Hace dos días falleció Manuel de la Calva del Dúo Dinámico. En los años setenta la pareja se separó y se alejó de los escenarios pero hubo una persona que les convenció para volver a cantar juntos. Hablamos una familiar del hombre que logró la vuelta a la música del dúo dinámico y autora de "Ayer tuve un sueño. Manolo Díaz. Sesenta años de música pop en español", Belén Carreño. El director Pablo Marqueda se asoma a La Ventana para hablar de su nuevo trabajo Caro Nanni. Es una película dividida en tres episodios, que refleja la vida y opiniones de Nanni Moretti. «En mi Vespa» es una aproximación a la vida cotidiana de Roma durante el mes de agosto; en "Islas" visita a Gerardo, un amigo que lleva once años viviendo en Lipari; juntos recorren otras íslas como Salina, Stromboli, Panarea y Alicudi. En "Médicos" el director rueda su propia quimioterapia y su recorrido por hospitales y especialistas incapaces de diagnosticarle la causa de unos insoportables picores.El 27 de octubre de 2023 comenzó la invasión de Gaza, una nomenclatura quizá inexacta porque todo lo que ocurre en Gaza afecta a Cisjordania y al Estado Palestino en general. De allí viene nuestra invitada de hoy, educadora artística y voluntaria en un campo de refugiados de Cisjordania del que acaba de regresar y en el que trabaja acercando el arte a los niños. Hablamos con Aitziber Urtasun. La banda The Police cosechó u éxito mayusculo durante los siete años que estuvieron junto con temas como este Every Breath You Take. Esta cuenta con casi 3.000 millones de reproducciones en Spotify y sigue generando unos 636.000 euros anuales, únicamente al cantante del grupo. Ahora los otros dos miembros, el guitarrista Andy Summers y el batería Stewart Copeland, han presentado una denuncia contra Sting por "daños y perjuicios sustanciales" por supuestamente deberle millones de libras en conceptos de derechos de autor

And... Sting’s in trouble with the old band! His former Police bandmates, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers, are suing him for royalties and songwriting credits on Every Breath You Take — the stalker anthem that’s weirdly become a wedding fave. The beef isn’t new though… these guys have hated each other for decades. Flea even revealed that Stewart used to write “F*** off, you sting” on his drum toms just to bash out his rage. There’s even an urban legend that Phil Collins once had to fill in on drums after Sting and Stewart blew up backstage. Rock’n’roll, baby.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

En el verano de 1983, «Synchronicity» llevó a The Police a la cima mundial y destronó de las listas de éxito al mismísimo «Thriller» de Michael Jackson, pero el quinto álbum del icónico trío formado por Sting, Stewart Copeland y Andy Summers marcó el final de la banda. Lanzado en junio de 1983 tras seis tensas semanas en la isla caribeña de Montserrat, «Synchronicity» evidenció las diferencias irreconciliables dentro de la banda que provocaron el fin de The Police.

Mike Howlett in conversation with David Eastaugh Howlett was the bassist in Sydney pop band the Affair, which included vocalist Kerrie Biddell. The group travelled to England after winning a prize in the Hoadley's Battle of the Sounds band competition. Howlett settled in London and in 1973 joined renowned British progressive rock group Gong, which had been founded by an Australian Daevid Allen. He remained with Gong until 1977, recording several albums with them and co-writing much of their material later in this period with drummer Pierre Moerlen. After leaving Gong, Howlett formed the short-lived band Strontium 90, which consisted of himself, Sting, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers.

In 1981, Sting brought a demo of a song he'd been working on down to AIR Studios in Montserrat to see what his bandmates thought of it... and they wound up keeping the demo and just recording their parts on top. The result was "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," an unusual Police song, but an enduring hit. On this episode, Kirk goes deep on every aspect of Sting's exuberant yet frustrated love song, unearthing the magic that lives in each piece of the music. This episode's subject was chosen by the Patrons of Strong Songs, who vote each season to pick one of the artists Kirk will cover on the upcoming season.

