A message from Julian Cope to Mac May 1st 2008

[Kounelaki]

JULIAN (Lord Yatesbury AKA Archdrude of Wessex)

says it all really doesn't it?

C.

Not to mention "as an Odinist warrior poet motherfucker".

I'd rather read the ghost written memoirs of someone who is a genuine weirdo like Mac than some dick who has spent a whole career trying to show how weird he really is.

Did anyone expected Mac to sit down and do write an autobiography without some assistance?

SO TRUE BF! It's obvious he's got some jealousy issues. You don't see Bono taking the time out of his busy career as an artist to write stuff like that about Mac.

I would think with Mac's sight problems alone that he'd need assistance. I read he needs help walking to and from bars?

I figured his sunglasses had prescription lenses in them, so he could actually see, yet still look cool

Also, he could dictate his memories, etc. into a tape recorder or whatever it is people are using these days to record stuff like that, get it transcribed and work with a ghost writer and/or editor to put it into book form.

As to the Archdrude of Wessex ... certifiable, or just an act?

[moondance]

Am I wrong about this, but doesn't Cope cut himself up on stage as part of his act? Not sure if I am thinking of the right guy but he sure looks awful and scary now.

[electrabunny]

I know Iggy Pop did that Moonies. But it is clear that Cope is a basketcase!

[Scouser]

Copey fucking nailed it there.

Mac - your a talentless twat. Just fuck off and die you foreskin.

Hey, if Paris Hilton can do it.............


What the hell is an Archdrude? Is that a cross between a dude and a droid or a dude and a druid?


Scouser, I'm shocked!

[moondance]

Scouser, I'm shocked!

It's the very strange phenom of the ultimate anti-fan.
I just don't get it. The band will never be the same as they were in the early days Scouser. What did Mac ever do to you anyway? Did he dare to change and grow? Even if you don't like his growth, I don't get why people are so nasty and down on him. Totally sick.

Yes I have a transcript...

"Zubba zubba zubba"

I mean you've heard Mac speak at a show right?



This whole Copey thing, just sour grapes like Mac talking shite about Bono in the 80's. It's just sad to see it now. It reminds me of sitting and listening to my ancient relatives bicker over old long forgotten family squabbles. Whatever. Mac is a shell of what he once was and Cope is a never was. That's the way it rolls in the music biz. I'll still take Mac over Cope any old day flaws and all.

Don't be, he's yer stereotypical scouser, he'll be off out robbing cars, shooting kids, spending his dole money on crack, telling the world how good his football team USED to be, and thinking he's really funny. That's what they do. And then when people don't believe them they wallow in their own self pity cos the world hates em.

So, as I said don't be shocked to see him turn on one of his own.

[withahip]

I like this board can I post what I am going to say here:

I think Cope is dead on. I think Mac thrives when he coolaborates as opposed to imposes his sole will. Yet, I still love Mac and look forward to his releases. The music Mac released with the original band really made a big impression on me. Empire State Halo, WAYGTDWYL, and Rust are three songs that are fantastic.

I think Cope has more - variety/weirdness to what he has done. But so does Captain Beefheart. And I don't really care for either one's music. Just like Steve Vai has more dexterity than Will. I'll take a Will guitar solo any day.

Mac probably is lazy. His voice is shot, he is physically in terrible shape, incoherent when he speaks . . . so be it. Sure it is irrational, but I look forward to each new song.

Long live Mac!

Pardon me but - fuck right off!!

[Crystal Days]

Watch it or I'll get our Ga, Ba and Te to batter yer.
