[Ex-Cracker]

Just been listening to a Doctor John Cooper Clarke album superb poetry lyrics great with the coffee and valium i have popped tonight. He lives on the route i take to my supplier, occasiinly see him walking to the shops near his, dont dare to try and converse with him as i jave regard for his privacy, but nether the less i see him about and find his poetry amazing, i now subscribe to his youtube channel and has some funky poetry and to music aswell. Well worth going on his youtube site if want to hear more of his work.

he's a living legend.

i flew to seattle to see him live in april 2018. he was, of course, amazing.

it was a pretty small venue and we hung out in the bar afterwards for a while. not the best pic but he laughed at my joke

Lucky you

tbh I only actually went to see him on purpose once or twice

the other few times were accidentally at a festival, and a couple of times when he was supporting other artists I'd gone to see

nevertheless it was always a good time seeing him do his stuff onstage - he's as much of a natural raconteur as he is a poet, his humour's so dry you'd get dehydrated in the audience

Honestly man, next time you see him just casually say "Hey John, thanks for the fantastic poetry man, I really love your stuff" and I'd be 99.9% sure he'd really like that

If he was on his own and you weren't getting in his face chances are it would be 100% fine and you'd get a few words from the great man. Then just leave it at that. He's always been approachable.

EDIT here ya go man, this is from one of his sets that I saw by "accident", I was helping out with the welfare crew at this little festi just for a few hours as a favour to someone whose place I was staying at for a couple of weeks and he happened to be there, was an epic set in front of quite the raucous crowd! Haven't seen him since then I don't think

"You went to a progressive psychiatrist - he recommended suicide" lmao