As long time listeners of the show know, The Wolf and Action Jackson were and remain huge fans of The Police. When they were 10, Synchronicity and Every Breath You Take ruled the albums and singles charts while being broadcast hourly on MTV. We'd thought we'd found the rock band we'd grow up with. However, lead singer and songwriter Sting had other plans. He'd grown tired to the infighting with Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland and wanted to take his songwriting and good looks solo. Dream of the Blue Turtles was Sting's first solo album making its debut June 17, 1985 and offered a more mature and jazzy approach to his songwriting. Enlisting the help of veterans like Darryl Jones (bass), Omar Hakim (drums), Kenny Kirkland (keys) and Branford Marsalis (horns), Sting created a more dynamic soundscape than he could have in The Police and took a big step towards being recognized as one of the premier songwriters of his generation. The first single, Feel Free To Set Them Free, set a groove and took advantage of new video technology for use on MTV. He revisited his ska/reggae roots on Love Is The Seventh Wave and offered a prayer of hope in the worry of the Cold War with Russians. However, Fortress Around Your Heart may be the best song he's ever written and it closes the album with style and substance. We may have wanted The Police to go on forever but Sting proved he could do so much more and this album went 3x platinum in the US with huge success around the world.

In the early ‘80s, The Police guitarist Andy Summers and King Crimson mastermind Robert Fripp formed an unexpected partnership—blending avant-garde progressive rock with stadium-ready new wave. Despite their vastly different styles, the duo released I Advance Masked (1982) and Bewitched (1984), crafting intricate soundscapes that pushed musical boundaries. Surprisingly, Summers wasn't even a King Crimson fan when they first collaborated. In a recent Guitarist interview, he revealed that he and Fripp had a “cosmic connection” dating back to their teenage years in England. Their journey—from crossing paths in local music scenes to creating two groundbreaking albums—remains one of rock's most fascinating stories. Now, previously unheard recordings from their sessions have surfaced in Mother Hold the Candle Steady, part of the Complete Recordings reissue. Summers admits he was “knocked out” revisiting these lost tracks, questioning why they were left behind in the first place. In this video, we explore how this unique collaboration came to life, why it still resonates, and how their experimental approach influenced generations of guitarists. Plus, we dive into the latest discussions surrounding Fripp, King Crimson, and the ongoing legacy of progressive rock.

Nothing Like the Sun, or as it is written on the album, "...Nothing Like the Sun,"  is the second solo studio album by former Police bassist and front man Sting.  The title comes from Shakespeare's sonnet number 130 which contains the lines, "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun."  Sting was met on the street one evening, who asked him, "How beautiful is the moon?"  Sting responded with this line from the sonnet.  Two events play a lot of influence on this album.  First, Sting's mother died in 1986, inspiring the lyrics to the opening track, "Lazarus Heart."  Second Sting joined the Conspiracy of Hope tour for Amnesty International, and through this tour was exposed to victims of government oppression in Latin America.  He was particularly moved by people in Chile for whom loved ones had "disappeared" in government actions, and wrote "They Dance Alone" as a description of the mourners who would dance the traditional Cueca by themselves with a picture of their loved ones pinned to their clothes.Sting's first solo album leaned into jazz.  This second album continues to have a jazz influence but reaches across a number of other genres including reggae, funk, acoustic rock, soft rock, and world music.  He brought in a number of solid musicians into the recording sessions including Gil Evans, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Branford Marsalis, and even his fellow Police alumnus Andy SummersSting would continue to further success after this album, which peaked at number 9 on the Billboard 200 chart.  In the UK, ...Nothing Like the Sun debuted and peaked at number 1 on the UK albums chart.Bruce presents this adult contemporary album for this week's podcast. Be Still My Beating HeartThis second single from the album went to number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The lyrics are quite mature, describing the head telling the heart to settle down in the midst of an intense romance.  The title was likely inspired by a 19th Century poem from Mary Elizabeth Coleridge.  Andy Summers is playing guitar on this track.  Little WingMost of this album is original music written by Sting, but this one is a deeper cut and a cover.  Jimi Hendrix wrote "Little Wing" in 1967, and it appears on his "Axis" album.  Gil Evans did a jazz arrangement of this piece in 1974, and provided this arrangement and backing with his orchestra for this cover.  Sting's version runs just over 5 minutes, giving it a run time just over double that of the original Hendrix version.  Rock SteadyAnother deep cut, this song is Stings humorous look at a couple who have volunteered to join a cruise, and later find out that they are joining Noah on the Ark.  "Life may be tough, but we're sailing with the Lord."  FragileThis is the fourth single from the album, and is a gorgeous acoustic piece.  This anti-war song was likely inspired by Sting's work with Amnesty International. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:That's Amore by Dean Martin (from the motion picture “Moonstruck”) This romance comedy starring Cher and Nicolas Cage delivered a Best Actress Oscar to Cher and a Best Supporting Actress Oscar to Olympia Dukakis.  STAFF PICKS:The Promise by When In RomeRob starts this week's staff picks with the only hit from a British new wave trio.  This track went to number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, and became a popular song to play at weddings later on.  It gained a revival in popularity when it was used in the soundtrack to "Napoleon Dynamite" in 2004.  Got My Mind Set On You by George HarrisonLynch brings us a cover of a song originally written by Rudy Clark and recorded by James Ray in 1962.  It is off Harrison's comeback album, "Cloud Nine."  Harrison worked with Jeff Lynne on the album because he wanted a producer who wouldn't be intimidated by working with a Beatle.  The teamwork went well, and the two would go on to form "The Traveling Wilburys" supergroup shortly thereafter.Dude (Looks Like a Lady) by AerosmithWayne features one of many hits from Aerosmith's monster "Permanent Vacation" album.  The lyrics tell the tale of a man finding out that the "girl" he has bee pursuing at a club was a man dressed up as a woman.  The idea for the song came from Motley Crue singer Vince Neil being mistaken frequently for a woman with long blonde hair.Mission by RushBruce closes out the staff picks with a song which arose from a conversation between Neal Peart and Geddy Lee about the perception people have that the rich and famous have easier lives.  The lyrics reflect how every life has its own difficulties, and perhaps those who are highly successful would often wish for a more plain and settled life at times.   INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Bailando/Aquatic Park by Carlos SantanaGuitar virtuoso Carlos Santana takes us out this week with a track from his solo album, "Blues for Salvador."

