Julian Cope, Bond Street Busking and Music Industry Excess
While busking at Bond Street Station in London, Steve Lovell had a chance encounter with Julian Cope of The Teardrop Explodes. Cope had been searching for Lovell to join his band as a guitarist, leading to a professional partnership where Lovell became a musical arranger. Lovell reflects on the dysfunctional nature of the music industry during that era, characterized by heavy drug use and sleep deprivation.
