so joyful and melancholy at the same time. He describes some of the most complex states of the human mind with such ease, honesty and vulnerability. Nobody, to my knowledge, has captured that feeling of simultaneous peacefulness, yearning and isolation quite so well in their music. He is truly special to me. His political songs are also worth mentioning, as is his authenticity and complete dedication to the things he loves, and his hair.

Person B: Julian Cope? Isn't that the guy who posed for an album cover wearing nothing but a giant tortoise shell?
Person A: Yeah...