Check out the Electro-Harmonix Andy Summers Walking on the Moon Flanger/Filter Matrix Pedal here - http://sweetwater.sjv.io/baPWb9 This affiliate link helps support these shows! Andy Summers is an English guitarist, songwriter, and composer best known as a member of the iconic rock band The Police. Born on December 31, 1942, in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, Summers began his musical career in the 1960s, playing with acts like Zoot Money's Big Roll Band and the Soft Machine before joining The Police in 1977. With his sophisticated use of guitar effects, including delay, chorus, and reverb, Summers created the atmospheric and distinctive sound that became a hallmark of The Police's hits, such as “Message in a Bottle,” “Every Breath You Take,” and “Roxanne.” His fusion of jazz, rock, and reggae influences set him apart as a highly innovative guitarist. Beyond The Police, Summers has had a successful solo career, releasing numerous albums that explore jazz, ambient, and world music. He's also a noted photographer and author, with his autobiography, One Train Later, offering a candid look at his life and career. Summers' unique style and contributions to guitar playing have solidified his legacy as one of rock music's most influential guitarists.

For proof, listen to recordings he's played on by Daryl Stuermer (Phil Collins, Genesis, Jean Luc Ponty), Willy Porter, Greg Koch, the Kirk Tratnall Trio, and more. Not enough? He already has one solo album, Shine, to his credit and is about to drop his next one called Drone. These two albums are completely his original work and they will floor you. Add to that experiences playing with Andy Summers (The Police), Kate Pierson (The B-52s), Nils Lofgren (Bruce Springsteen), and a host of other notable artists and you realize there's something very special about "Johnny Cee."

How Andy Summers made a massive Police hit using a hand-wrenching guitar figure and a Telecaster with a mysterious history. The guitarist calls "Message in a Bottle" "the best song Sting ever came up with, and the best Police track”

This week, we head back to '82 (when we could throw a pigskin a quarter mile) with special guest Jackson Reed. With his band Jackson Reed and the Silverbirds, the 26-year old Calgary rocker is mixing an irresistible blend of earnest '80s classic rock with modern pop smarts. Following the success of tracks like 2021's "Dangerous Lover" (featuring legendary drummer Kenny Aronoff) and 2023's "In My Head," their latest single is a cover of Prince's iconic 1982 hit "Little Red Corvette", offering up a take on the classic that's both faithful and fresh. It's garnered radio airplay coast-to-coast in both the USA and Canada. Reed also hosts the wonderful podcast Guess That Record, where he has interviewed luminaries such as The Police's Andy Summers, Dweezil Zappa, and Billy Joel drummer Chuck Burgi. And, in tribute to Jackson's pod, we play a brand new O3L game called "Back in 82, I Could Guess That Song!" Like good honorary Canadians, we partake in conversations about hockey, Rush, the Tragically Hip, Degrassi, Corner Gas...plus little red corvettes, Brett's drag club appearance, and Uncle Gregg's oddly specific sensual fantasies.

