Thanks for posting the link but it's still not enough to remind me: I'll have to go a-hunting on Spotify to see if I can unearth it. <br /><br />I'll let you know.<br /><br />Yes, I was the same in my naivety at such things around that time - I thought that pop stars no longer did drugs, like they'd gone out of fashion in the 70s or something along those lines. How wrong I was. I recommend a read of <i>Head On</i>, Cope's first autobiography - I found it compelling and laugh-out-loud funny.trousershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879862280895772283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137682720915766788.post-19573644987751783112009-11-03T14:12:50.855+00:002009-11-03T14:12:50.855+00:00That would be mind-altering, although perhaps mind...That would be mind-<i>altering</i>, although perhaps mind-<i>latering</i> may also work.LottiePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464376197679468718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137682720915766788.post-75102119058912000502009-11-03T14:11:16.868+00:002009-11-03T14:11:16.868+00:00Yikes.

In my defence, I was confusing it with Bill Drummond's alleged riposte, <b>Julian Cope is Dead</b>.<br /><br />Even the magic of the internet does not reveal a video clip, but I did find <a href="http://www.student.brad.ac.uk/alradtke/lyr-bds.html" rel="nofollow">this</a>, which might serve to remind you of the song.<br /><br />How I loved that album Fried when it came out! In my teenage naivete I didn't even realise that it was <i>possibly</i> made under the influence of all kinds of mind-latering substances, despite the clues: for a start, on the front JC scrambles across a hillside naked but for a large tortoise shell.LottiePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464376197679468718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137682720915766788.post-16824283760423582652009-11-01T13:50:03.666+00:002009-11-01T13:50:03.666+00:00No problem, LottieP.
