Julian Cope Boeken
21 oktober 1957
Julian Cope is een Britse muzikant en auteur die bekendheid verwierf als een toonaangevende figuur in de post-punk muziekscene. Naast zijn muzikale carrière is hij een erkend auteur en onderzoeker, diep geïnteresseerd in de neolithische cultuur en megalithische vindplaatsen. Zijn geschriften kenmerken zich vaak door een kritische blik op de hedendaagse westerse samenleving, gecombineerd met een interesse in occultisme en heidense tradities. Cope staat bekend om zijn fervente steun aan obscure en underground muziek en zijn onderscheidende benadering van cultureel commentaar.