We covered the big commercial hit album "Brothers In Arms" back in episode 154, but many afficianados of Dire Straits consider their finest work to be the album that preceeded this one.  Love Over Gold is their fourth studio album, released in late September 1982 and on the charts in June 1983.  For this album, prime mover and lead vocalist Mark Knopfler, bassist John Illsley, and percussionist Pick Withers are joined by new members Hal Lindes on guitars and Alan Clark on keyboards.  The songs on this album are longer than your standard single, particularly the majestic 14-minute "Telegraph Road."  Despite their length, "Private Investigations" was released as a single in the UK and reached number 2on the charts.  The shortest song, "Industrial Disease" (still clocking in at 5:50) was released as a single in the US.  It would reach number 75 on the Billboard Hot 100, but would be a staple of rock radio stations at the time.A number of songs were written and recorded during the "Love Over Gold" sessions, but subsequently discarded from album release.  Amongst these was the song "Private Dancer," which was instead provided to Tina Turner for her comeback album of the same name.   Turner would take this song to number 7 on the US charts, and see her career reinvigorated by the success of her "Private Dancer" album."Love Over Gold" was a number 1 album on a number of charts, including Australia, Austria, and the UK, and reached number 19 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart.Rob brings us this outstanding, deep, and thought-provoking album for this week's podcast.Telegraph RoadThis lengthy masterpiece was inspired while Knopfler was riding in his tour bus down the 70-mile road of the same name.  The song narrarates the development and history along the road as the decades roll past.  It is easy to describe this song as prog rock, but it also contains one of the best guitar solo riffs you will hear. Industrial DiseaseGoodness me, goodness me!  We have to highlight the US single from the album.  The title comes from a term for work-related illness, and the term in this song references both individual work illness and the decline of British industry in general.  The reference to Dr. Parkinson is a British professor and satirist who is famous for the phrase "work expands to fill the time available for its completion." ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Overture to the Marriage of Figaro by Mozart (from the motion picture “Trading Places”)Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd star in this comedy about a yuppie and a homeless man who are forced to trade places as the result of a bet by two rich stock brokers.   STAFF PICKS:Murder By Numbers by The PoliceBruce initiates the staff picks with a dark song about becoming a serial killer.  This Police song appears on the cassette and CD version of the album "Synchronicity," but was left off the vinyl due to lack of space.  It was written by Sting and Andy Summers, the only collaborative song on the album, and was recorded in a single take.  Rock of Ages by Def LeppardLynch brings us a huge song from Def Leppard's "Pyromania" album.  Producer Mutt Lange counts off the nonsensical "Gunter Glieben Glauten Globen," to open the song, and the lyrics form an anthem suitable for arena show openers.  Joan Jett's "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" was an inspiration to the creation of this anthem.Don't Pay the Ferryman by Chris deBurghWayne's staff pick takes a fantasy approach to the story of Charon and the crossing of the river Styx, advising not to pay until the trip is done.  Irish artist Chris deBurgh broke into the US top 40 with this song, peaking at number 34.  Lines from Shakespeare's play "The Tempest" can be heard in the bridge to the song.The Walls came Down by The Call Rob finishes the staff picks with a song that is inspired by the Biblical tale of the fall of Jericho.  Lead singer Michael Been would pull biblical references into his lyrics, including this song.  The Call formed in 1980 in California, and blended rock, New Wave, and post-Punk.  U2 and Simple Minds both consider The Call an influence in their music. COMEDY TRACK:My Bologna by "Weird Al" YankovicWe close out with Weird Al's meaty take on "My Sharona by" the Knack.

