Cope, Julian
Copeulation
Issued for the first time as a DVD collection, the videos of Julian Cope and Teardrop Explodes display some seminal moments of genius and English pop/rock history. This collection tracks ten years in the life of Julian Cope, through times when he burnt out, rose again, burnt out, and then rose again - showing why he got the epithet "flawed genius". Beginning with his work as part of legendary UK rock band The Teardrop Explodes and continuing onto his highly successful solo career - the DVD charts the extraordinary musical and personal journey that Cope experienced during the period. Many believe that he was a weirdo pretending to be normal - but the theory of a normal guy pretending to be sub-normal and displaying genius is more than borne out by the contents of this DVD.
