Prince Poppycock
In a magical realm far far away there lived the Crowned Prince of Absurdity, Prince Poppycock.
Prince Poppycock was a celebrated singer and his days were filled with frivolity, merriment and music. The Kingdom of Poppycock where he lived was a golden utopia, where all citizens had not a care in the world. Consumption, entertainment, and fun were the only things that occupied their minds. Everyone including the Prince was blissfully unaware of the dark trouble held in the Nefarious Nether Regions lurking just past the kingdom walls.
For those that do not understand, In 2006 John created the character of Prince Poppycock: a roguish operatic dandy with a persona and repertoire that drew on all John’s varied influences as a performer and a musician. Described by style maven and pop culture journalist Rose Apodaca as “a rock star in Rococo France,” Poppycock’s look and sound combined elements of glam rock, light opera, synth pop, and Western art music in a way that was fresh; sometimes startling; and always entertaining, doing each of those traditions justice yet transcending the past – rather than simply updating it – to become something truly original.
