Title: Repossessed by Julian Cope
Tune: Out of My Mind on Dope and Speed, from Skellington 1
I've read Julian's 1st memoir, Head On, which chronicles how his band The Teardrop Explodes imploded, for reasons not unrelated to this tag. Repossessed, which I'll try to read in July, continues his story in the aftermath and how he crawled out of the crater in the Rock God form of The Arch Drude
TrishB Oh great choice! Love a bit of Teardrop/Julian. Have got his serious non rock music books too. Well worth a read. He stopped singing to shout at me in a gig once. It was in Bolton Theatre and we had seats in the front row. Late because of trains and then I was heavily pregnant and needed the loo- so had to push past people to get to our seats. He shouted did I have an excuse for being late and I shouted - (edited) 2y
TrishB Yes I I‘m pregnant and had to pee!!! Going to have to give this a play now. (edited) 2y
Bookwomble @TrishB What a fantastic story! 🤩 I hope he accepted your reason and gave credit for dedication 😉 I'm listening through the three Skellington albums now, while I breakfast on Marmite Peanut Butter and cheese on toast and black coffee. Good way to start the day 😊 2y

TrishB He laughed and said fair enough! I was talking about it with my daughter this week as apparently Harry Styles did a similar thing- but obviously on a much bigger scale! I‘m saying nothing about that toast. 2y