https://youtube.com/live/WS3zqWi2Iq4 Andy Summers' heavily modified Telecaster, a cornerstone of The Police's early sound, remains a mystery. In 1972, while teaching in California, Summers bought the guitar from a student. Already well-worn, it featured a humbucker in the neck, a phase switch, and an active boost controlled by a third knob. Though Summers only recalls adding Schaller tuners, much of the guitar's history is uncertain. While Summers identifies it as a 1961 model, others suggest it could be a 1963 Telecaster Custom, possibly with a 1950s neck given its maple fretboard, though this is debated. The Telecaster became central to The Police's unique sound, but it wasn't until 2006 that Fender decided to reproduce it. Summers had originally approached Fender about building a Strat with a Steinberger TransTrem, but the guitar giant received so many requests for his Telecaster that they instead launched a limited run of 250 Tribute models in 2007, priced at £9,399. The release coincided with The Police's reunion and Summers' autobiography One Train Later. One of the Tribute models recently resurfaced for sale at nearly double its original price. To create the Tribute series, Fender's master builder Dennis Galuszka closely examined Summers' original guitar. Despite this, the guitar's true origins remained elusive. No identifying dates were found on the neck or body, and Galuszka speculated that the neck might be from a 1950s Telecaster, based on remnants of white blonde paint. The body had been routed so heavily that no original markings were left. While adding a Gibson humbucker and phase switch was a common mod at the time, the brass bridge and active boost circuit were more unusual. The guitar's secret weapon was its active boost, controlled by a mini-toggle switch near the bridge. Yet the person who installed these mods remains unknown. Despite The Police's massive success, no one has come forward to claim credit for the modifications. Summers, too, has never revealed the name of the student who sold him the guitar. Summers (or someone else) continued modifying the guitar after purchasing it. In a 1978 performance, the Tele still had its original three-saddle bridge, but by late that year, Summers had replaced it with a six-saddle bridge. The bridge pickup was also direct-mounted to the body, likely due to routing required for the brass bridge plate. Photos show a crack in the plate between the pickup and control plate, which Summers left unaddressed. The guitar's pickups also remain a puzzle. Fender's team found that a Seymour Duncan '59 humbucker closely resembled the neck pickup, while the bridge pickup seemed custom-made. The active boost circuit, added before Summers bought the guitar in 1972, required routing to fit a nine-volt battery, which was uncommon for the early '70s. The Tribute model replicated this feature using a modified Eric Clapton mid-boost circuit since the original was no longer functional. Despite its iconic status, the Telecaster has only been reproduced in limited numbers. Guitars with humbuckers or phase switches are common, but the active boost remains rare due to the substantial modifications needed to fit it into a Telecaster's small control cavity. It's intriguing that, for such a well-known instrument, no mass-market model has ever been made, and that the person responsible for its groundbreaking mods remains anonymous. Summers' heavily modified Telecaster played a vital role in shaping the sound of The Police and became one of the most unique instruments in rock history. It's remarkable that such an influential guitar was modded by an unknown individual whose work helped define a band that sold millions of records. Hopefully, one day, the person responsible for these now-legendary modifications will get the credit they deserve.

Guitarist, composer, and teacher Benjamin Verdery seems to know everybody who's ever picked up the instrument. Ben is a classical guitarist himself, but his musical friends include Andy Summers of the Police, the fingerpicking virtuoso Leo Kottke, flamenco legend Paco Pena, guitarist Bryce Dessner of the indie rock band The National – the list goes on and on. Lots of contemporary composers have written works for him, and Ben himself has written a wide range of works. He's filled a 40 year career with a wild assortment of collaborations and collaborators. Recently, Ben emailed to say he was retiring next year, so it seemed high time that we invite him back here before he jets off to Hawaii. Benjamin Verdery plays some of his own pieces from his collection called Some Towns and Cities, and yes, at least one of those towns is in Hawaii.  Set list: 1. Capitola, CA 2. Keanae, HI 3. Milwaukee, WI

Famed drummer for the Police and composer Stewart Copeland has one of the more fascinating bios in modern music. His father was a founding member of the CIA and his mom worked in British Intelligence. After playing in the successful UK prog rock band Curved Air in the mid 70s, Stewart started a new band called the Police with bassist and lead singer, Sting—and eventually guitarist Andy Summers. Over the next decade the Police would go on to become one of the top-selling rock bands of all time, selling over 75 million records. Last year Stewart released the book, “Stewart Copeland's Police Diaries,” which includes his personal notes dating back to the band's formation in 1976 through 1978, when they started to take off. On today's episode Bruce Headlam talks to Stewart Copeland about the first time he saw Sting play and how he was able to successfully lure him into his then non-existent band. Stewart also explains why he and Sting eventually had a musical falling out, and how the Arabic rhythms he heard growing up influenced his highly lauded drumming style.
