Radio-On-Berlin : John Cooper Clarke
Manage episode 351175072 series 3408603
'I saw the legendary John Cooper Clarke perform his amphetamine punk poetry 30 years ago in an intimate club in Loughborough in the UK - it was an unforgettable performance and in 2019 when JCC came to Berlin for the first time, Radio On were extremely proud and lucky to interview him' - Adrian Shephard.
Haiku readings, poetry and magic,
“a gift that sharpened into a skill,”
indolence talk, professional poet, Charles Baudelaire, Pam Ayres...
“We’d never run out of conversation, Pam and I”
TV adverts , massive flat fee and being treated like a king, how to become a star in a commercial, sugar puffs, “pure energy in a box”
deflowerment, machine gun poetry and the erogenous effect, punk days, Howard Devoto and how JCC became a poet among punks, the glorious two punk years, “no flares and no beards,” Linder Sterling, Howard Devoto’s girlfriend,
“just from the look of it, I wanted to get involved,”
stationary questions, time travel questions, 1965, cassette question, Elvis,
“I’ve got a ghetto blaster in every room,”
“my poetry gets rammed down the reluctant throats of school children,”
Ends interview with the story of a dream starring Dion Dimucci, answering fanmail and reading a classic poem.
